Did NDS need to play until red lights n charge it ?
Coz i everytime charge after play it
i scared it will spoiled if i keep doing like this

erh... there's no problem really to do that. But it's better and recommended to charge when it is in red.

Same logic with other Ion batteries, better recharge after flat. And don't over charge

Okay, thx a lot ^^

eh? really ka? didn't know before
so have to wait till red eh?

I'm disappointed

i never played till red only charge
i always charge whenever i want to
i did the same thing to my phone and 2 years already my phone batt still going strong
i;ve read somewhere that do not always use your lithium ion batt until it's flat before charging it...best is to charge it when it's below 50% as these batt are best kept fully charged

charge anytime
never let it completely flat
it will damage the batt

completely flat? what do you meant by that?

means batt empty...can't turn on yr DS at all

ohh, happened to me for quite sometime.
anyway thanks TS for bringing this up, if not, I'm sure miss something

how to know the battery below 50%?

ask thru the mic
"ds..how much power u hv left in there?"

jk..

but i think if i remember correctly is checking it from the ds menu. (u know, when u didn't insert any game)

dunno if it has the batt indicator like the psp.

estimate for yourselve...let's say the full charge can last you 10 hours...when u played around 5-6 hours, then it's time to charge...
But I would prefer to charge it frequently.

no battery indicator one.........

actually got.. only in certain games...

only game i know got this is Disagea..

i always over charge my DS when sleep or go somewhere... and its still ok today..
is there any side effect when over charge it or will damage it Battery?

No. It turns off automatically when it finishes charging.

But gundamalpha said dun over charge it

so don't worry about not using it till it's flat...

Yes, don't over charge it, even if this means full scale war with kyo I still insist on this

haiya, if battery die change a new one loh.....

Well, according to Nintendo, the Nintendo DS's power light will change from green to red when the battery life is around 30%.

Edit: And according to Battery University, a lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
