dead battery = this problem?

I recently noticed that when I unplugged my imac (two year old, G5) for 30 minutes, that I need to reset the clock. Makes me think the battery is dead.

Here's my question - Could this be causing my problems with crashing during sleep? It will not wake. It used to be intermittent, but I now have to leave it on without sleep, and shut it off manually.

Or perhaps its the power supply like I fear.

Thanks!

What I'm really looking for is whether or not it could be causing the wake-from-sleep problems.

Yes, it certainly could be causing sleep issues.

But does it matter? I mean is there any reason not to replace the battery?

An iMac may not wake if the NVRAM is corrupt. Here are some instructions posted three weeks ago: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4463407&#4463407

If that's the problem, perhaps a low battery caused it and will cause it again.
