When battery is disconnected, how much time do you have before things need to be reset? Radio, remote, memory?

I removed my battery and installed a new one a few years ago and maybe the only thing I had to reset was my radio stations and I really don't remember doing that. They do sell a 9 volt battery that plugs into the cig lighter to keep memory, The worst case is to have to reset a few things and it takes no time at all.

Had mine disconnected for over an hour and the only thing I had to reset was the time on the radio and the Avg MPGs reset as well. All presets remained intact as well as memory seats and key fob was fine too.

When I installed a new battery , the only thing I had to reset is the clock. Had no battery in the car for maybe 20 minutes tops.
