Nintendo DS battery .......

[leon_belmont]

Its been almost 2 weeks since i bought a DS lite from ebay with R4 adapter.
It arrived brand new packed , but the battery can not stand up more than 2 hours and 15 min, and when i charge it, the orange led of charging charges only 1 hour and 30 min max. Is this a problem with the battery , or my DS is f*cked up already ?

Using a flashcart uses a lot more battery than the regular cart; it's around 50% less life on mine. That said, 2 hours still seems a bit low. Is the DS brand new?

Brand new yeah. so you are sayin that its not the fault of battery but the R4DS, and 2 hour and 30 min is too low? Anyway thanks for the info. I was about to buy a new battery ,but i dont think i need one now.

Do you have a buddy's DS you can try? 2.5 hours still is around half of what you should be getting.
