Can't save on a game? I Can Help! Battery Repair!
** Yours might be gone already! Check the bottom for more info!
Hey guys! I was just wondering if any of you guys needed your battery replaced for any of your game cartridges on these systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advanced, NES, and SNES?
I can sort that out for you! :3 More info in the spoiler below:

Or if you don't want to pay for an ebay listing fee, he can also host this on another forum he buys frequently on where he is also a very reputable member. (You can ask him or I for the link at any time.)
Thanks for reading!
Extra battery info: Typically a cartridge battery actually may last you anywhere from 10-15 years. However some may last longer or shorter depending on the make and manufacture date. You may find that some of your games have already experienced this (you can't save or when you try to save it doesn't hold your save.) Installing a new battery will give you, on average, an extra 10-15 years of gameplay.
P.S. If this is not allowed in this blog, please let me know and I will take it down, thanks!

Uhh like... for example, will removing my Crystal's original battery delete its save file then? ;-;Posted February 9th, 2012 at 03:04 AM by TwilightBlade

I do believe it will TB, since it will be cutting the power to the memory the save data is stored on.Posted February 9th, 2012 at 07:13 AM by donavannj

Yes it will, but speaking honestly it's going to die soon eventually and you'll lose your save anyways. Though, you might be able to squeeze a couple years from it. It's up to you whether you intend to play it later again or not and have it for another 10-15 years.Quote:Originally Posted by TwilightBlade

You also might as well check your game now if you haven't in a while. I know my brother's Silver version died like 6 years ago but my Gold version is still good. It really just depends on when Nintendo's batteries got manufactured for your particular game.
If you have any other games you want to fix, or if you want to wait a while and get it fixed after, you can always PM me (or even VM me) and we can work something out :3Posted February 9th, 2012 at 12:59 PM by Kura

Interesting...I'll try to keep this in mind for future reference; thanks for the info. My FireRed and Emerald cartridges seem to be working fine now, and I would think that Emerald has a bit more longevity on it. I plan to restart my FireRed file soon, but restarting Emerald is indefinite at this point...
I've clocked in 700+ hours on Emerald right now IIRC...if that save file were to be lost due to internal battery failure; I'd probably be devastated. :cer_cry:Posted February 13th, 2012 at 06:58 PM by fenyx4

That's awesome Gonz0! :3 You got the right idea! .o. Hope you're using the proper japanese batteries though. Someone I know had it explode on them from using the ones from China @___@..
