    Default pokemon battery

    hi, we are an amsterdam based vintage videogames shop, and we have a question about a problem we often have.
    a lot of pokemon cartridges for the classic gameboy have battery faillure.
    we tried to get them out, and replace them, but we can't get them out!
    they seem to be welded, and not solded(which would be easier).
    a dummy faq would be great, we are not too technical
    please help!!!

    kind regards,
    dave

    You just have to pry them off and solder a replacement on. It's as simple as that.

    I replaced my Pokemon battery a couple weeks ago. I just pried it out and then put a new one in and bombarded it with electrical tape. No problems yet.

    One solution is to replace the entire assembly with one that will easily allow a new battery to be inserted or removed.
    Rarest games in collection: (R8) Chavez II for SNES / (R7) Star Gunner (Telesys) for Atari 2600
    Game Collection -- Game Commercials -- Favorite Game: Secret of Mana

    That's also the best solution.
