A removable real time clock battery ('RRTCB') assembly is disclosed herein. The RRTCB assembly has an outer housing removably mounted in a port of a downhole tool. The outer housing is adapted to receive at least a portion of an inner housing. The inner housing has a cavity therein and is mounted in the port of the downhole tool. The inner housing is removably disposed within the outer housing. A real time clock battery is removably disposed in the cavity of the inner housing. The real time clock battery electrically connects to a clock disposed within the downhole tool. The RRTCB assembly can be readily removed from the downhole tool or bottomhole assembly (while at the earth's surface) without otherwise disassembling the downhole tool. The real time clock battery can then be removed and replaced or installed if not present.

This disclosure may generally relate to systems and methods to compensate for changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature and pressure, that may be experienced by downhole tools. A downhole tool may include a tool body; a protective sleeve disposed around the tool body, wherein an annulus is formed between the protective sleeve and the tool body; a sensor coupled to the tool body; and an environmental compensation system, wherein the environmental compensation system comprises a bladder, and wherein an interior of the bladder is in fluid communication with the annulus.
