Hello,

sorry to reopen this old thread but it took me some time to measure. As
I've said I have one RTC module sitting right on my desk in my room
where temperatures can go anywhere between 3C and 20C.

Using naive method of comparison of time difference between system time
and RTC module I get time difference only about 4.487869e-02 seconds in
22 days.
