3DS Battery Pack

[Area51_Hacker2]

I think the whole site's 3000th thread,

http://www.instructables.com/id/AmpHourTest/ - you could try this if you feel like taking your 3DS apart

How's the 3D I've not played with one yet, does it hurt your eyes?

Considering it comes out on March 27th, and I got the free shipping (5-8 long days D: ), It'll be a while.



Go read some Kotaku. Good review on it, and some stuff...


3000th thread?! I'm inactive for several months and then randonmly start the 3000th thread? What are the odds....








Back to topic... Does anyone have a better suggestion than the Energizer Energi Pack?

Oh sorry didn't realised you hadn't got it yet - don't intend on buying one for a few years hence I don't know the release date.

We're approaching 30k posts - 10 posts a topic


I say go with it given Energizer are well known the problems with most of these things are the ****ty connectors

That's what I figured. It's not really energizer, but a company called X-something that Energizer has an agreement with. They seem reputable.


It outputs at 800 milliamps I believe, while the charger outputs at 900. I guess this would just mean slower charging.

It would as long as when it's plugged in the 3DS doesn't run off the charger

[siestacat]

Oh... Can anyone confirm one way or the other? I never thought of that...

[Area51_Hacker2]

I suspect that it charges the battery and the system runs off the battery always just gotta hope that the 800mA is >= the running costs in terms of power to the 3DS otherwise it won't offer a net gain of battery charge while it's in use.
