The thing is the tabs on those batteries are stamped on. Soldering may or may not stick to the generic battery surface, but I wouldn't know because I haven't tried. Irregardless, unless you're really skilled, the heat will probably severely damage the battery.
I was going to replace the battery in my Pokemon Silver cart, but haven't done so because I'm too timid. BUT since I work in an electronics plant, there's gotta be some cold solder material or SOMETHING lying around that I can steal. I will snoop around for you, but I'm off till Monday. Can you wait till then? I'm gonna try and solder my pokemon silver battery right now and see how it goes, I'll edit in a bit. Edit: Heh. Either I did a piss poor job soldering it and destroyed the copper trace, or the heat killed the battery. But it didn't work. Oh well. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I tried, quite unsuccessfully, to solder tabs onto generic batteries, more than once. Whatever metal, probly stainless, the body is made of just won't connect to the solder.
But I finally found a place that sells the batteries. They are apparently the same for all GB, GBC, and GBA carts. Fairly cheap as well. I'll probably buy a handful of them. BATTERY LITHIUM COIN 3V W/TAB - CR1616-1F2 or... BATTERY LITHIUM COIN 3V W, BATTERY LITHIUM COIN 3V 12 How ya doing, buddy? |
