Zelda II Battery swap part two. Sucess!

Soldered everything together, put in the battery and gave it a quick test. Worked great. I'll probably buy another copy anyway just because of the giant chunk of plastic that's missing. But it was cool fixing it anyway.

I wonder why nintendo didn't make it like that to begin with. I once read in gamepro that they could go out after only 5 years. It seems that a easy battery change would be a no brainer.

@zacthebold Well Nintendo wasn't thinking 20 years down the line lol. But the easy swap battery holder is cheaper than say a rechargable battery but Nintendo probably didn't want to cough up that kind of money for something that wouldn't be a problem for 15 - 25 years lol. I've replaced a few other batteries and have had enough room to solder the holder straight to the board I believe I have a video of that up if you're interested.

the battery holder is SUCH a brilliant idea! i've ordered myself a super nintendo, and i have to replace any batteries on those games, i will be doing this FOR SURE.

just got to hunt some down at one of my local stores. when the time comes that is.

@KuR0s3N I was screwing around with some other NES carts and the battery holder can be soldered directly to the board.

What kind of wires did you use?

I wanted to do this, but want to make it right.

WHERE IS PART I

The battery in my both my NES Zelda games still work. Now I know how to replace the battery. Thank you for putting together this video.

Great video, I've been doing this for a while and it successfully worked on all my SNES games. But your idea to use wires will work great with my NES games (which have new batterys but the cell is too big to close the cart). Where did you get those wires? Can you buy them? And what exactly are they called?
