I need help on what I should do to replace the battery. The problem is that it doesn't last long, less than a hour maybe with full charge lowest brightness setting power save on and rumble off. Few years ago nintendo announced their extended battery pack that increased the hours used on it, and i got one. It was and still is $40 i ordered directly from nintendo store online.

Does anyone have a better and cheaper idea on what I should get? :unsure:

I have that chinese fake battery, well mine is supossed to be 3000 or more mAh, but sure is actually 2600, (its exacly like that of ebay). It works pretty well, and two or more years after buying it still last about 3 hours with brightness at max intensity. The low battery light turns on too early maybe at 50%, but over than that, yeah it works pretty well.

I didn't like all the crappy 3rd party batteries for the Wii U tablet so my solution was to get a USB charge cable and plug it into a power bank. :\ works fine for the most part.

Hello.:)

I have ordered this Battery:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07T6S91F3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

GamePad Settings:
Screen Brightness is set to "2",Power Savemode is "OFF" and also Rumble is "OFF"

And the First "Test" lasts over 4 and a Half Hours then the Red LED lit up.
After that another 30 Minutes passes before the LED begins to flash.

I have played GameCube Games via vWii and USBLoader GX only with Gamepad Display.
By the Way,my previously bought Wii U WUP-005 Controller

needed no Recharging since that Day.:)

So exactly +/- a few Minutes,5 Hours of Game Pad Power.:)
Not more expected and for this 21 Euros including Shipping this is ok.

Thank you for Reading.:)
