Pokemon Blue Cartridge battery?

I have a Pokemon blue cartridge for the original gameboy which I was playing on my gameboy color the past few days there, however I went to play it this morning and noticed my save deleted.

I had saved it a few times over the past few days and it was fine those times. I'm aware of the battery problem on cartridge games but did mine literally just run out of current today or is there something else at play here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a dead battery to me. I still don't fully understand how my Blue's battery has managed to last this long.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

no, you're on the right track. It seems the internal battery that keeps the save has died. Best bet would be to replace it.

Yeah it seems like a dead battery, just replaced one in my friend's Gold a few days ago. The Gen 1 Pokémon games don't use the battery for many features like Gen 2 and Gen 3 games do, that's why it lasts so long. All of my Gen 1 games still work, while I fixed 2 Gen 2 games and 4 Gen 3 games.

I believe the battery is a CR2025. Also a cool trick I saw on instructables is to take an empty pen case and heat it up so that it's melting blow out any flames that may be on itand put it onto the screw and let it cool to get a custom screwdriver for it.

I had a hellish time when I replaced the battery in my silver.. I replaced the battery without the save being deleted.. imagine the pain.

How did you manage that? Did you connect a power supply to the terminals while you replaced the battery? seems like it would be difficult.

Losing your save is worse. Basically, yeh.
