Boost Your 3DS Battery with Hyperkin's Powerplus

Maybe, I took the 3DS on a trip to London and it lasted pretty well.

without 3D, it can last a long time. And since this is HUGE, I'll pass.

I've never really had problems with my 3DS's battery life, so I'll pass on this.

how does it compare to the nyko powerpak+ ? this one looks like a bulk.

i already installed the nyko one, and im more than pleased. it doesnt add too much weight. its not too large neither. the grip is comfy, much more than the original squared design.
not only it gives me more power, it makes the 3ds hold better and its texture is very soft and grippy. I doubt this one will be able to compete unless its power is MUCH better.

even there, the 3ds battery needed just that little perk, the nyko did it just for my gaming taste.

This reminds me...man, when does that Nyko "Knight Rider" looking case come out? My battery dies on me all the time!

I already have a Powerpak + which doubles Battery Life, and it looks slightly less uglier than that, so definately a no for me!

just turn off the 3D, i turn on the 3d when i want to see those nice 3d effects and most of the time i keep the 3d off

I never ever turn off 3d and ill always use it so this would be certain buy for me but i always play at home on my 3ds so i pass;]

Eh. I don't really need to be away from a charger long enough to kill it. So far I don't have much of a reason to play it anyways. Not getting OoT for another month.

If I ever have to suffer from my 3DS battery, I'll think about picking this up. But I never really did, so pass.

I haven't had any problems with the battery-life so far.

I haven't had any problems with the battery-life so far.

I would have to see and hold one of these in my hand before I could decide. Weight and size are the two big issues.

Now, if only they sold a a 1800mAh battery or even a 2000mAh battery to replace the original. Hope it happens

I'll be getting the Nyko, so no sale here.

I saw the Nyko thingy in stores. Is it really safe to use on my 3DS? I get the impression that using one of these battery booster gadgets will void the warranty on my 3DS if I install it. Another issue too, while the Nyko battery extention is rated 4.2 Volts, the official 3DS battery (as well as nearly all Li-ion cells) is rated 3.7 Volts. The Nyko 4.2V super battery is more than the 3.7V 3DS battery and less than the 4.6V charger, so I potentionally see a problem there. I don't want to fry my 3DS...

So untill Nintendo releases an official battery extention for the 3DS (with the gold Ninteno seal on it), I'm not buying any of these gadgets. Call me square or whatever, but I just don't see it worth the $250 (+ eShop purchases) replacement cost.

@komicturtle92: Those exist

Off topic, but why hasn't anyone mentioned the fact that Nintendo Video is now available in the States?

Is it available in Belfast if so which shops is it availabke in. Remember Nyko's battery pack anyone.

Anyone know how the grip works out with the basic d-pad ?

I'm fine with my all purpose USB solar panel.

@StarDust
it cant void the warantee as nintendo explains how to change your battery. this section can be opened no problems.
but i didnt find anything concerning third party products replacements.

@17.StarDust: I'd look it up in the manual and if i wouldn't find an answer there contact Nintendo.

@19.Sh00kst3r: Hasn't anyone ?

I only have OoT right now along with my DSiware and 3DSware but I'm giving it a break after having it do a 8 hour gaming session with charging included.

Meh, the battery life of the 3DS is actually perfectly fine for how much and where I play the system. Love the charging dock!

honestly, I have the power pak + and it works beautifully. The battery it's self is only $20 and does all that this can (looking less ugly at the same time, and also allows continued use of your original charge cable. I got the one with the charge dock ($30) but I can whole heartedly say it's worth it

I think I might get the Nyko one instead. Seems a lot less awkward.

I have the Nyko one and I'm loving it. It's not as ugly as this one either.

I use it for an hour, 3D all the way up, sound all the way up, brightness on 3/5, its still at all 4 bars after that. I don't see the complaints some people had on reviews.

quand ca sera vendu en France, prevenez moi ! / 100 $ of post price !
