Camera requires resetting date and time every time it is powered on

Camera requires resetting date and time every time it is powered on Canon PowerShot SX160IS is not retaining the date and time, requiring these to be reset every time the camera is powered on. Has happened to several friends' cameras as well. Not just this model but earlier models such as 150IS. Is this fixable?
