I’m fixing up a Pokemon sapphire that was in very rough shape. I had to transplant all of its components to a replacement pcb as the original was badly corroded. Now I’m not receiving a dead battery warning despite not having one installed. I’m not too familiar with the RTC circuitry. Any help would be appreciated!

Most likely it needs a battery installed to complete a check for the battery, so no battery = no warning.

Can you wipe the save data or start a new game? I'm curious if you still don't get the warning. Dead battery should be the same as no battery and both should trigger the warning.
