    Just don't try to fix your Silver game before it's battery dies. If you remove the old one, you will erase your save file and lose your completed Pokedex.

    The only way I can think of to replace the battery without losing the game save would be to solder a 3 volt power source to the circuit card before removing the battery.
    Have an old pokemon cartridge laying around collecting dust?

    How fast can you beat the game?

    If your game can't save anymore, replace it's battery!

    That's what I meant, but it seems rather risky. I certainly wouldn't want to short out the board.

    Also, GBA games do in fact run on a lower voltage, so the battery in a GBA game will be drained more slowly than a GB(C) game. Of course, since most GBA games don't even have internal batteries...

    Hi all, I'm new here...

    Question: By using this method, and drilling a few small holes in the case, would it be possible to hook up an external power gauge for the battery? Perhaps even construct a re-charger?
