1. A bridge adapted to supply direct current for sustaining a gaming machine's memory during a replacement of the gaming machine's battery supplying power to the gaming machine's memory storing a set of existing gaming settings for the gaming machine; the bridge comprising:
a) a circuit connected to a store of direct current and adapted to transport voltage from the store of direct current to the gaming machine's memory; the circuit further comprising:
i) a first pair of parallel LEDs determining the connectivity of the bridge to the gaming machine's memory, wherein a first configuration of lighting of the first pair of parallel LEDs indicates that the bridge is properly connected to the gaming machine;
ii) a plurality of resistors, first and second transistors/drivers and a second pair of LEDs; the plurality configured to identify when the store of direct current has less than 2.5 volts;
b) the store of direct current adapted to provide from about 2.5 volts to about 3.7 volts of temporary power to the gaming machine's memory, thereby preventing memory loss of the set of existing gaming settings of the gaming machine;
c) a manual switch allowing the direct current to flow from the store of direct current through the circuit to the gaming machine's memory;
d) a first connector connected to an output lead and the gaming machine's battery holder;
e) a second connector connected to a ground lead; and
f) a charging module comprising a charging port adapted to charge direct current to the store of direct current.
