Has your internal battery died yet?
 
Well this is an interesting topic. The problem all Poké fans dread. it's the horrible internal battery. Has yours died yet?

I bought a copy of Pokémon Silver off a friend and I took it home. I got really far into the game and I saved it. Later I came back and the save was deleted...I'm still planning on getting the battery replaced.

Has anyone else had their internal battery die yet?

Omgoodness! Don't even make me think about that- it's such a sad fate for all my pokemon games ( I was reccently given Red, Yellow, Gold and Crystal - which is cool cause i had blue and silver) and NONE of the internal batteries work. Makes me so sad that when I do want to play I can't (well technically I can) use my original copies.

You can't really replace the internal batteries. You can always try to leave the gameboy on for a few hours without doing anything, as this can help to kick some life into the battery, but's not terribly effective.
Funnily enough, the internal battery for my Gold is still fine.

Azzurra October 6th, 2008 1:04 AM

Nope, my internal battery is still going strong, and I bought the game in 2001, and for help on the batteries, you could contact your local Nintendo Company building, and ask for advice/buy a new battery which should last for a good while.

My Gold and Silver's internal battery work fine.
My other copies of Gold and Silver however, the internal battery doesn't work T_T

Soul D3w October 6th, 2008 8:07 AM

I have more than one copy of gold and silver and the batteries are all dead except for one gold.

Rich Boy Rob October 6th, 2008 8:17 AM

The battery in my silver is still going strong but then again I don't use it too often

Bleuhorn October 6th, 2008 8:18 AM

Why would such a thing happen to all? Such a shame. My Gold version had roughly around 540:26 time played and that was right before my dumbass traded it in around 2004. Oops... I had an event mew as well, which was the sad part about it.

Chairzard October 6th, 2008 8:35 AM

Mine did a while ago with my Gold copy I got the 1st month gold came out quite a while ago, I already duped and traded most to my silver version which still works though.

True Justice October 6th, 2008 11:45 AM

Unfortunately, mine has died. I had pretty much beaten my entire way through Silver. I even had a Celebi (used a friend's Gameshark) that was deleted and it filled up my brother's Pokedex. My brother's game is still strong. He has a Shiny Golduck on it so he needs to grab some pictures and video of it before the battery dies.

I played Silver to death so consequently the battery has run dry. It's a real shame, but my Crystal version still works fine... I think *goes to check save game...*

NeonMewtwo October 6th, 2008 12:27 PM

The internal battery in my Gold, Silver, and Crystal games are completely used up. I had hundreds of hours, and lots of cool Pokemon.

.:Kanto:. October 6th, 2008 3:18 PM

I'm starting day 1 of attempting to recharge my internal battery. I've put my Pokémon Silver in my Gameboy SP and left the gameboy on. It's also hooked up to a charger. I hope this works..

Melash October 6th, 2008 6:32 PM

Okay, I've got a Crystal Version with at LEAST 500+ hours! Yeah, I used to play it a lot....anyway, it still hasn't died! It's a miracle! I also have a Silver Version with a lot of hours on it that hasn't died yet.

I figured they would by now, but hey, I'm not complaining!

MrsMime October 6th, 2008 7:35 PM

Both my Silver and Crystal games are still working like new. Although I hope I'm not jynxing it. :|

wolf October 7th, 2008 3:49 AM

My Crystal is still like new and I have used it for 578 hours! I would hate if my internal battery died... Well I guess I just got lucky with my battery!

woooooohooooooooooooo October 7th, 2008 8:15 AM

DevinRed October 7th, 2008 8:20 AM

No. But my Pearl has 359 hours on it. And its a wonder if it hasn't. :/

Skaterzpenguin October 7th, 2008 9:12 AM

Once ur battery is dead and won't save ur game anymore. Just easily get a new battery and replace it, but you need the correct tools to remove the old battery... ;]

Legobricks October 7th, 2008 2:53 PM

To my knowledge, none of my game batteries have run out.

Lies, just get yourself a soldering iron.

I can't imagine all the problems people will have when their Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games Internal Batteries start to die.

Looking at my Diamond cartridge, It looks like something you wouldn't want to open unless you were really desperate to fix... It has no screws. Looks like when the internal battery runs out. Your screwed. Buy a new copy. But thats just my guess.

Lets hope it dosen't happen for a very long time..

Decibel October 7th, 2008 4:05 PM

My Crystal is still goin strong after like, 500hrs, but both my gold and silver's batteries have run dry. I can't be bothered to try to recharge them :).

BeachBoy October 7th, 2008 4:09 PM

Yup, ran out about... 5 years ago, actually. O_o Gold & Silver went bye bye. D: I always thought it was my fault back then. v_v Well, yeah.

Confuse October 7th, 2008 5:08 PM

My Gold killed my saved game after about 450 hours. After figuring out what happened, my dad was able to put a new battery in.

Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Clouddyl October 9th, 2008 10:35 AM

I stopped playing silver 'cause I didn't want the disappointment of trying to play it one day and nothing happens, but i caught a mareep and named him electroman, and I'm midway through getting a quilava on diamond, so my team'll be complete, with added glaceon!
