Tomee Rechargeable Battery Pack for New Nintendo 3DS XL/ Nintendo 3DS XL

It worked great but it only sucked up my DS was broken. But now it's nice to have a spare battery in case something happened to the other one

Day 1: After Installing the batteries into our systems(mine and my husbands) both batteries showed a 3/4 battery percentage bar, but it was still enough to update our systems and it's apps. Day 2: After spending the night charging our systems we played Pokemon Crystal together. The charge lasted about 5-6 hours, but wouldn't give us a warning when the battery was near empty(I.E. the simple red light), instead it began flashing red suddenly(indicating that it will shut down any moment). This actually happens when the system says the battery is at 3/4 of power. Obviously, the battery does not communicate with the system properly to tell it's proper power status. But overall, I really like being able to play on my 3ds for hours at a time again when I could only play for 5 minutes without the charger cable beforehand.

Even though the battery life doesn't last as long as the original's one, it certainly works for its intended use.

Wow easy to change, worked perfect, in about 2 minutes my kid was up and playing on his game again, nicely done. Ive had it a couple months now and its keeping a perfect charge, even a bit longer than the old OEM did when it was new.

I bought this battery because it was about half the price of buying one from Nintendo, but I recommend skipping this and just spending the extra money. The battery seemed fine at first but when I actually started using the system I noticed it would disconnect EVERY TIME I closed the system. I thought maybe it was my 3DS itself because the last battery had started to bloat, so maybe it warped something? No, I confirmed with another brand new battery from Nintendo themselves that they still fit into the system just fine and don't fall out like this one does. I was able to get this battery working for awhile by shoving a piece of paper between it and the system to hold it in place, but I'd rather not have to do something like that. However on top of not fitting right this battery has an abysmal charge time, not even able to hold the charge while the system is idle overnight. Just wait the extra time and spend the extra money to get a battery from Nintendo if you need a new one.

Hard to determine if the battery is defective or the game player. Regardless, it didn't work.

My daughter still played with the 3DS, and this battery was a good deal and worked well to replace the failed OEM battery. By the time this one fails, I would expect we won't be using the 3ds much anymore...

Came with a screwdriver. Easy to replace. And it has good battery life! I haven't actually measured how long it lasts but I know it can last overnight on sleep mode and some good hours when actually playing.
