I'm against using RTC_VL_CLR for this as it deletes important
information (i.e. the date is probably invalid). You should let the RTC
clear the bits once the battery has been changed:

"The LBAT75 bit is set when the
VBAT has dropped below the pre-selected trip level, and will self
clear when the VBAT is above the pre-selected trip level at the
next detection cycle either by manual or automatic trigger."
