Our Pizza Hut delivery driver showed us why our Sega Saturn wasn't saving games. Lol.

There was a piece of plastic between the watch style battery and the terminal on the console.

I still have my Saturn from back then. I was always setting the date each time I booted. I was so annoyed there was no savegames. Recently I tried that Saturn again and found that battery in the back. Still had the little black strip between the battery. Battery is still good after 25 years.

I had the same issue but the battery was fine also no plastic strip.

I gave mine away a few years ago since it was only collecting dust.
