It always seems to be Silver, I've got two copys that I have replaced to battery and they're flat again. I'll stick with Gold ;) A good method if you've got the coin cells lying about, I'd still be tempted to solder some tabs to the battery just in case though.

You Cant Soldier A Battery

[Joe Martin]

You can! haha In electronics I used to solder together AAs to make battery packs. Takes a bit of practice but it's pretty simple when you've learned how

you should make an instructable, that sounds like something worth knowing.

I've done it - but without a heatsink on the battery you risk a lithium fire :S

Oh, Sorry

argh, Pokemon yellow uses cr-1616, I CAN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE!!

try ordering online

Also, it's not hard to find tabbed 2032 batteries, and these you can directly solder back to the cartridge. Good ible!

I Realized That, I rushed a little and had lack of resources
