Don't quite think it works this way. I could make a 4.6v 900mA charger cradle (tape wires to the contacts, more like) and charge the battery outside of the 3DS. When the power is off, it isn't running code to charge the battery. a 4.6v current is going through the contacts of the DS into the battery, and a small amount of that is used to power the charging LED. (honestly, 5v USB lead would likely work just fine. Also, just noticed the 3DS's charger outputs less than the DS Lite's)
