Rechargeable Replacement Battery Pack For Nintendo DS Lite

My Nintendo DS Lite is alive again! Woo-hoo. This item is perfect and works well as advertised. It's funny because I took my DS to a local Gamestop retailer and I was advised that my DS was basically goner and there is no possibility of replacing the battery. Luckily my fiance is Tech Savvy and talked me into purchasing this replacement battery pack. Best thing I've done!I've recently purchased the Nintendo 3DS XL as a replacement thinking my DS lite was completely done for. This DS lite is now in the care of my sister who is enjoying her mint condition DS lite with new batteries :)

I've had my DS Lite since the unit was released, and my daughter and I have logged many hours on it. When it stopped holding a charge, I realized that I really didn't want to have to replace the whole unit--I like the GameBoy Advance slot in the front, and the new body style doesn't have this.Enter the perfect, cheap, renewable energy source: this replacement battery pack. For just a few dollars, we're back on our feet and playing away. It arrived simply packaged, with the tiny tool for undoing the screw on the DS Lite's battery panel, and within about 2 minutes we were done and on the charger.A great way to bring your DS back from the dead.UPDATE: I bought this battery from Amazon in July 2009. The vendor assigned to provide it to me was BlueMall and they did a fine job with shipping--it's just the battery and screwdriver in a baggie, really, put in a padded envelope as I recall. It's now been almost two years and the last year or so has seen my daughter use the DS just about any chance she gets thanks to her discovery of the Pokemon games. She'll do long multi-hour sessions or take it with her in the car and leave the lid closed if she doesn't have time to save. The battery still seems to be holding up just fine. We periodically run it flat and then do an overnight charge. I know that typically helps for laptops, so maybe that's a good idea with the DS, too...

It does work with a DS lite however, regardless of the mAh listed on the battery, it’s thinner and lighter than an original battery. It doesn’t have the longevity of an original battery that has 12-15 years of life on it. Best to seek a another battery solution.

I purchased two used DSi's for the kids to use on a long road trip and one of the batteries wouldn't hold a charge so I found this and ordered two. They have been in use for over two months and have performed well. They don't seem to last as long as the factory battery but they do last about 4 hours of almost constant use. I am one who monitors my childrens video time so they do not play them for long periods at home but they did serve the purpose well on our road trip. I would definitely recommend them.

Daughter's Nintendo DS Lite was no longer holding a charge, and was unable to find a replacement battery in my area. Found this battery at Amazon at a cheap price compared to the official Nintendo battery replacement. Easy to install, and comes with screwdriver to open battery cover to access the old battery. New battery charges well and holds charge for a continuous amount of playing my daughter does for a couple of days, which works well and to my daughter's satisfaction. Have used this battery now for a few months with no issues. Pleased with purchase.

Battery works so far with no issues, but definitely does not feel like a high quality product. It's clearly a generic rectangular battery with a flimsy plastic housing and a label sticker. I have not had time to really test the battery life, but I would not be surprised to find that it isn't quite as high as advertised. All that said, this battery works fine so far and is a good option if you're just looking for a cheap replacement.

Got it in the mail. Replaced my old battery and charged my DS for about an hour. Came to find out it hadn't charged at all. The light that indicates it's charging would come on for a second, then cut off. Not sure if it is a faulty battery, or if it's just the whole product. Either way, wasn't happy.

This rechargeable replacement battery pack has come in very handy. My daughter really enjoys her DS Lite and quickly wore out the original battery pack provided by Nintendo. After numerous searches in local retail stores, I decided to turn to the web for a solution. What I found was this excellent battery that comes with a handy screwdriver to help you replace the original battery in the DS Lite unit.This particular battery sits perfectly in the DS Lite, and holds its charge for a very long time.I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced non-Nintendo option for replacing a dead battery pack.
