sounds like the battery isn't charging then, could be a duff battery or the battery isn't soldered correctly to the charging part of the pcb.
what voltage are you reading across the battery?

last time i checked it was 2.4 volt,it only has 2 solder points so assume if it was keeping memory before it should charge aswell

it has only two solder points but there will be multible tracks running off it.
is the board dual layered? needs soldered on both sides?
