The small CMOS battery should keep the motherboard's clock ticking to make sure the date and time are retained but it appears that my CMOS battery is dead. Once the MBA logs onto wifi it soon picks up the correct date and time from the Apple Time servers, but often I'm out and about with no network connection and have to set it manually. I've reported it to Apple and they agree that it sounds like a faulty motherboard battery and it needs repairing which can take up to 2weeks!
