Recently started using my first flash cart which is a R4 SDHC RTS LITE playing on a DS lite. I noticed that the battery seems to drain much faster compared to using a normal DS game and want to know if thats normal for this flash cart or do all of them use more battery life? Does this shorten the total lifespan of the battery? Can this cart do an damage to the console itself be it the battery or anything else? Thank you for your time.
Edit 1: Dont know if it helps but I am using a 64g SanDisk SDXC card I already had and changed it to fat32 so it would work and currently have 23 games on it.
Edit 2: Might not mean anything but I noticed that with the flash cart the power light changes back and forth from red to green and green to red over and over. With a normal card if the battery is low it stays red,but with the R4 it has a hard time making up its mind.
