I’m not sure if this is a rechargeable Lithium battery or not. In any event even rechargeable batteries have a lifespan.

Although in the statement from the user manual (see image below) the operative word may be ''might,'' otherwise they would state that it has to be reset every time the main battery is removed as is said in other camera manuals. Maybe they don’t want users opening the camera to replace the battery. ;-)
