SNES Save battery replacement suggestions?
wiggy:
What I had been doing was pulling the tabs from the original battery (while keeping them soldered to the board) and then soldering those tabs to the clip itself. All my drivers are at work right now, so I can't take one apart and show you until I'm there again, but it's not too tricky at all.

https://dx.com/p/battery-holder-for-cr2032-coin-cell-brown-5-pcs-156999 << those are still available and have free shipping to where I live... can anyone confirm these work?
someone in the comments says they do, but I want to make sure since it'll probably be like a month before they arrive in the mail... :)

Those are what I use, I order from DX myself, and that is actually my review talking about snes/genesis =P

That's pretty much what I figured. I can't seem to find the exact clip you used though.
Snesguy - Thanks. Looks like those will be the ones I'll use then. There's a pretty good guide on the interwebz on how to do those as well.

Ordered 20 of the battery holders, so I can fix up some potential future purchases as well. Let's hope I don't destroy any of my carts :D

Don't stress about it. Most any clip can be made to work with a little patience and a Dremel ;)
