The rechargeable battery works just fine. Thank you for your prompt mailing of this product.
This battery was/is advertised as a 1600 mAH battery. Nearly half the capacity of what was advertised. What I got in the mail was an 850 mAH battery. If you don't know, that number indicates the capacity of the battery when new. (The original DS Lite battery is 1000 mAH) I bought this assuming that I was getting a battery with over 1.5 times the capacity of the original. Some people have reported to have gotten a 1600 mAH battery, so I'd say this: If you want a higher capacity battery, or just a new one, only get this if you're willing to chance having to return it.
Not a bad price really for a lithium-ion battery since those are so proprietary. Or maybe they were having too many complaints and/or problems. Well, first of all, I was rather surprised to receive a completely different battery than that shown in the image. It's only because of the DS's popularity that you see such a pricetag really. I was a bit annoyed at first for not receiving a 1600mAh battery, but upon reading the other reviews and trying this one out, I think I'm actually rather happier because of the seller's choice. Perhaps they were forced to redesign the look of it or something since it infringes on the look of the stock battery. I could say it's a lot better than my stock battery, but admitedly that battery has seen a fair bit of use over a decent amount of time since I bought my DS used, so I can't really say much about it versus the stock, but I can say that for the money I paid I got a battery that I suspect is at least equal to the normal stock battery. For the amount spent, I'd say getting a 1000mAh battery that actually seems to be 1000mAh is worth it.
I now only have to charge my DS about once a week it seems like. I think that even though it looks more generic, it is actually a pretty good battery. Either way, the seller sent me a very different looking battery, one that looks far more generic and is rated at 1000mAh. It seems to be holding a very good charge. Of course, I don't play excessively and every now and then try to plug it up while playing at home anyway.
Low Price, Fast Shipping. Product was received in excellent condition. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
I had this rechargable battery in my son's DS, works fine recharges fast, it makes its work fine. We have used it for 2 weeks, and have not problem with it.
