i replaced mine with the High Capacity model long time ago. don't remember any issue with it.

btw, just sharing this excerpt from nintendo support site:-
QUOTE
Loosen the battery cover screws with a crosshead style, size #0 screwdriver.
-  The battery cover is designed so the screws can be loosened, but not fully removed.

Dang...my new Wii U gamepad battery arrived today...only to find out it's impossible to unscrew the two small screws to open the battery compartment....

Searched around internet....seems like lots of people have the same problem.

Anyone here has success with it? cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

that new battery life doesn't sound right. mine lasts for at least 6hrs of use. it was the original nintendo high capacity battery replacement model.

Thanks bro.

Forgot to up date this thread...but i have solved it....none of my precision screw drivers fits it. The battery comes with a small screw driver which fits but it's too small and i turn until thumb also numb. Read many such cases on internut people asking for help to unscrew. I don't have dremel tools...but after reading some comments on using rubber band...i have another idea...since i have a Black and Decker wireless powered screw driver...

But now, i am not satisfied with the new battery...say what 3600Mah...last night tested only can last 3 hours...WTF. No better than my  original Wii U battery. And the low power lights start blinking after 20 minutes!! (eventhough it only dries out in 3 hours).

Feels like complaining to Paypal to get my money back.
