i was going to buy a 3DS, but was dissapointed with the 3-5 hour battery life. are there any portable chargers or battery packs to expand the battery life or charge it with a pre charged charger???
There is a nice battery available from Duracell. Get a DSi/3DS charger to USB cord to plug it in and play. This battery pack is 2000mAh, which is pretty big considering the 3DS' is 1300mAh. Note though, it IS expensive, but this is the lowest price I could find. I also included Staples. EDIT: Oh, I found something that's really cool too! Maybe even better! A wrist watch style battery that holds 1500mAh.
A) You shouldn't be playing video games for more than 3-5 hours at a time anyway, though I can understand if you're worried about being away from a place to charge. B) Turn down the brightness as much as comfortable, and turn off the 3-D when you're not using it. That will help a lot.
Yes, Nyko has released a battery pack and charger for $29.99, and is supposed to increase battery life 2-3 times longer, and is relatively flat, and just snaps on the back. On the down side, it is a lot heavier, and requires you to charge it 2-3 times longer. Hope I helped!
