I'm guessing you live in the US. You may have to search at the usual B&M stores. Toys 'R' Us , Target, Walmart, Gamestop. I don't think this should have ever been a new topic.

Hmmm a totally legit question...after all some members here work in those kinda stores, and it could therefore save a lot of legwork/Telephone calls/Googling.

Time that could be better spent playing the new games coming out!

Anyway I got no advice about the topic, so i'll just keep quiet.

I'd also would like to tack on an additional question to the original one. Other than the official Nintendo ones what is a decent third party brand. I've only heard bad things about them.

after my bad experience with third party battery i buy mine from Nintendo.com

Lites
http://www.nintendo.com/accessoriesds#ds-lite-accessories

Phatties
http://www.nintendo.com/accessoriesds#ds-accessories

their 15 bucks + shipping kinda on the high side but i personally think OEM battery is great


oh i did buy about 4 third party 1600mah battery to test out, all 4 were worthless
3 lasted 1/4 the original ds battery time if not less
1 was a complete dud, didnt accept charges
(ones i tried werent dragon brand so dont know about those)

best thing i have to show from it is 4 mini screw drivers rolling around my table somewhere, now their great for ds and other things

*Edit*
Opps not online... hmm try gamestop or local videogame store, or buy it in asia
btw Nintendo ships 1-2 day after order via UPS, also they usually ship from washington state for me so its pretty fast, they also offer faster shipping method for more $

Where are you going to, in Asia? Depending on where you are, you might have a better chance getting a battery cheaper.
