Don't waste your time or money with this product. I tried to insert the battery and it didn't fit in the battery slot. I compared this battery's dimensions to the Nintendo battery. This battery is .8 mm too big to fit into the battery compartment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the nintendo battery, December 27, 2006

Positive - the screwdriver that comes with the battery fits the nintendo DS lite screw well.

Negatives -
#1 - The battery I received is a very tight fit. This is advertized on the package as "you can swap batteries in a snap". It was difficult to get the battery in, and required a small flathead screwdriver to pry it back out (the screw is a phillips, so you need to take an extra flathead with you). Not what I would call "a snap".

The original nintendo battery goes in and comes out of the battery compartment easily.

#2 - The packaging claims "up to 3 hours extra play time". I have not tested the battery because of #1, but my son has played for well over 5 hours on the original nintendo battery without requiring a recharge.

#3 - nintendo offers a replacement battery that is supposed to be the same as the one included with the ds lite for $15 plus shipping.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as the original.., December 11, 2007

I highly suggest you skip over this, and purchase a Nintendo original. I purchased this battery as a spare, because I do quite a bit of trans-pacific travel. The claims for this battery are that it will give you 3 hours of play time. I find this ridiculous. In all of my attempts, I have received a little over 1 hour of actual play time. While I have had no problems with it fitting into the battery slot, it seems that others have.
