Default Laptop CMOS Discharge rate

I rarely use my newish Toshiba A55. I keep it unplugged and put the main
battery in the refrigertor. When I boot up once a month using the power
cord, the NiCad CMOS battery has died and I need to reset the date in BIOS.
Would replacing the CMOS battery help or is this about as long as I should
expect under these conditions?
Thanks.
