It could not be the battery. Unless there are SERIOUS faults in the lithium cells, it will not just shut off like that. The EEPROM is very significant. EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is usually used in your CMOS. There was some sort of error and it reverted itself back to the previous flash. Please download SpeedFan and report back with your computer's temps.

The checksum error indicates a bad CMOS battery. If you left it without charging for a few months, that will cause the RTC battery to drain as well.

I would try replacing the RTC battery. If I get to it, I will try to do some research on that. If not, sorry.
