CPS3 Battery replacement.. Best method?

[thegreathopper]

I was wondering what people who have replaced CPS3 batteries think is the best method.


1. I have read of someone who has replaced the lithium battery with the game running.
2. The other option I know is to solder on a helper battery to hold the voltage while you replace the battery.
3. Get a Japanese arcade to post the cart to Capcom.
4. ?? are there any other reliable methods?

I am going to be the owner of a couple of CPS3 games soon and I would like to replace the batteries sooner rather than later..

Thanks for your time.....

I would advise using the helper battery as its not like CPS2 where the battery can be off the PCB and the data will last some time.
