Superchis troubles - won’t start

Hi everyone I recently just got a Superchis Prime off Ali express (chisfamily) to use with a GBA SP

I bought a 32gb Sandisk SD card which I believe is legit.

I followed this YouTube guide and all of it seemed to go smoothly but please point out updated issues (not trying to recommend) https://youtu.be/cVCSRRvl7Is?si=XjUKLzXmY7hR30hx

I’ve updated the superFW firmware to Version 0.20 and then downloaded Pokémon fire red and a few other games off a random ROM site.

Played Pokémon perfectly for about 20 minutes before the system just shutdown. When trying to restart it the battery light would flicker but nothing afterwards.

If I put in a normal game it works fine and once I put the Superchis back in it might start up but if I press something it’ll turn off.

I’ve tried deleting the other roms and changing the settings to no avail.

It does appear the battery is low (red indicator) and it’s the og one so I’ve ordered a new battery which is hopefully the issue. I’ve read these carts draw more power and can’t start without juice??

Hopefully getting ahead of myself with the battery idea but does anything else standout as an issue?

Any help appreciated thanks.
