I've had my DS Lite since the unit was released, and my daughter and I have logged many hours on it. When it stopped holding a charge, I realized that I really didn't want to have to replace the whole unit--I like the GameBoy Advance slot in the front, and the new body style doesn't have this.

Enter the perfect, cheap, renewable energy source: this replacement battery pack. For just a few dollars, we're back on our feet and playing away. It arrived simply packaged, with the tiny tool for undoing the screw on the DS Lite's battery panel, and within about 2 minutes we were done and on the charger.

A great way to bring your DS back from the dead.

UPDATE: I bought this battery from Amazon in July 2009. The vendor assigned to provide it to me was BlueMall and they did a fine job with shipping--it's just the battery and screwdriver in a baggie, really, put in a padded envelope as I recall. It's now been almost two years and the last year or so has seen my daughter use the DS just about any chance she gets thanks to her discovery of the Pokemon games. She'll do long multi-hour sessions or take it with her in the car and leave the lid closed if she doesn't have time to save. The battery still seems to be holding up just fine. We periodically run it flat and then do an overnight charge. I know that typically helps for laptops, so maybe that's a good idea with the DS, too...

1.0 out of 5 stars It works, but barely holds a charge, August 18, 2010

Despite claiming more than half as much capacity as the factory-supplied battery, the battery only lasts me about two hours per charge. I'll be switching back to the OEM as soon as possible.

Update: I tore off the sticker and found the cell inside is manufactured by TMB, product number 063048. According to the manufacturer, this battery is only capable of a 700mah charge, NOT the 2000 advertised. Do not waste your time with this battery, go for a more reputable option, like the OEM.

This rechargeable replacement battery pack has come in very handy. My daughter really enjoys her DS Lite and quickly wore out the original battery pack provided by Nintendo. After numerous searches in local retail stores, I decided to turn to the web for a solution. What I found was this excellent battery that comes with a handy screwdriver to help you replace the original battery in the DS Lite unit.

This particular battery sits perfectly in the DS Lite, and holds its charge for a very long time.

I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced non-Nintendo option for replacing a dead battery pack.
