| − | '''SRAM''', in the context of Sonic hacking, stands for Saved [[RAM]]. Also known as "battery". This is usually small - about a [[byte|kilobyte]]. As the name "battery" implies, SRAM must have power constantly running through it, or it will be erased, and the smaller it is, the longer it will last. A typical battery lasts around a hundred years, so there is no need to worry about them running out.
