Pokémon Red Version – Nintendo Game Boy – Replaceable Battery Mod

For sale is a Pokémon Red Version cartridge for Nintendo Game Boy / Game Boy Color.

The cartridge has been modified with a replaceable battery holder, so when the save battery eventually runs out, you can simply remove the old battery and install a new one—no soldering required for future battery changes.

A brand-new CR1616 3V battery is already installed.

Details:

• Pokémon Red Version
• Original Nintendo cartridge/PCB
• Replaceable save-battery holder professionally installed
• Brand-new CR1616 battery included and installed
• Future battery replacements can be done without soldering
• Original grey cartridge shell and label

A practical upgrade for anyone who wants to play and save their game without having to solder in another battery years down the road.

Included: Pokémon Red cartridge only, exactly as pictured.

Why buy this one?
Yes, you may find cheaper Pokémon Red cartridges elsewhere, but many still have their original soldered save battery or an aging replacement. That means you may soon need to pay someone to open the cartridge, desolder the old battery, and solder in a new one — which can end up costing more than simply buying one that’s already been upgraded.

This cartridge has already had the work done. It features a replaceable battery holder with a brand-new CR1616 battery installed, so when the battery eventually dies, you can simply swap it yourself — no soldering and no repair costs.

Buy once, and future battery replacements are quick, cheap, and easy.
