There is no battery on the Beaglebone. It's on the board the Beaglebone plugs into that has the battery-backed RTC. It's not clear to me how long before shipping of the machines those boards were populated with the battery and sat and how finicky the system is with a battery that drops below a certain voltage threshold. It's something to monitor over time.
FWIW, most of the Beaglebones in the world have an internet connection as set their clocks via NTP. The battery is just a way to hold and run the RTC and NTP is usually there to reset it.
