How to Replace a Dead SNES Battery

Jul. 2 6:08 PM by Lynxara

There's nothing worse than dropping money on a vintage RPG and finding out that you've gotten a copy with a dead battery. What's the point of even playing if you can't save your progress? I used to write this misadventures off as wasted cash, but I might not anymore. Check out this handy video from JJ Games that walks you through the process of replacing a dead SNES game's battery with a new one. This opens up a way to get hold of physical copies of 16-bit RPGs at much lower prices than might otherwise. Just buy your Earthbound or Chrono Trigger with a dead battery for next to nothing, and then replace it yourself.

Cool. I think I know someone who could put this to good use. ^^

 

Interesting. So that battery should work on all Gameboy games also, at least thats what it sounded like.
