DSi Battery Life - Nintendo DS, DSi & DSiWare Forum

I had recently purchased a Nintendo DSi. After being the proud owner or an original G1 DS, two G1 DSlite's (white and black shell) and a G2 DSlite (blackblue shell). Naturally, I opted for the Nintendo DSi. At first, I was impressed, later on, I was more impressed. The one issue that caught my eye was battery life. In all reviews, there were bad marks on battery life. After I had a full charge on my DSi, I found that my battery life was drastically less. I had played for nearly two hours before my warning light lit. I looked at the battery gauge and sure enough, one bar left. I then navigated the system menu and located the WiFi options. I disabled WiFi, performed a reboot and my LED was blue again. I even played for another two hours before the battery emptied. My thoughts, the WiFi is always "on" unless you turn it off unlike the DSlite and DS. I also believe this may be for future services similar to Nintendo24Connect. I have since then seen battery life of up to six hours with mixed WiFi and non-WiFi use. If you are seeing low battery life, why not disable WiFi unless you need it and test your battery life then.
