This video covers how to replace a failing/dead battery in a Sega Dreamcast with a new rechargeable ML2032, which I did to fix the clock reset on every boot.

You need an ML2032 battery, a battery holder (the type with 3 pins), soldering iron, desoldering iron or pump, and some screwdrivers. Once you've replaced the battery with the new holder, if it fails again in 20 or so years, it will be a simple swap!

Important: ML2032, not CR2032! Without a mod, a non-rechargeable battery will damage your console, so make sure its an ML2032. There are listings specific to Dreamcast on eBay if in doubt.
