This battery pack last me all the way to Spain. I had to charge it 1 time the whole way it was about ten hours.

This is a decent product, although it isn't meant to last you a whole day it does what it should. Despite the reviews stating they charge for ten hours and got half an hour of paly time. THe only reason that occurs is because a battery gets damaged and looses charge when held to long, the battery can only hold so long no matter how long you charge it. I do not own a battery, but i have a friend who does. When we went to New Hampshire we used the screen and got at least a hour and a half of game time. If you follow the instructions in the pamphlet the battery will work fine.

PLAIN AND SIMPILE I CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 4 HOURS AND PLAYED IT ON A NONSTOP FLIGHT FORM ARIZONA TO MASS AND I NEVER STOPPED IT IS GREAT. IT IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BUY

This battery stinks. It is horrible. If anyone tells you it works they are lying. When you hook up the AC adapter to the battery and hook the battery to the Gamecube it works because the power is coming from the ac adapter while the battery is charging at the same time. Thats why some people say it works a long time. Use the battery by itself and it works about 1 1/2 hours if you charge it for the maximum amount of time which is about 9 hours. It is not worth the buy. Save your money. If you get this as a gift take it back and refund it. Then get a game and give the difference back. This thing stinks. Believe me. You are being warned, so don't say i didn't warn ya! You'll be sorry if you buy it. The only thing that makes it worth buying is......... oh wait there isnt anything that makes it worth buying. Don;t buy anything electronical from intec, mad cats or any other fake brand they screw up your machine i only got the cases from intec and also their GBA Handle or something. DONT BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!

Well, I do not actually own this but I saw in the reviews above that they were saying that they charged it for ten hours and got five minutes out of it. I'm pretty sure it was because of the fact you were running a Gamecube AND a portable screen of that one battery. It says in the booklet it will last 1 1/2 hours normally. It's just a time for the gamecube if your only runnig the Gamecube off the battery.

We have used the battery twice. Both times we charged it for more than 8 hours. Powering both the monitor and gamecube, the battery lasted about 50 minutes. Not worth the money.

i bought this thinking it would last as long as nintendo says it would(1 and a half hours). Thinking wow that [disappoints] an hour and a half is bad enough......it gets worse, i charged it for 4 hours at first like the interenet says and i got 25 minutes, then i charged it for 8 hours like the box says and i got aproximatly the same........

When I got this game for Christmas I thought was in for something cool. I tried it and hated it. I have a screen and I tried out the battery pack. When I charged it I expected an hour and a half of playing time. My first time playing I got a grand total of 5 minutes. I tried again later and all that happened was the gamecube icon come up again and again and agian. So take my advise this battery packmay sound like the coolest gamecube accesory but you'll be ripped off.

Absolutely not worth the money . It says you'll get 1 1/2 hour playing time in the instruction booklet . I charged it for 10 hours and what I actually got was more like 25 minutes . Very dissapointing .

we charged the battery pack for 10 hrs and got like 15 mins of playtime with it. the screen rocks though. we suggest to buy the screen but forget all about the crappy battery. it really stinks like the title suggests. so leave the battery on the stinky shelves where it belongs.
