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! These include Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions. Q: Did I see a FireRed GBA cart in the video? A: Yeah, we accidentally showed a Pokémon FireRed cart in the video, but it actually doesn't use a battery. Ha ha, that cartridge looks so much like Ruby at first glance that we mixed them up during filming. 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. Q: What can I do if I don't know how to solder? A: If you'd prefer a method that doesn't involve soldering, check our solderless repair video:    • How to Replace Battery in Pokemon Gold for...   Still have questions?
