 ==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 storing both saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker. 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; doing so will delete the current save file in case it hasn't been erased already by the discharge of the battery.

You can use a cheating device such as a Game Shark to create a backup of the save file, and then dump it back onto the cartridge after replacing the battery.
 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).
