How to install a CR1616 Battery Holder in your Game Boy or Game Boy Color Game Carts 

This video shows how to install a CR1616 Battery Holder into Game Boy & Game Boy Color game carts that require a save battery. The advantage to using a battery holder is that you only need to solder once and then when the battery needs to be replaced you just remove the old battery and install a new battery. Additionally it allows people to use any battery they choose, so you are not stuck using cheap CR1616 tab battery that don't last.
