You MUST turn of the charger as soon as your DS has finished charging. Why? Cos if u charge it overnight, your Ds will be overcharged and you will soon realize that your battery life is much shorter.
How do you charge your DS lite?

QUOTE(infested_ysy @ Dec 26 2006, 08:26 PM) But I thought the DS disconnects once its charge is full? The recharging LED turning off and all D: At least Nintendo claimes that. But I have an experience of that myself. Ever since I bought my Phat Ds the battery life lasted for only 2 hours not 4. That is because I only charge my DS at night before bedtime. Just like handphones, overcharging also makes the battery life much shorter. Now that I have a Lite, I charge it in the morning and off it as soon as it stops charging. My lite actually can work up to 16 hours now when my friend's 'overcharged' lite will only last him for 5 hours. Seriously. |

QUOTE(bidfordun @ Dec 26 2006, 08:53 PM) and once again, u cant deny the possiblities that the battery is not so good ma. Ya. But still I don't think we should overcharge our systems. Its like taking a big risk. Also I have another warning for you guys, don't leave your DS half-open! That causes a lot of pressure to the hinge and you will not only get the crack hinge, but the power led light place will also break just like the one in the ninty counters. If possible, don't open your DS too much. |

QUOTE(infested_ysy @ Dec 26 2006, 08:58 PM) Holy shi-... Sorry I didn't warn you, seriously this is Nintendo's fault. I used to recharge my phat overnight,too. I heard that if you take an overcharged battery out and compare it with a good battery, the overcharged one will spin when you spin it but the good battery won't. You can get batteries from Playasia.com.Why didn't anyone mentioned throughout the forums before? D:. And I should've read up more on lithium ion batteries much sooner. The reason I started this thread is because of me and my brother suddenly getting 4 hours of gameplay time on my DS lite today on brightness 2 setting. I've been letting my 12 year old brother take control over my DS lite recently (finals for my university's coming D:), and he tends to recharge it overnight (leftover habit from the Nickel Cadium days, I suppose. My parents started the trend =/), which I usually don't notice and thought it doesn't matter (LED off and all, thought it automatically cut the voltage supply once it's full). But today's the worse, he woke up late, and the DS lite got friggin 10 hours worth of recharging. How much does original nintendo batteries cost again? I think I'll need one very soon, if mine still lasts 4 hours after this recharge >_< |
