MIKE5200 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We all have problems with our Gamepads running out after 5 hours. I have found two ways to get 10 hours of playing. You can change the battery or get this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b-eeOxjVk0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 There's also an official Nintendo-brand extended life battery. About a week ago I went to the Nintendo online store and it was down - says it will be until May 9. That's strange that they'd take it down for so long; it makes you wonder if they're in trouble or something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I bought the Nyko product: it worked but I didn't like it as it just added too much weight to the gamepad... for me (your experience may differ). I also bought the new longer-life battery from the Nintendo store: was easy to install (once I found a small enough screw driver...LOL) and it does improve the length of game time between charges.

It usually takes a week or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It's their yearly store refresh. No trouble. It usually takes a week or 2. Thanks; I wasn't aware they did that. But back to the extended-battery discussion: I thought I'd read here (on AtariAge) that people were buying the new gamepad battery for $32 from Nintendo. However, it is not listed in their store! Here's the section on Controllers and Remotes Here's the section on Replacement Parts Here's the section on Accessories Where did people find that? The Nyko Uboost (the original poster posted about) is a thing that hangs off the back of the controller, but I think the official Nintendo expanded battery fits under the stock battery cover? Where'd you guys find that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) It was listed since I checked when it first was made available, they've just taken it down for whatever reason. Only the manual for $1.25 is listed (They're sure going to sell a lot of those). Edited May 15, 2014 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
