Thread: 3DS Battery Pack

  1. #1

    Default 3DS Battery Pack

    Well... (gee, it's been a while)



    I don't know the inner workings of the DSi's charging, but basically the 3DS's battery life is terrible. I plan on buying an external battery pack for it, but the only ones with enough "juice" output via USB (like this one). I can buy a USB charging cable for it (like this).

    Now, should I just buy a USB output one, and use a USB cable, or buy a dedicated DSi external pack? I didn't know if charging through USB outputted different current or voltage, and didn't know if this would affect the system in any way.


    If I should buy a dedicated DSi external pack, can someone suggest one? I haven't found one yet.


    (P.S. 3DS uses DSi Charger)

    If you had started with that, I would've been much less confused when reading your story...

    Well... I think I'll buy Energizer's Energi to Go XP4001. That should give me a little extra time.

    Now, should I buy a USB to DSi cable strait from Amazon, or pay $4 for a "tip" from the company themselves?



    EDIT :


    WOAH! This is this section's 3000s thread? Site's 3000 thread?

    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...

    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.

    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
