Quick question. I need to replace the internal battery in my Dreamcast. Which battery do I need to get? Someone told me it needs to be an LR2023 which I can't find anywhere. Can't I just use a CR2025?

Atari: 2600, Jaguar
Microsoft: XBox, XBox 360
Nintendo: NES, GB, GBC, SNES, N64, GameCube, GBA SP, Wii, New 3DS, Wii U
Sega: SMS, Genesis, Game Gear, Nomad, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast
Sony: PS1, PS2, PS3
Wanted: 7800, Neo Geo CD
It's some silly rechargeable design so a CR2025 wouldn't work and could possibly leak.
I've been meaning to do this for a while, I even chopped up an old TV remote so that I could have an easy to replace battery tray:

The type of battery is called a ML2032 which is a rechargeable coin cell. People do either replace the battery with a new one with tabs, a coin cell battery holder like in these instructions:

Or with rechargeable AA or AAA's with a holder like b1aCkDeA7h linked.

Couldn't you install a diode so a normal coin cell be used?
Don't go away mad....just go away!
