C100: Internal Battery

[Burners]

I have a C100 mk1 that is not remembering the settings when turned on (asking for date etc). I have followed the manuals instructions as per leaving it plugged into the mains via the charger for 24 hours. Still no joy. I am assuming the internal battery has come to the end of its life but have found no information on swapping it out. There is a little panel behind hidden by the closed LCD that I opened hoping for access but this just gives access to some kind on connector.

Does anyone know if there is a away to change this battery or some other fix? There is no Canon service centre in my country.

Thanks

All that is said in the manual is:

"Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery
to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in
lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use
the camcorder for about 3 months.
To recharge the built-in lithium battery:
Connect the DC cable and compac
t power adapter to the camcorder
and use a household power outlet to power the cam
corder for 24 hours while it is turned off."

This means that an authorized Canon service center will have to replace it. I don't know of anyone who sells this battery or where you would get instructions on where it is and how to change it. You will need to send your camera to a country that has an authorized EOS Cinema camera repair center.
