Linna's alarm clock doesn't require electricity to display, just to run (in 
other words, it is a clock with a rather revolutionary display mode known 
as "hands").  Back-up battery? She's like me - it's long since drained and 
she's never bothered to replace it.

Of my 3 alarm clocks, two are electric. Of those, one has hands and the 
other has numbered tiles that flip over. Of those two, only one has a 
back-up battery, but it's long-since drained and I've never bothered to 
change it. My 3rd clock is LCD, but it's battery powered.
