Finally i got replacement backup capacitor.
After soldering new cap and testing problem was solved, clock can be unplugged and after powering back time is still counting.

From some time, my great Philips Wake-up Light start suffering from resetting clock time after short power loss. I remember that some time ago, when unplugged in power loss occurred after power back clock time was continued. It clear indicate problem with backup battery. I decide to open and investigate.
Inside i found not a single use backup battery but capacitor. Over time it’s lost capacity.
I do not have spare so decided to order new one from bay.

This is newer plastic one (i do not recommend for re-celling)
I tear down HYT BL1719 to check if possible re-cell.
