Where do I find these cartridge batteries? Anyone has a link to a site that sell those cartridge 2025/2032 batteries that have the metal plates stapled to the battery. Like those: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Save-Bat...312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ebd29230 I have some GB and SNES games in need of battery replacement, but I want to replace in the proper way, no soldering to the new battery or putting a battery holder inside. I want to replace to look like an original one. Anyone know a site that ships worldwide?
The sites that I trust/that I use often are Kitsch-Bent and Nonfinite Electronics. Both dedicated Nintendo modding stores. They do sell the batteries as you describe and ship worldwide.
There must be some sort of horizontal holding solution that would at least work for larger carts. I tried to solder a 2032 into Pokemon Sapphire and it somehow destroyed the cart when reassembled. Just a smidge too large a battery...
This one have a different mount layout, must be the same as the one I posted, but thanks for the help
Try contacting GameDoctorHK, he might be able to source you some. He pretty much finds everything for me.
One piece of advice: don't get desperate and try to solder tabs onto them by hand. I did this once; a small flame shot out of the side and took every electron with it.
It just depends on the size that you need, but RS has a lot to choose from and they deliver to Brazil http://int.rsdelivers.com/catalogue/category/coin-button-rechargeable-batteries/3831.aspx Just bend the bottom pin straight. or get http://int.rsdelivers.com/product/v...ry-lithium-coin-30v-17mah-ml1220/7020767.aspx
Any large electronics distributor. I've made a post before listing them, so search it out ;-) Basically, anyone in the Farnell Group, Digi-Key etc.
I just realized I've read something about this before: http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=2518 If you've got the cajones you can use that technique to weld the tabs yourself. Sounds a bit explosivey with the word 'weld' but it looks safe.
