The batteries in old cartridges are easily replacable, they’re just regular watch or hearing-aid type batteries. At most over time you’ll lose your existing save.

EDIT: Well, they do need soldering, but still.

The battery can be replaced but, from personal experience, you'll lose all of your save data. My "101% DKC" save and my " Every character is level ⭐⭐" save in Chrono Trigger are evidence of that.

This is sadly true, if you take the power off of the memory chip it loses it’s data.

But, over the years I’ve lost way more save data on my PC’s than I ever lost them on cartridges.
