I had the same problem. It got worse and then the clock failed altogether. I found a thread back in the beginning of April. I found that the connector block on the clock board was loose, resolder it and fixed my clock...

It never "cuts" out. It simply will just go back to 1:00
ANd no I havent disconnected my battery in some time.

It's the start of the problem. The clock momentarily loses power due a failing solder joint and resets the clock. Mine went for a while like that, then started to be intermittent on / off, then finally remained off. The solder joints (typically on the 4 pin power block) fail over time. The temperature will affect it also as the metal contacts expand and contract.
