Gamecube Memory Cards Life Span

It's getting to that time where cartridge based hardware such as Nintendo Gameboy cartridges are losing their saved data due to the internal batteries dying.

I was wondering if this applies to Gamecube memory cards too?

I have an Animal Crossing save where I managed to collect all the NES games and I really don't want to lose it.


A GameCube memory card is nothing more than a modified SD card in nature. There is no battery built in, so it will not expire in a similar manner to old cartridge games.
