Game Boy Cartridge Battery Capsule + Video

thingiverse

It's a simple PLA capsule, designed to house the internal battery of a GBA cartridge. This eliminates the need for insulating tape that can dirty the circuit with glue as it ages. The capsule works by applying pressure from both itself and the cartridge container. It prints easily and installs in just a few minutes. Removing the old battery might be the most challenging task, but it can be done carefully without any problems. This is an alternative solution when you're unable to find the right replacement part or don't have the skills to resolder and weld the terminals again. I hope this helps you. Trick: Each circuit board of the cartridge has a marking in the upper right corner, on the circumference of the battery, indicating the type of battery used. In this case, it's CR2025, but there may be other types such as CR1616 or CR2032. If that's the case, you'll need to adapt and test the design because these batteries have different dimensions.
