SNES Game Cartridge save game battery life There are various titles that have internal batteries within the cartridge and I have been curious when it comes to the battery's life. Do any of you collectors here at DP know how long they last? I think it's around years tops, though all my games have been going strong so far. Also, Just a guess here, but it might also depends on how often you use the actual game?
Tradegamesnow and GameTZ feedback. I have thought about that too, do the batteries drain even when you shelve the game or only when it is used? Support Medical Marijuana.
Play it Emily. They charge themselves. I don't believe they charge themselves when you play them. Your saves will stay forever, granted you keep the same cart plugged in and keep the SNES plugged in, even after the battery dies. For the bottom connection, cut the first connection the same way you did the first. Each game is soldered differently, so make your best judgement call. Either solder the New battery back on if you know how or tape it into place.
To tape it, take a 2 inch piece of tape and place it under the bottom connector. Place the battery in between the two connectors and wrap the tape around it as tight as possible. Turn the board back over battery-side down replace it into the back cover of the cart. Place the front cover of the cart over this.
Remember the hooks that slide into the back cover? Replace the 2 hexagon bolts. If the board still rattles, you might need to tighten the bolts down a bit more. Pop the game into your SNES, play long enough to save. Turn the machine off, take the game out and throw it around. This is just to test how secure your battery is in there. If you plug it back in and still have your save, congrats. Chances are, your battery is secure for the next 10 years. Retro Gaming.

Is it solder intended for plumbing, like for putting copper pipe fittings together? I dunno. I stand by what I said initially. The proof is in actually trying to solder stuff with it.

In its original context, it was bureaucratic boilerplate, on the topic of fuel mileage estimates. The meaning of YMMV has been generalized since then, so it now works for a wide variety of conversational circumstances, especially for discussions about howtos, or plans, or recipes, especially in regard to the question of substitutions in those recipes.
You can substitute your thing, in place of the thing specified by the recipe, and I think that will work, but at the same time, I will not promise that it will work, or that it will work as well as , the thing specified by the recipe.
Thanks for the instructions! Used them to make a video. After seeing so many people solder the battery directly, it's nice to see someone use their brains and put a battery holder Good job! Congratulations on your first Instructable! You should mention it on the Rewards for New Authors page! Did you make this project? It's kind of strange to see an entire, mythical video game world reduced to a little hunk of plastic and metal. Flip over the game's board and you can see the battery on the top left.
A Link to the Past was first released in , so I'm guessing the printed on the original battery is its expected lifespan or expiration date. Two metal terminals sandwich the battery orange and blue arrows. The battery is physically attached to only the top one, with either two or four bits of glue or solder, depending on the game. The goal then is to release the battery without bending or breaking the flimsy terminals.
If you have the gear and know-how to solder, buying a battery with the terminal already attached and replacing it on the board it probably an easier route. But I wouldn't suggest buying a soldering kit just to replace a game battery, as it's pretty easy to do otherwise. Basically, you're just going to stick that razor in between the terminal and battery and saw them apart. Before you pop it off, note or mark on the battery which side was up.
We'd heard that heating up the blade might help, and it sorta-kinda did. You don't want to get it too hot though, as you won't be able to hold it and you definitely don't want to risk overheating or puncturing the battery. Also, make sure the blade stays clean. Another disclaimer: Don't cut towards yourself with a brand-new razor. That said, you'll need to hold and support the terminal while sawing, as it's fragile.
Gloves might help, but an X-Acto is probably a more precise choice.
