Has your internal battery died yet?
Which games run dry? What causes it? Can it be prevented? How do you fix it? Sorry, I never heard of internal batteries before, and now I'm worried about all of my games. xD
|
Nope, mine's fine. I've clocked up 300 hours on Pokémon Silver and hopefully can continue to clock up a few hundred more *touch wood* :D
|
The only games whose Internal Batteries can die, are the Gold and Silver cartridges, but only after 6-7 years. Then, it can simply be replaced at specific locations. Since then, there hasn't been any other games that present the same problem. Luckily, my Gold and Silver games stil have a lot of life to give. |
My sister's gold she has had it since 1999 so it has been like 10 years and she plays it every day!! Yet her cartriges are perfectly fine.
|
I hope it doesn't die because i wont want to try and replace the battery and theres like no possible way for buying another
|
My pokemon Silver died after I'd done most of the game, so I wasn't too annoyed. But my Yellow stopped saving properly and deleted the Data... Juuuuuuuuust before the E4. Ironic.
|
Yes, in both Gold and Crystal, which sucks. Hopefully R4's don't have a battery that will end up dieing on me...
|
My poor Crystal had about 600 hours on it when it died D:
|
Crap. It can do that. D:
Noooo! My Silver!! |
My Crystal version died about a year ago. I wish I would have thought about just replacing the internal battery before I threw it out. D= So, eventually, I just bought a new one. All is well. Plus I learned a very valuable lesson.
|
My Pokemon Yellow works fine. I was all worried at first but then again, my sister has had hers for 10 years and I take WAY better care of my games then she does, so mine probably has a lot of life left in them. I'm really not sure. Is there any way to tell when your internal battery will die?
|
Yes all my GBC games internal batteries have died. But my dad puts in new ones for me so its all good. :D
|
My gold died, but I bought a replacement on Amazon. Crystal is still going strong. All my first gen ones are fine though.
|
if they die you can just replace them yourself.
a friend of mine used a watch battery to fix mine and now it works great. id advise getting someone who has some experience with electronics to do it though |
My yellow internal battery died... I was so bummed. I hadn't gotten very far in it, though, so I wasn't too bummed, but still. It's a sad thing.
|
Anyone have experience in replacing the battery? Can you use super glue to put the tabs back on or is it better to solder them on the new battery? Anyone know how much of a difference a cr2032 battery is compared to cr20205 like how much longer it can last etc?
|
My Silver game died a couple of years ago. Made me sad.
I ought to replace the battery but I'm too lazy or my dad won't do it. |
Luckily my Silver and Crystal are still going strong.
:nervous:*knocks on wood* |
The wait is killing me. I want them to die so I could hurry and replace battery.
|
No, my eternal battery didn't shut off yet.
|
On occasion my Crystal will hold saved files for a short period of time (two hours at most), but after that period of time is up, everything is gone...:(
|
Nope. Glad to say my Silver version is still in prim shape, even though my team fails (as the last time I seriously played through it was when I was 10 XD)
|
yeah I had my first version of silver burn down on me, but I guess it doesn't matter since I run on emulation
|
I tried to play my Yellow, Gold, and Silver Version again. When I checked, the internal batteries of my Gold and Yellow version were dead:( but my Silver Version is still working:)
|
Yup. My Silver Version died a couple of years ago. I threw it away.
Apparently there were a lot of problems with the Gold/Silver internal batteries. |
My leafgreen one has been ruined.... I don't know how to fix it either. I wish i did i read about it everywhere :(
|
All the internal batteries in my games are still working, thankfully! I'm rerunning through Crystal and Yellow, and both are working fine - I assume the others are too. I head you can send them to Nintendo to get fixed, but that could be wrong.
|
My Silver version died a few years ago but my Gold version still works.
|
My Silver version has gone completely :( If I want to play on it now, I have to leave the thing constantly turned on. If I turn it off once, it loses track of everything and if I leave it off, the save data disappears :(
|
The first Pokemon game I ever got was Gold. And it's dead ;-; Waaaaaait, Diamond , Pearl, and Platinum have internal batteries? I thought they ran based on the DS clock. |

|
I Never knew the Pokemon Games have internal battries in them?
what are they used for? |
Quite sadly, Crystal and Silver are both dead. D: Blue&Gold are still good so far, and I'm not sure about Yellow, didn't try.
|
My UK versions of Gold and Silver both died, but I replaced their batteries so they're good to go again. My Japanese versions of Gold and Silver are still going, as is my UK version of Crystal and US version of Silver - though they might give up the ghost quite soon. :S
Haven't checked my UK Red and Yellow, or my Japanese Blue and Green but I assume they're still working. |
Happliy my emerald is good but GBC and RBY re all dead
|
I've just found out today that the internal battery will dry out in GSC and RBGY games, I thought it only occurred in RS games (well for me my Ruby games only)
:t354:TG |
My internal battery for my old crystal ran out.
so i went and bought another crystal! and the internal battery works! yay! |
I've gone through 3 Gold versions and two Yellow versions, but my Silver and Crystal still work, thankfully.
|
Would everyone here sell me their old carts?
Because a 30p battery will make them full working again and I could make a huge profit on eBay. :| Seriously though, it's not that hard to pry your cartridge apart and shove in a new CR2027 or CR2032. On my Gold I didn't even solder it in, I just used tape and it's working great so far. |
Mine died ages ago, now I can't play my Gold :(

Heed my call guys, save the carts! |
My Silver died...
Well it was put in a washing machine anyways... But i think it just drained the power from the battery faster than normal.. My gold was working the last time i played it.. But that was months ago. Its most likely dead now. But i have them as ROMs, which is good. |
Nope, my Gol and Yellow r still going strong. I play Gold regually but not my yellow. And thier both pre owned- Gold by my older friend who's now 19 and Yellow by some guy off eBay.
|
All my internal batteries still work... my oldest game is a Blue edition from 1998 (I think), so you can think what quality it is. And yes, I played this edition excessively, still up to today. I wonder how long this battery will be operating.
I think of buying a new Red or Blue edition on amazon or elsewhere, so that I don´t have to kill that old one. |
I bought my Silver copy when it first came out and it's still going strong! I have another one from a friend which is also still running. I guess I'm just lucky, eh?
|
Red:No
Blue:No Yellow:No Gold: Yes Silver: Yes Crystal:No My Gold and Silver are so bad that I can barely turn them on. But other than that, all my games are fine. |
nope...I never had that. though I play a lot. oO
|
My Blue and Crystal's internal batteries have died, but not my Gold. I've had that one for 8 years so far and he's still going and going :P
|
My Crystal and Gold died, but Silver -- my favorite of GSC -- is still working.
|
I've had my Crystal now for... I don't know, years, got it when it was first released, and the battery hasn't died yet. Even though I play it a lot.
Makes me happy and sad at the same time, happy that it hasn't died yet and sad knowing that it will eventually. |
My Red, Gold, and Crystal still all work fine with their original battery.
|
I find this very interesting. Christmas 1998 I received Blue version. 101 hours logged over 10 years and the battery is still kicking. Sometime in 2001 I bought Silver. After about five years and maybe 50 hours the battery died. I bought a Red version from a friend when I was 12, but the battery in that was dead when I got it. I plan on replacing that soon...
|
nope.
my crystal has been doing fine all these years :) |
My Gold's still going strong afer fifty hours, and none of my game's except silver have run out of battery.
As for Silver? I got a used copy of it for my birthday. The internal battery was already dead. |
The battery on the Silver I bought late last year has died, but the yellow i got at the same time soldiers on! woo. I wonder how long for! :(
|
Gold died when I started it up yesterday :(
|
Man... I haven't checked my Blue in a long time. RBY can really die? =x
As for GSC, I bought them in this order: Gold, Crystal, and then Silver (I don't know why... XD). I checked them out like a month ago... Gold is dead, lol, the save file is gone. Crystal is still there, but I played Crystal more than Gold so I'm too afraid to touch it... XP I actually restarted a game in Silver at that time and started to get really attached to it but the whole internal battery thing frightened me... so I stopped playing it. ^^;; I don't know where you find those batteries... or who can replace them for me... ): Boo. |
Not that I know of.
I stopped playing my Gold riiight when I started hearing about this. |
My first game, Pokemon Yellow, died today... :(
In memory of Pokemon Yellow... Bought: February 11, 2003 Dried: April 25, 2009 A loving cartridge and a good game... P.S. = Well, go for Platinum! :) |
wow.. someone remade my old thread o_o
anyway.. I've had Silver die on me, and when I bought Gold, the battery was dead! :( but the nice guys and good ol' Gametraders repaired both of my games for a small fee of $10 per game :) And my Crystal is still running fine :) |
Both My Gold and Silver have died
but Yellow and Blue are still working |
My Memory Battery Conditions:
Blue - Working Yellow - Not Working Silver - Working Crystal - Working I have 2 GBC Gamesharks that each have a Save of my Crystal Data on them, so If My Crystal ever dies, I replace the Battery and upload my Data fromt he Gameshark to the cartridge so I have everything back again XD |
I am amazed that my yellow is still alive (i had it since it came out ^_^)
Silver and Gold are still alive as well ,i've had those since 2003 and i bought them used |
Silver-Good
Gold-Good Yellow-Good Red-Good And I've had them for a while, too. I'm surprised that they still work. |
Silver died, Gold still works, Crystal isn't dead but I can't save for some reason, so it may as well be.
|
My gold, silver, and crystal all refuse to save their data. I don't know if that means the batteries are dead, but I'm bummed cuz I can't play the best generation of pokemon games ever made =/
|
Yeah, my internal batteries for G/S/C all died almost 2 years ago. It was weird because they all died within the same couple months even though Crystal came out so much later than the first two versions.
|
Yellow, Blue, Red, Gold, Silver still work. But Crystal will not save. And Crystal is my favorite game too! :C |

|
thats completely untrue, ive had my silver for 10 years and its still running strong and ive played it so much its not even funny
|
My Silver is dead. *sad*. Although my Yellow has been going strong for what, 9 years? Also my Gold was working the last time i played. About... 6 or 7 months ago. Crap.
Erk, i'm terrified it'll be dead, so i'll leave it. My dead Silver is still in my drawer. I couldn't throw it away.. |
The last time I saw my copy of Crystal was a couple of years ago, and it worked just fine. :D
|
unless it died this past week, nope. I've had it since 02? not sure, but my friend gave it to me after my last silver version crashed cuz I spilled mountain dew on it. Yeah, soda kills...
|
My Silver currently still works...but I think it's starting to die
It asked me to reset the timer when I clicked continue the other night, but when I had the chance to change it, the clock and day were exactly right by default, so I set it and played for a bit, saved and it seems to be ok again. Are my fears true? Is my fave Pokemon game now beginning to pass away? |
Yes it has so I'm looking froward for the remakes.
|
My Gold version died out, but my Silver still works perfectly.
|
My beloved Crystal still SEEMS to be fine. Meh, I dunno
But it's still my fave game ever ^_^ - Ace_McPhail |
My first game was Red, it is LONG gone, but it never broke.
I don't have my Gold anymore, but last I saw it (around 4 years ago) it was working fine. Got my Yellow from a friend a few years ago, it never broke, but I ended up giving it back to her, so I don't have that anymore either. I re-bought Crystal, used, from Gamestop maybe a year or 2 ago, I still have it and it's running fine. |
My Crystal died. Damn.
from that onwards i start borrow friend's catridge to play lulz. |
My Silver died a while back, :(
but my Crystal is still in perfect working order. :) |
I own Gold, Silver and Crystal and none of my batteries have died yet :) I guess Im lucky!
|
My Silver Version still hasn't died after like 8+ years!
|
Awww... my Crystal =(
Too bad now just wait for HG and SS =) |
Well, none of my games had had their batterys die....but maybe thats because I dont play my G/S alot.
|
hmmm, I do know that spilling Mountain Dew will cause your game to restart, but the one that I have now works fine. I think it's been about 7 or 8 years
|
I don't really have any old old old games, so this has never happen to me x D
|
My Silver, and both my Crystal versions are dead. (I have no idea why I have two. One might be my brothers.) This makes me severly unhappy because I lent my Gold to a friend, and it works fine. :C
|
Blue is working after 2 years ;)
|
my crystal died which really ticked me off. My first silver died with my cursing lugia. I then bought a silver from gamestop and it and gold havent died.
|

D: Aw geez, I'm in the EXACT situation you're in. I've just realised my Silver and Crystal are busted yet gold is still going strong but I lent it to a friend too... Well I've researched how to fix this problem and found a few guides that seem humane enough, I haven't tried fixing mine yet but hopefully it could help here someone out: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15464 http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-replace-the-battery-in-a-pokemon-goldsilve/ By the sounds of it, I think it's best if you get a professional to do this as it sounds potentially disasterous for the game and even your fingers. |
Red and silver have died. Gold and Crystal work good though. ^_^
|
My gold and silver still run perfectly..
|
My Gold, Silver, and Crystal all haven't died yet.
Although I haven't played any of them in a long time. |
My Silver and Gold have both died now ._.'
And my friends in real life copies have all died too. It's saddd ;____; |
None of my Pokémon games have died yet. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. :P
|
Nope, not yet. My Gold is still working perfectly. c=
Buuut... I know it's bound to die out pretty soon. Any time, now. I'd go replace the battery right now, but it deletes your data and makes you start over, regardless of if it already died out on you. D; |
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY POOR LITTLE HONEY PIES ON CRYSTAL SILVER AND BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sigh: they are all gonna go to the big pokemon center in the sky....that's a good thing though.
|
I have all six games (RBY & GSC) and all of them are in perfect working order.
