Not all computers warn you and some do not even have a sensor 
for it (some Lenovo Laptops from the last 3-5 years, e.g.).
I guess they expect the thing not to be in use logn enough
for the battery to die.

The clock being wrong is a dead giveaway for a dying battery 
though. It is usually a CR2032 litium battery these days.
