Just bought my NDSL 1 week ago and enjoying playing it, but there's one problem: battery life won't last long.

I'm using EDGE flash card, lowest light and with75% of volume but the battery life is only like around 5 hours. The game i was playing is Jump Ultimate Stars which i believe it won't cost more battery usage than those 3D games.

Is this battery life normal? cause from the manual, it said that with lowest light + sound = around 15hours for original games.

I bought it from a gameshop in sarawak. Cobalt Black color version but the flash card order from lowyat.

I did charge until the orange light off... but then the remaining life after the charging is around 5hours only in lowest light + 75% sound.

surprise
You are same place as me Mirian.

How to check the battery is original or fake? I don't think he will change it because he's kinda poor in NDSL even for PSP, he don't know how to differentiate the fake and original battery.

And the seal of battery is still in good condition.

Btw, can anyone please share your battery life and the flash card you using ? So that i can compare.

U mean you even playing using flash card? What flash card are you using?

But i heard that using flash card will use up a bit more power than ori game.
Thus, i don't use any rumble pack or slot 2. It is cover with the cover given.

flashes red means left around 20% of battery, correct if I'm wrong
But yesterday I using standby mode around 3.15p.m and the game playing was FF12 Relevant wings. By that time, the LED still green. Then when i get home at 6.45p.m. , the LED is flashing red already, but i had played the NDSL like 4 hours already.

Sigh, the tauke of the shop knows nothing about NDSL. Plus, he doesnt sell any battery and from nintendo homepage, it seems that i cant order battery from them, Malaysia isn't listed there.

Re: Blueberry
You mean standby mode also eat up some battery ?

That overnight time, you are using R4 or Original game ?

Yeah, this purchase was unhappy for me. The first time he gave me was N5 and it is real battery eater. With the setting same as me using now, last for only 3.5 hours. Nice that I had returned the N5 back to them and order EDGE from the forums.

But even want replacement, I also hard to give up this since the whole thing is so perfect, no dead pixel, no cracked hinge, the touch screen is so shiny and no scratch. > <

I will try again later after the battery charged. I had charged about 3 times since I purchased exactly 1 week.

But this console of mine is real new > < I cant give up on it T_T

Except it is yellow tinted for the touch screen

Which shop in the parkson? I think now have 3 shops selling game console right now.

Oh, that one selling NDSL and PSP original games one ? Seldom goes into it because the girl sellers is quite annoying. Not one, but all...

I had played my NDSL for 6 hours after the fully charged and the LED is still green color. Now kinda tired

Ok, here's my result after one day testing.

Brightness: 0
Volume: 50%
Flash Card: EDGE with 1GB, version 1.37
Total time played: 8.5~9.0 hours

Here's the games that I had tested and sorted accordingly with the time played:

2.0 hours - Nintendog: Dalmation & Friends
1.5 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars
0.5 hours - Super Robot Taisen W ( just downloaded and tried)
2.0 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars
2.0 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars

After playing till this point, the LED start becoming red and I continue playing it with the games below:

Mario hoops 3 on 3 - when playing this game, the LED change back to green/yellow for 15 minutes, weird
Cooking Mama 2
Mario Kart DS - The game just played about 10 minutes and woops.... Battery runs out and the DS shut down.

Took me about 0.75~1 hour to fully depreciate the battery life starting from Red LED.

I'm wondering is this normal for all DS users ? And does 3D game really eat more power than those 2D ? example, Nintendog and Jump Ultimate Stars.

That's the result that I had tried. Hopes help.
