My PS2's internal clock battery whatever thing must have died or something because the PS2 can't keep time anymore.

I was wondering how expensive would it be to replace the battery, and how difficult it would be. There are used PS2s on Amazon for only $40 so if if replacing this battery is going to cost $20-$30 plus a strong chance of messing up, I'll just buy a new PS2.

oh also forgot to note that google wasn't really helpful.

I'm just going to buy a new PS2. It seems like from what I can gather the PS2 clock battery is proprietary so I wouldn't be able to get a replacement one for cheap. Salvage PS2s are like $30 and I can get a working one for $40 so why even bother. Plus, this PS2 still works perfectly fine, so I could probably sell it on craigslist for $40 anyways.

Looks like a CR2032 in a plastic case with a pigtail and plug. If that costs you more than a couple of bucks, buy a CR2032, cut the pigtail of the old battery and attach to the new. Wrap in elect. tape and stuff in.

Why not just leave it as is? It's not like you need the clock for anything.
