Tonight, 3 battery swaps, all 100% successes. Best of all, Double Impact was a 3 wire cartridge. Thanks to the help of MKL, it became a 4 wire cartridge (re-routed the ground wire). All swaps were a total success. Now JoJo2, Warzard and Double Impact will live for a long time :)

Anyone need some batterys swapped? $25 + return shipping; includes the price of a new battery :)

Whats the life expectancy on the carts now?

Since they are li-ion would they charge themselves when the game is plugged in?

6 Years is the expected life of a cart with a new battery. I don't trust them more than 2-3 years tho. I get really paranoid about the batterys dying on me.

whats the warranty on these...esp 3s

Dude this isn't walmart LOL

I dunno I guess no warranty is expressed or implied. Its a do at your own risk type of thing. I haven't killed a cartridge yet (knock on wood) while replacing the battery, so I dunno. I'll hook it up if anyone wants it done, just offering.

Billd420,

Tried to send you a PM, but your box is full. I'd like to have the battery swapped on a CPS III SF III: NG. Please PM me. Thanks.
