What happens with berries in RS when the battery is changed?

Sep. 3, 2022



I bought some copies of Gen 3 but the batteries are all dead. I plan on changing the battery, but I’m not sure how that will affect the berry growth. If I plant them now, will they grow after I change the battery? Should I leave the berries? Or would picking and holding onto them for later be the best option?

The RTC and the save data timestamp would be different, causing the berries not to grow because the RTC would be at 1/1/2000.

You can pick the berries if you want, that won’t affect anything, you just can’t grow more for a while after you pick them.

The only way for you to grow berries in this scenario is to replace the battery and then wait 5 days until your RTC catches up with your save data and updates it, allowing berries to be grown again.
