Dropping a subscribe. Your videos are indispensable when keeping these old machines alive. Very clear information, and your work shows that you know what you're doing.
100% what I do when I get a new mega cd 2 is replace the battery and caps. Replacing the caps is 100% needed on the mega cd 1. FRAM mod is nice but a hot air gun is required. Along with a multi region BIOS. The fuse also likes to pop, you can replace that with a self resettable fuse.
For the battery I use a socket, with wires and a ML2032 battery. Its hard to get the RF shield on after replacing the battery otherwise, with a socket.
Wow what a little project just to change the battery. At least the Saturn's had easy access. I don't have experience with the Sega CD but was curious, so here I am.
I was sad when my Saturn saves vanished, but at least it was easy to change.
The Sega CD's battery must last alot longer since its rechargeable. Which would explain why they didn't plan on people changing it.
My original Playstation memory card still works like new. Do those require a battery too? Whatever they did works much better. Would have been nice if these systems just used whatever Sony did. Though I'm not sure if they can keep the date and time.
I'll admit, there's probably an easier way. (I'm not an electronics expert.)
The battery didn't need to be replaced. I did it for the video. But considering it was 20 years old, I wanted to replace it before it died.
I don't think the PS1 memory cards use batteries. They're pretty thin, so I don't think there's room. The PS1 also came out around the time that non-volitile RAM was becoming affordable. It probably uses that.
@@HexedPedestrian awesome.
noticed my battery doesnt hold a save like it used to... guess it's time to do this myself :(
If that poor lid switch is alive is a miracle
I got a battery holder installed instead so no soldering is needed in the future
Can I ask what battery holder you purchased and where? I can find the batteries fine, but I can't tell if the holders I'm looking are the right ones.
My saved games are vanishing after a few days of having the system off and I'm afraid I might need a new battery. Only problem is I'm not at all familiar with soldering. Any suggestions on how I might get some practice in before trying an operation like this? Test kits or something? Sega CDs seem to be somewhat expensive so I'd rather not brick the whole thing.
I've not bought any of these, but these are what I'd buy to teach someone.

You can pick up a solder pencil at a hardware store or Amazon.
Thanks very much for the info! Great content, btw, very unique and well done.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
i did this but i put in a small battery holder on the board and installed a larger cr2032 battery vs the smaller cr2016. now if it dies again all i do is replace the battery
Hey I know this is pretty old, but what battery holder did you use? I can't find one that has 2 positive leads like the original save battery, but does that even matter?
@@Luke4409 it doesn't really matter. as lon as its connecting to one of them its fine.
@@lightwavemusic617 do you happen to know if the sega cd actually charges the battery that's installed? I'm not able to find any info about it. They came stock with a rechargeable battery and I know you have to use a rechargeable battery for the clock battery in a Dreamcast because the Dreamcast actually charges the battery while the system is on and if you use a non-recharegable battery it can burst and cause all sorts of issues. I just don't want to have the Sega CD try to recharge a non-rechargeable battery and have it burst.
Yes, it does charge the battery.
@@HexedPedestrian Thanks for the reply! I will make sure I stick with rechargeables so I don't end up with a leaky battery inside my system.
I didn't think CD's had batteries
+Toby Sterling Sega's did.
