unless you have a brand new ds, those numbers aren't too bad. rechargeable batteries do lose their charge over time.tinymonkeyt said:well usually i play on the lowest backlight for the ds
and id say it went more than 10 hours a time (the manual says about 15-18 hours)
but with the cyclo, (the review says its about 4 hours) i can only play for like 2-3
bites down on my battery a lot :/
