I know that this isn't a new mod or anything, but I just took pictures of the process along the way anyway. After desoldering the old battery, you can put in the battery holder. It's just a slight bit to wide, so you'll have to bend the tabs inwards. Just solder it in afterwards! And that's basically it. Put in a new battery and never worry about the systems clock anymore :)

Thanks man! Just got a new temperature controlled iron that made the job a whole lot easier. Still have to practice quite a bit though.

Neat. I did this to my copy of Pokémon yellow. Convenient mod.

Yeah, it's a great mod for the many consoles/cartridges that are affected. But it seems like there isn't enough space for something like this in GBA cards. Unfortunate, I love the GBA.

The battery in my copy of Gold is held in with a piece of a sticky note and Scotch tape
