Replacement Batteries for Pokemon G/S Carts
Hey guys! Forgive me if this is dumb/in the wrong area; looking to replace some batteries in Pokemon Gold and Silver carts. I can't seem to find anything but Ebay listings, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Is there anywhere else reliable to procure said batteries? Thanks!

You should be able to get those at electronics shops or a hobby store. They aren't an uncommon battery.
Is there a rating/size spec? I didn't realize they weren't a special battery. Thanks man!
If you need any help let me know man I have replaced a lot of them in my day.
I will, sir! I've got the tools etc. A friend has several copies of each version with bad batteries, and I want to help him out. I get access to a copy for hooking him up
You should always solder them back in place if you aren't using the ones the tabs. Tape is a pretty half ass way to do it.
Exactly what I think, but everyone who's sold me a game they said they replaced the battery has ALWAYS just used electrical tape to attatch a new one. Really anoying to have to buy the new battery, but I can't stand thinking the save could be lost because someone didn't want to do it properly.
So yeah, always use solder.

I have several sizes with solder tabs.

100% planned on soldering, dudes! I dug out my iron last night. My background and experience in electronics wouldn't allow me to "tape" or "wedge" anything in there. Do it right!
That is one way to lose your saves.
People tape it? hahahahaha!

Dude, it's way more common than you think lol. Soldering is easy and more secure. Tape is a joke.

I've seen tutorials online telling you to tape it too. It's ridiculous

Doesn't even make any sense hahahahaha!
You can get a nice little soldering iron and solder for under $20.... doesn't take much to learn how to solder either I learned when I was in public school because I had to fix my guitar.....
The jack kept twisting and breaking the damn wires off that go to the pickups.
