Well, for me personally the 3DS' battery life has seemingly only gotten worse over time. I can barely play for an hour or two before the light goes red.

@halil's sig

That's a lot of boycotting.


You must have plugged it in like 600 or so times, LOL.

I am worry about what will happen to my 3DS when the battery starts decaying per say.

I have been cautious with only unplugging my 3DS when I am actually leaving home, and I also make sure to not plug my 3DS back in, unless I am going to keep it in for a good long time.

I personally find myself getting up to 4 hours on the go since the 4.3 update. But it use to be shorter.

Its best if everyone tries to avoid unplugging the Handhelds as often as possible so you won't be constantly re-plugging it back in to speed up the decaying "per say" of the battery.



Actually, I mostly just play with it plugged into the wall. I heard doing that is bad for battery life though, which sounds the opposite of what you say. Also worth mentioning the 1-2 hours for me is with 3D at max, brightness at max, wifi enabled, volume at max, and power save disabled.

Well, I also play with everything on the Max and get 4 hours on the go.

I know the Instructional Manuel says after 500 charges it starts loosing storage capacity of power in its battery.

Cell phones are a similar situation with 400 charges.

I think as long as you have it in sleep mode during most hours plugged in, it should be okay.

Well it works the same as cell phone charging, so someone should have the answer.
