Hi,

Battery problems here as well. I soldered a BR2032-battery on the board (it
seems the polarity marked on the silkscreen is wrong btw), but it still does
not keep the time if I unplug the power source. Battery voltage shows 3V and
- is connected to GND as it should.

_Should_ this be working in the first place?
