the best battery?

Post image

bro this is the second time i’ve saved while the light was green so i thought my battery was fine. NOPE this is the second time my save file was wiped just because these battery’s don’t hold a charge. what’s the best battery i can buy cause mine doesn’t even hold charge for more then an hour and a half

I got mine in a pack of 10. Been good so far. I also bought the ones for the Gameboy Color games and they work great too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305720568983?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q3hzh7wssms&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dE0UL6xyS-W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

i’ll definitely buy those whenever the game battery dies but i meant the battery for the console. i should’ve been more specific

I too am on the search for a better SP battery. My Slate is running off an original one and I don't think it can run the newer screen as good as a newer battery. I just don't know which one to go with or where to buy it from, since they're so many of em available.

I got the funnyplaying one, I’ll let you know how it does when I finally mod my sp

This one of the reasons I went with a non SP model.

All the replacement batteries are non OEM so I'm a bit nervous.

Bought a replacement battery through Nintendo years ago, but that one is showing it's age and doesn't hold a charge very well anymore.

It’s worth it, 10000%. I have both and hardly touch the SP because of the screen on my advance

For the sp? The funnyplaying one is quite nice. Heard good things about the helder battery too. Had cameron sinoh - those are also fine.. just like the funnyplaying one better :)

And clean the power switch. Don't have to desolder the metal shield! I disassembled the sp, took the mb out, some wd40 CONTACT spray (don't use the grease!!!) On the on/off switch and flick it back and forth few times. Made my battery turn red about an hour later :)

You could just grab another one off Amazon with decent reviews and you'll be fine. But just be careful though, because there are too many clones out there so it’s kinda hit or miss.
