CR1616 Battery with solder tabs for Game Boy / Game Boy Color / Game Boy Advance

Return to your favorite childhood games without losing your save file! Many classic game cartridges use an internal CR1616 battery to power the save function (Save State) or real-time clock (RTC). Bring your cartridge’s save function back to life with this brand-new replacement battery!

This is exactly the right component for maintaining game cartridges:

• Pre-attached solder tabs: The battery comes ready-fitted with metal tabs/solder lugs, angled and positioned to fit directly onto the cartridge’s circuit board.

• Preserves your save files: Perfect for replacing depleted batteries in games where saving otherwise fails or your progress is erased when the console is turned off.

• Required for the real-time clock (RTC): Essential for time-based events, berry growth, and day/night cycles in titles such as Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to work as normal.

• Long-lasting: Fresh lithium cells with a stable 3V voltage ensure reliable saves for many years to come.

• Wide compatibility: Fits perfectly in a wide range of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges.

Note: Replacing the battery requires opening the cartridge (usually with a 3.8 mm Gamebit screwdriver) and desoldering the old battery.
