Either my internal battery is getting old, or I'm using my DSLite more, but the battery isn't lasting as long as it used to. So, a way of charging on the go is a good idea, but there's a lack of any real external battery options available.
I know you can buy a second battery, and just unscrew the back and replace, but that means not only stopping the game you're playing, but also mucking about with screwdrivers - something I'm not keen on (dust and muck getting in there, and contacts getting worn down).
I know you can get AAA emergency chargers like HERE, but then you'll spend a fortune in AAA batteries instead.
What I really want is this External battery which is a real external charger, but I cant find any online shops selling it. What with Lik-Sang dead too that limits options. Anyone seen it around?
Does anyone think it's possible to get a spare DSLite battery and hack connect it to your DSLite charger cable (like this similar hack - This would be a fair solution, but I wonder if it would work:
Get a BATTERY CHARGER + BATTERY, this has a cable that at one end is a DS connector, and the other is USB.
Then cut the DS-USB cable in half and splice on another DS style head from a spare DS-USB cable.
So, you'd have [BATTERY CHARGER + BATTERY] [DS lite]
Total cost about $15 + shipping.
Possible?
