How can you tell if your battery is running down apart from the computer clock losing time every day?

Thats how you know unless you remove it and test it with a multimeter- life is 5-7 years and they cost about �1.00 & 2 minutes to fit

I realise that the clock is one of the first indications of the battery running out but it is not as simple as you make it sound. I have been looking into it and have found that as soon as you change your battery, your computer is wiped so you lose everything. That is why I want to make sure that it is the battery and not anything else. It doesn't lose time overnight, only when it is on during the day - which doesn't make sense. Also my computer is only just two years old.
I chyanged my battery a week ago - it did not wipe the computer - mine is two yrs old.
