Back in the Nintendo era we picked up a copy of Final Fantasy I when the local rental shop went out of business... The battery in it was 100% dead. So my brother would just leave the Nintendo on.

I don't think I've had a console affected by this though.

Recently I had an Evercade cart die. It was the flash memory that gave up, though. Not the battery.

    I remember I had NHL 95 on the Genesis brand new and could never figure out why it would never save my season. Years later I realized "damn battery was dead, why didn't I just return it?" still played the hell out of the game though.
