Step 1

Gather the required materials:





Step 2

Remove the screw from the back of the cartridge with a tri-wing screwdriver:





Step 3

Gently open the cartridge by sliding the front down and then lifting it up:





Step 4

Gently pry the top 'prong' from the top of the battery with a small flathead screwdriver:





Step 5

Bend the bottom 'prong' upright and repeat step 4 to remove it from the bottom of the battery:





Step 6

Grab your new battery and remove it from the packet (old one can be disposed of now):





Step 7

Cut a small length of electrical tape (colour doesn't matter, but make sure it is indeed electrical tape. Other tapes can leave a sticky residue):





Step 8

The width of the tape may need to be trimmed to fit:





Step 9

Slide the tape UNDERNEATH the bottom prong and then set the new battery on top (negative side up):





Step 10

Bend the top prong back down over the top of the battery:





Step 11

Wrap the tape around to cover the top and press down firmly to ensure it sticks to the top prong and battery (the battery may still feel a little bit loose, but that's ok, the cartridge will hold it in place):





Step 12

Set the front of the cartridge into the little slots and slide it up to put it back on (reverse of how you removed it. It may seem a little bit tight because of the tape, but it will close):





Step 13

Screw the screw back into the back of the cartridge to keep it from opening:





Step 14

Pop into your GBA to test:
