Mendon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Yep, its $32 and I have already ordered one from the Nintendo online store. I'm not sure I even got 3hrs out of the old battery as between playing a game and frequently pausing to go to Miiverse to post a picture/comment, that damn red light would be on before I was ready to end my gaming session.

Jinks Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I never had a prob with my battery.. then again really rare to reach the 2h mark of gaming at a time. Can play sometimes 5-6 hours a day but take lots of breaks. Edited December 22, 2013 by Jinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I may wait on this. I may have needed it a year ago, but I find my Wii U sessions these days being around three hours at the max. Time is limited, so the battery life hasn't been a problem for me yet. Still, I'm glad to see the new battery is available to us now.

Atariboy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) On a slightly related note, they also sell an official Wiimote charger and battery via their online store now as well after 7 years of waiting.

Jinks Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 In my experience 3rd party batteries are usually absolute garbage for any device so this should be no different. Its an every chinaman for themselves world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
