If your backup battery reported 0% you may have a problem similar to the one I experienced. That being, my backup battery didn't always maintain a good contact within the battery compartment. To remedy the problem I simply inserted a very small piece of foam padding between the backup battery cover and the top of the backup battery. This applies a small amount of downward pressure on the battery helping maintain a good contact. Since doing this, I have not had any problems with the battery reporting 0%.
I agree with PMOTO, as I experienced the same problem, I took a different approach...I reformed the three contacts beneath the battery to put more pressure on the battery. It solved the problem for me. It seems that either solution might work for you as well.
