Replacing GBC Cart Battery (lemmy.world)

Hey All,

So I haven't soldered in over 10 years but just recently I dug out my old GB/GBC/GBA games and I found a number of them have dead batteries so all of my saves are gone for those games. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm bought all the stuff I need to replace the batteries but the batteries themselves. Does anyone have a good place to get tabbed batteries? I was going to get them from amazon but wanted to see if there was a better place. I think most of the games I need to replace are CR2025's but there may be a few CR1616's too.

Hopefully this is the right community to ask this in.

Thanks!
