    My GB stopped keeping time but all the settings and scores were not impacted. Pulled the battery and measured with my meter - dead as a door nail. New battery and clock is keeping time again.

    This confirms (for me at least) that all the battery does is keep the clock running on Spike systems.

    Also, Spike uses a 2032 battery (very common) while SAM uses a 2430 (slightly larger).
