 ==Battery life==
-Copies of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter timeframe than copies of the [[Generation I]] games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker.
+Cartridges of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter time frame than copies of other Pokémon games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker. A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly and the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen.
-The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind (a CR2025), or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer. Since it powers the save file, interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be lost. Third party devices such as the [[GameShark]] may offer ways to backup and restore the save file.
+The cartridge memory is powered by a {{wp|CR2025|CR2025}} or a {{wp|CR2032|CR2032}} battery. Since it powers the memory containing the save file, the battery running out or interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be erased and internal clock to be reset. External power sources and third party devices have been used to maintain or backup and restore the save file to and from an external memory or a personal computer.
-A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen).
