This 2-pack of CR2032 lithium button cells offers a simple and effective way to restore the console’s real-time clock so it retains its settings while powered off.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOTE: Your console must be modified with a coin battery holder mod to use these battery cells in your dreamcast.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nDreamcast consoles originally used a rechargeable ML-type cell. To safely use standard CR2032 batteries, you must have a battery-holder mod or compatible non-rechargeable setup installed. These replacement cells are intended for consoles that have already been modified to accept CR2032 batteries.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nA fresh battery is recommended if the system loses its date\/time, the original cell has leaked, or voltage drops below stable retention levels. This pack provides two new non-rechargeable cells for long-term reliability.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eFurther Info:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eCR2032 3V lithium non-rechargeable button cells\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eQuantity: 2 batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires Dreamcast battery-holder mod for safe use\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eNot a direct drop-in replacement for the original rechargeable battery\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eStore unused batteries in a cool, dry place\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eFAQ:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: My Dreamcast asks for the clock every time I turn it on. Will these batteries fix that?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nYes — this usually means the internal clock battery has died. If your console has a CR2032 holder mod installed, replacing the old cell with a fresh one will restore date\/time retention.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Do I need a battery holder or modification?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nYes. The Dreamcast’s original rechargeable cell is not directly compatible with standard CR2032 batteries. You must have a CR2032 holder modor or equivalent installed first.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does this include the holder or mod?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNo — this listing provides the battery cells only.
