I just replaced all of the internal batteries in my NES/SNES collection. Everything went well, but something weird happened with a few of them. In most cases the save data was deleted after I took the battery out, but in a few games (Kirby's Adventure, StarTropics, Super Mario Kart, and F-1 ROC II) the save file somehow survived the battery change. In each case the RAM chips went a good 30 seconds or so without power while I swapped the battery out. How is it even possible for the save files to have survived this? Has this happened to anyone else?
