    Hi all! So my Pokemon Emerald cart has a dead RTC battery. I want to replace it but I thought about something. The new battery would die someday so what about using a CR 1616 battery holder instead of soldering down new batteries every time? Does anyone know of one that would fit the board perfectly so no wires are needed?

    Any advice would be highly appreciated!

    I usually use tabbed CR2016 batteries on these, tight fit but longer life

    Have you seen the coin cell holders used in cheap products, super slim and just two folds of tab material.

    The cheap knock off go pro remote uses one
