Rechargeable Replacement Battery Pack For Nintendo DS Lite

We have had a DS Lite for a while, and recently it stopped holding a charge. This battery seemed like a reasonable solution to our problem. It installed easily, shipped promptly, and holds charge without any problem.If you need a replacement battery for a DS Lite you won't be unhappy with this purchase. It comes with a small screwdriver to help remove and reseal the battery cover. The entire process took only a minute or two and the DS Lite was back up and running.This battery looks very similar to the old DS Lite battery, but had more English writing on it.

This was a perfect battery replacement for the Nintendo DS Lite we found in a pocket of a courier bag that we were given long enough ago that we've forgotten who gave it to us. (Not kidding.) It's also rated at almost twice the capacity of the OEM battery. We popped in the new battery, and the DS fured right up without a problem, good as new. Two thumbs up.

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.

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...

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.

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.

I never had the opportunity to use the original Nintendo DS battery as I got my daughter's unit used. However, this batter only seems to be holding a charge for about 2 hours; if not less. I have changed to the second lowest back light setting and the life does not seem to increase.I would look for another replacement...maybe one with better reviews on battery life.
