Warning: Proceed at your own risk and be careful when doing any repairs.
Since a number of retro video games (original Game Boy, GBC, NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis) relied on a small lithium battery to save games, those batteries go bad over time and need to be replaced. This tutorial shows an easy method of replacing the battery in a Pokemon Gold cartridge, but it can also be used on a Pokemon Silver, Crystal, Blue, Red, Yellow, Zelda games, or even games with batteries from other retro gaming systems.
FAQ
Q: Why can't I save my game on my old Pokémon Game Boy Color cartridge?
A: Before game systems saved games on flash memory and hard drives, games relied on lithium batteries to maintain saved games. Unfortunately, when that battery dies, so does the saved game. It's sort of like taking the battery out of your watch. Once the battery is gone, the watch loses the time.
Q: My cartridge lets me save the game, but when I turn it on later the saved game is gone. Is my battery dead?
A: Yes, without a working battery, the game will attempt to save and then lose the saved game data after you power off your Game Boy. Bummer, huh?!
Q: Which Pokémon games does this repair method address?
A: We've used it to repair Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, Red Version, Blue Version, and Yellow Version (Special Pikachu Edition). It'll also work for GBA versions too!
Q: My battery is dead. Will replacing it restore my saved game?
A: Unfortunately, when the battery dies, your saved game files are lost.
Q: My battery is old but still working, is there any way to switch the battery without losing the game save?
A: When you remove the battery, your saved game will be lost. If you're thinking about putting in a fresh battery, you should back up your saved game to a device like a Mega Memory Card.
Q: What size battery do I need?
A: Most likely, if you're replacing a battery for a Pokemon Game Boy Color cartridge, you'll need a CR2025 Lithium battery. However, some cartridges originally used a CR2016. When you remove the existing battery, you can check its labeling or for battery size information stamped on the board next to the battery.

Thank you so much for this video. It was tricky to get the brackets off, and I can see how easy they would be to break. My only tip for others is to try and hold the tab down where the bit of soldering is to help prevent breakage. That worked for me. Here's to another 15 years of Pokemon Gold!

Thank you so much for making this easy-to-follow and understand video. I recently bought Gold and Silver from a friend who didn't mention that the saves wouldn't hold. After research, your method was the simplest and most affordable to do with the best results, especially for those who cannot solder that well like myself. The saves now hold and I'm only out $6 for the pair of batteries. KUDOS!

What a lifesaver! I was so upset when a ton of "work" I did on my Pokemon Silver game was completely gone. Some friends told me it was a battery issue so I opened up the game to see what I could see and found a big problem (Battery that doesn't come out). So I thought, I'm sure someone on RU-vid has a repair video. This one was not only helpful but also interesting. You guys are great. Now I feel confident I can fix my game as soon as I get the right battery for it!

Pretty cool thanks for the tutorial. I had to replace the battery in my gameboy advances (I have the old school non flip one) Pokemon Gold cartridge a few years back... wasnt difficult luckily I even soldiered the battery in. I was lucky enough to find some exact battery replacements with the prongs attached. Only bad thing was they were a bit expensive cause I had to buy 6 or 8 of them and shipping lithium batteries is expensive due to the fire hazard from the explosive/volatile nature of lithium batteries. Kind of a fun project though lol I felt hella accomplished and smart when I got done even though it wasnt that difficult.

NOTE: You can use any 3V round battery in these types of games. I personally use CR2032 for the longer lifespan. These are a bit thicker and the cover for the game is a bit of a tighter fit, but is fine to use.

Just an FYI for everyone. You are able to purchase conductive "glue", also known as " wire glue" that can be used to re-attach a broken bracket if don't have soldering equipment or otherwise just don't know how to solder. It is relatively cheap and effective for small electronic repair such as this.

Don't worry. I've fixed my Gold version (albeit using scotch tape, which is wrong) and I'm no technician. I followed my gut feeling: Don't touch the circuitboard too much, don't scratch the circuitboard, don't rip the battery open. I don't know how protected the battery is from being impaled by a screwdriver, I just played it safe.

For people who don't have the security bit light the end of a pen(with everything removed of course) until the plastic is melted 2-3 cm down. Place on the screw for a minute to cool and so it molds around the screw, then twist counter clockwise. It may leave a minor circlular mark(color slightly faded not black burnt) but it's a nice make shift. You may have to repeat when putting the screw back in.

Thank you so much, this has worked perfectly! I found the solder points very hard to break off and was terrified that id damaged them too much but it works perfectly! Thank you!!!!!!!

Thank you very much VideoGameMuseumCom! My Silver Version has been "Out of Commission" for about 7 years. I feel so happy that it can save again! The part that was most difficult for me was the bottom piece attached to the old battery, I was so nervous I thought I was going to break the metal... But luckily I didn't! Thanks again!!!

Popping in to say it worked great for my Gold version! Just gotta be gentle with the tabs and not scratching anything! Thank you so much cause I don't know how to solder. My cart was for personal enjoyment anyway 👍.

Awesome! I used electrical tape instead of solder and it's working out great so far! Thanks!

It definitely beats the frustration of trying to use needle-nose pliers XD. Great video by the way! Very informative and formal. The camera is angled well and on a stand, and your voice isn't too close to the mic :) Now I can save on my pokemon silver again.

I recently found my copy of gold and was sad that my old save was gone. So the battery ran out. So I tried this method and it didn't work the 2 times I tried. Then the 3 time, it worked. Trial and error. Thanks so much! Now I can play my gold again.
