Not sure this is the correct place to ask, but i did some research on the net, but that confuse me more
hope all the sifu here can help

I have a japan 3DS XL recently, so could i use local adapter to charge ? what is the correct voltage to use ?

found a seller at LYN selling normal 3DS charger (In =230 - 50Hz, Out 4.6V - 900mA) at RM45
so can i use 3DS charger to charge 3DS XL ?

the shop nearby my house got sell 3rd party 3DS XL charger which cost RM25, anyone here using 3rd party charger? are they reliable ?

thx in advance

Most of 3ds XL owner here in Malaysia will use 3rd party charger.
As long the charger IN is at 230-240V/50-60hz and output matches with original charger it's fine.



*I'm not sure the output, I need to check mine at home.

don't make it so complicated. just get a local charger and use that. i myself is using a local charger to charge my ll.
mine is not 3rd party charger so i got no comment on 3rd party charger reliability but they do works.

buy USB Cable from Daiso then use your phone charger for your peace of mind

will the USB cable charge slower compare to adapter ?

it will depend on the Ampere of your charger.. the higher the faster..
for example.. if you use a tablet wall charger (most of them are in 1.5 to 2A) to charge it will be a lot faster than using a phone charger (most of them are in 500 to 900mA)

Don't forget about the voltage. A higher current value is fine, but not voltage. Most standard chargers output 5v, while the 3DS input is only 4.6v if I recall correctly.

On that note though, my 3rd party charger outputs 4.6v according to the box. But, the charger itself outputs 5v according to the sticker on it.

this.

In the same situation. What's the make/model of the USB cable from Daiso? Any pictures?

Tahan or not? Later I go work atas kapal if cable rosak cannot charge sakit kepala liao. Work 2 months atas kapal all work and no play makes me a dull boy. Nak beli replacement kena turun darat many hundreds kilometers away.

those usb charging cable is okay quality can last quite long but to be on the safe side you can buy a few spare one it's just 5 ringgit better than u become dull boy...
