2nd Gen Has your internal battery died yet?

Not open for further replies.
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...:(
 
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 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.​

They do run on the DS clock. (Mightily useful when you're trying to catch something that only comes out at morning/day/night. <.<) But they have to save and everything...
 
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.
 
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.
