Is there anything I can get or do so my apex keeps time and date after power outage?

Should be saved even after power outage. Visit neptune forums for answers.
My power goes out regularly during storms and never loses it date or time.

You could by a computer Uninterruptible power supply. You would need a power supply for the apex. Not sure if they have a stand alone but you could use a cell phone charger to power the main unit if it is rated at the right power for the apex.

I would read through the neptune forum before attempting this.

The Apex has a built in rechargeable battery that keeps it's internal real time clock going. I'm not sure how long this battery can keep the clock going in a power failure.

I've got my apex, router and modem connected to the backup so that if power goes out the apex will still be able to send me email / text messages.
