I did not get the battery pictured on the product page. The ones I got had thicker tabs and were not branded (Packaging said Made in China, instead of the apparently Japanese ones from the picture). They were working fine but I explicitly got them from this shop because I needed the thin tabs. So, I feel this product listing is somewhat misleading. Maybe the shop doesn't carry the batteries in the picture anymore or switched manufacturers, in which case the product page should probably be updated.

I've ordered the batteries solely to replace a dead one in my Pokemon Emerald game on GBA.
As far as the quality of batteries can be reviewed, it's a good one. The only gripe I have with it is that the tabs are quite short, at least they were for Pokemon Emerald. For that game, the battery is placed over a chip, and so the tabs need to be slightly bent (making sure not to break them) and even after doing that, the tabs only go through half the solder joint, since they're so small. So you'll have to be quite precise when soldering them, making sure to leave enough tab length on each side for the solder to catch it properly.

Worked perfectly in my copy of oracle of ages. Saves are working again.

I have given these batteries specifically a 5/5 star rating. Personally, I think the price was very slightly too much; however, with the CR1616 batteries on ZedLabz you receive two batteries so the price comes to quite a nice total.
I had 6 Pokémon games that I needed to replace the batteries in and so I ordered 5 packs in order to have 10 batteries total (6, plus some backups). They arrived very quickly, and were exactly as stated on the website (2 CR1616s with solder tabs, for GameBoy Advance cartridges, etc). I personally don't know how to solder so I asked my Dad to do it for me and we followed a tutorial: https://youtu.be/UOEhunvcRv0 . All 6 of my games are now working again AND the save data is still intact. The save data should only be erased if you are replacing the battery of Crystal, Gold or Silver but they use a CR2026 I think so it is a different battery anyway. The soldering tabs on the battery do need to be bent slightly so they can contact the correct areas of the circuit board but that's also included in the video tutorial I linked before.
All in all, this purchase was worth the price. You get 2 batteries which allows you to either fix 1 game and have a backup in case you make a mistake, or you can fix 2 games which is very cost-efficient. The delivery was very quick and easy and I'd recommend this website to anyone who wants to fix games such as; Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald, Boktai, etc.
