Gamecube Clock Battery Replacement
Service for the internal clock battery in your Game Cube console.
What clock battery does a Gamecube use?
CR2032 with solder pins
The GameCube has an internal battery that keeps the clock running even when the system is powered off. If this battery is weak or dead, the date and time is likely to have issues and prompt you to change it.
The battery is located just behind the controller ports and direcrtly soldered in. Replacing this battery requires desoldering the leads, removing the old battery, and then resoldering the new CR2032 battery in its place. It's not a difficult job, but if it's too much for you to do simply send in your console and we can do it for you.
Options:
- Replace the battery with a factory fit CR2032 with solder tabs
- Install a battery holder so you can swap the battery out anytime you like with a common CR2032 coin (no soldering)
