It could be a bootleg. They are known to have battery/save issues. You can check out Nintendo's anti-piracy site here.

One of the easiest ways to tell on GBA games is to look at where the game contacts are on the bottom of the cartridge. You should be able to see "Nintendo" written on the inside up toward the middle. Below are pictures with two examples. The top pictures for each game are the fakes, with the bottom pictures are the real games. Notice how on the green part near the gold connectors that it says "Nintendo AGB-####" on the real carts but not the fake.
Sik99, how do you open the carts to see if the cart is a fake?hydralisk86You don't have to open it to see that writing. You might need a flashlight to look up in there to be able to see it. The 70 or so legit GBA games I have all have the writing. The 5 fake games I ended up with off the Amazon marketplace don't.

Alright, good, that info will help me. I checked my copy of Metroid Fusion, and it does have those letters and numbers.
