  • Now you cant put the nerf armor because of that battery or another case

    You dummie

  • i guess i have a god ds cus ive played with it full 3d non stop playing and it lasted over 4 hours, stopping and going and only one bar depleted.

  • is there a case that can hold this ? would a normal dsi case fit it now ?

  • with this battery pack you can't use the Circle Pad Pro...

  • thumbs up if you looked this up because of chuggaaconroy!

  • ????..... How did you do that? Nintendo usually sends a replacement device after you've sent your system in & after they received your system.

  • Oh Snap It's On! :P

  • witch one is better this one or Portable Power Battery Pack by CTA

  • I would buy it BUT as i have larger hands and a grip to compensate for that it wont fit if i buy this, bummer! No grip = hand cramps so im screwed

  • I take my 3DS off the dock when I leave in the morning, play throughout the day and it's still good when I get home. Battery life is not an issue.

    However, it would be nice to have it last for two days for overnight trips.

  • i heard that you void the warranty if you don't use the official Nintendo battery

  • @snake456100 How on earth would they ever know? That is a bogus rumor.

  • why does it take s long for it to charge :(

  • I got this with the dock today and it was only 20 bucks. How weird.

  • Waste

  • And a wast of money

  • That looks like a clunk of shit

  • The battery life of a PSP 1000 model is far worse compare to the 3DS's

  • I just bought the Power Pack + ALONE, without the dock, and it is SUCH a lifesaver! Takes away all the stress the 3DS battery brings, and makes your 3DS experience even more heavenly (if that is even possible). I never EVER used the original dock, so for $9.99 at Best Buy (and they had a shyt load of them) You can buy JUST the Nyko Power Pack + battery. VERY small price for making your shine in it's TRUE form!

  • This is a great thing, guys. I advise you get it BUT WITHOUT THE BASE. Just the back. It makes my battery last forever. GREAT for long trips. It does take a little getting used to with the huge back though. I got over it in a day.

  • so how did it turn out? whats the new battery life? worth getting?

  • will i be able to use the new analog attachment with this on

  • "Oh snap, it's on." XD

  • should i get it, does it work?

  • i have one love it it gave my 3DS 40 hours not 8 like they advertise

  • so, is battery life any good?

  • hey can you really tel me whats the charge base really for?

  • @ReviewDis lol, for charging?

  • @ReviewDis

    it doesnt really serve  a purpose

  • @ReviewDis Cant tell if serious...

    If you are then its obviously to charge it. Did you see the contacts on the battery pak? They touch the contacts on the base and charge it.

    If you werent serious then pardon me, and maybe proofread your comment next time as well, it couldnt hurt.

  • What time of the first charge?

  • Does this void the warranty? Please let me know!!

  • Hey, I heard that the Dock wasnt working well. Should I get the dock too?

  • @sk8rfrlyf

    nah dont get it

  • So... Months later, is it still something you would recommend?

  • How did u get the two 3dses

  • @legomaster445 He bought them at the store.

  • @legomaster445 He did this crazy thing called buying two!

  • i do agree that the battery life is horrible. because the battery life sucks i have to lower the brightness to 1 and put the 3d of just so that i can have some extra hours on my game

  • does the pack feel like a nintendo dsi?

  • It's either this or the Mugen Power Battery for me. Dumb question, does this work with every 3DS irrespective of region? If not I might wait for Mugen to release a European version of their battery extender. It's way better. Might be better stuff out by then too.

  • BYEEEEE xD

  • I'm struggling with the screwdriver. i have no power.. i will need to ask my uncle to do the job TT

  • Well Ipod when playing a normal 3D game is only an hour so compare 3DS has three times the battery life as an ipod. An that's when my Ipod's wifi is turned off and the brightness is just above half.

  • There are only two things I dislike about the 3DS: The battery life, and how the thin design of the system digs into my hands. This accessory appears to solve both of those issues, and at the price, it's great.

  • can u still charge this with the regular 3ds charger

  • does it come with blue?

    if not i'm gonna kill myself

  • Only 15 bucks now :D

  • I bought the nyko power pack + and dock. bad idea.

    step 1: works well

    step 2: gives wrong power reading

    step 3: the dock doesn't work unless I position perfectly

    step 4: stops charging after half an hour

    step 5: stops charging at all

  • Awesome it came with a screw! i don't even have a tiny screw at home :<

  • I'm so Buying This! Gonna buy it on a Friday

  • what the hell does the cradle do???? can u charge the ds the regular way or do u need the cradle????

  • @Ngtcrawler21 It's to just keep it in a safe place while charging and helps download and update faster. Though doesn't need it to recharge

  • No, the worst battery life for a handheld is the Sega GameGear.

  • can you remove this? Because idon't really want it to be thicker the 3ds and i only need the battery for like road trips. so if i could takeit outagain that would be cool.do you know if you can doi this?

  • Okay so I reset all my counters to put this thing to the test and so far I have done 3.5 hours of mario 3d land and 45 minutes of netflix with all bars still full.

    Brightness at 3, WiFi on and Power Saver off.

  • I wonder how the PS Vita's battery life problem will be solved...

  • Blinking Red Light (Original Battery): CHARGE ME NOW, OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR UNSAVED PROGRESS!!!

  • Got mine for twenty smacks for BOTH the battery itself and the cradle / dock at amazon.com.

  • When I got this for my 3DS, I just grabbed a bigger screwdriver with the same tip (I have a case full of screws with various tips) it took me no lesser than five minutes to find the right screw (I have to be delicate putting back screw with my case or it won't close properly), than use that little midge of a screw.

    Good for people with small hands or children who are savvy, but for me and others, not something we won't to deal with, because I can't rummage around my toolbox for replacements.

  • It really works ?¿ you got the doble of gameplay with that battery ?

  • so basically there both the same battry rite

  • @residentevil54460 No. it is a more powerful and larger battery which is why it has a separate bottom shell.

  • @residentevil54460 fuck yea im serious. look at the specs of the vita its poor. 3ds lasts about 6-8 without this battery pack vita last 3-5 but with limitations like low brightness, headphones on, and no 3g! also vita comes with no memory so u have to buy an external memory card that costs between 30 to 40 bucks damn.

  • hahah its called get a car charger

  • @residentevil54460 No car charger on a plane

  • @kiokennexpell Yes minimum brightness and no 3d would be the best way to go on a long trip and no brightness with 3d will extend it to 6 hours and I recommend 3d for a short period then turn it off hope that helped :)

  • You should do unboxing and review vids, one of the best reviews I've seen for this.

  • the funny thing is vitas battery life is worse then the 3ds lol.

  • @TheSunsfan2006 r u serious

  • Can someone tell me, if I have a 3ds with this item, and I use the MINIMUN light (no light on) and the 3d ON, is it possible to the battery be extended how much? 8-9 hours?

  • I'd rather keep the use of a protecting case over having double battery life. :/

  • I just bought it for $20 for the whole thing at bestbuy

  • I love the doubled battery life. Though, when I got my 3DS, I just purchased the battery itself and having been using what was once my new 3DS with just that battery. I've heard complaints about the cradle for the Nyko Battery Pack so I use my 3DS AC adapter to charge it and it doesn't not seem too long to me despite not having as many amperes as the cradle.

  • People fail at taking out screws..... we can invent cars, planes, jets, but we will fail daily on the common screw. Why Oh why dont people turn to the left and strip them?

  • some people say it blocks wifi, and street pass.

    I have 2 ancient routers at work and home. Wireless G! And N. Works fine on both. I have no issues. I woul estimate about 10 hrs on my battery with power save, no wireless, and low brightness.

    About 6 with everything on. Not bad at all.

    I cant play anymore than 2 hrs anyway bcuz I get bored

  • you want to know whats funny the vita has 2 3rds of the 3DS battery life.

  • @zackpack13 lol

  • @GrantPHenry God Bless You! How much does the battery last for? I mean, I have migranes so I'm only playing in 3D for 30 mins and then 1 and a half hours normal. Is that enough? Also, how often do I charge it and how long do I charge it the first time I use it?

  • So do I take the battery out of the 3DS, put it in the NYKO dock and charge it for 8/12 hours or so I charge it while its plugged into the 3DS and on the official dock? Please Help

  • @MuzzaHukka you install the battery and plug the power cable into the 3DS on the first charge. Don't use the dock.

  • @GrantPHenry do i need the nyko cradle??? can i charge it without it??

  • @GrantPHenry Is there a down side in using the dock on the first charge? I charged it on the dock before the installation then I played it till it died. Now the battery meter is saying it isn't charged. My second charge is using the cord though. Should I just exchange it for a new one since it's only been a day?

  • Which way did you turn the screws ive been trying for the last 2 days and i just seem to be striping them.

  • @TRINVIDEO Lefty Loosy.

  • @GrantPHenry i finally got it on today, but i stripped one of the screws and i had to rip out the back cover then use pliers to turn it, scratched up the 3ds a bit :(. 3DS seems to be much more fragile than original ds. I rather bigger and more durable than smaller and more fragile.

  • @GrantPHenry Righty Tighty

  • @GrantPHenry can I have your 3ds

  • can I have your 3ds

  • my only complaint with the product is that it kill chance of fitting in a case

  • NOTE: Tools are not incluided in "Human Evolution"

  • It turns out I didn't need the nyko battery because I rarely travel. Unfortunately the sticker on the barcode was starting to come off so I removed the barcode, lol. It looks like I might have to buy the nyko battery after all, lol. Anyways you can still buy a replacement cover for the 3ds right? 

  • @spikybry only if the nyko battery damages the system

  • Does this void your 3DS warranty?

  • I got it but after loosening 3 of the screws the last one got stripped by that screwdriver. What should I do?

  • so where can you buy it?

  • Does this void the warranty?  (Sorry, I didn't watch the whole video.)

  • @mickeymouse12678 They say it would, but there's no sticker to break when you open the back.

  • @GrantPHenry Hmmm... I wonder if there's any other way they could tell...

    I don't have a 3DS, mainly because of the horrible battery life, but I was just curious.

  • cut your nails! by the way waiting for it in europe!

  • Can this damage 3DS? Does nintendo approve the use of pp+ on 3ds?

  • @iArgTom It's not a licensed product, so use at your own risk... I guess. :)

  • Is the bulk annoying for you now? Can it still easily fit in your pocket?

  • @marcster1994 I actually sold my 3DS, but until I did, loved it. :)

  • @GrantPHenry Why would you sell it? There's an avalanche of awesome games coming out now. =P

  • @GrantPHenry WHYD YOU SELL IT?!?!?

  • @GrantPHenry Why sell something you loved? Is it because it broke, I mean you could have got it repaired or extended warranty!

  • @MuzzaHukka I stopped loving it. It ruined a 2 hour session of OOT and that was the last straw. I stopped playing Ghost Recon entirely. And that WAS the replacement unfortunately.

  • So does this help with the battery?

  • @sukhdevss Doubles the battery life

  • @sukhdevss Why'd you sell it?!?!

  • Hi there, I'm wondering if it works with a non-US 3DS, with the voltage differences and stuff. Sorry I'm not too good with electronics

  • @tactK Great question, but unfortunately I have no idea. I'd post on Nyko's Facebook page and ask.

  • @tactK It does work. I guess you have a PAL UK console like me. I have a british 3DS and it works excellently!!! II also bought a NSTC/J (Japanese) console with an additional battery (2x Batteries 1x NYKO dock) . Only thing is that you can't charge two 3DSes at a time and they only sell additional batteries so you can't get a new dock!

  • @MuzzaHukka Yeah I do have a PAL console and it's really good to hear that the battery works!

  • the reason your battery is so short is cause you slam and bang your 3ds around

  • CAN YOU USE THE ZELDA CASE  WITH IT?????

  • The problem I had is that the screwdriver that came with the battery wasn't small enough. I was able to find a smaller one in an eyeglass repair kit I got at Chicago's O'Hare airport that worked great.

  • Does this reset anything on the 3DS like the clock?

  • I'm planning on getting the Executive Case for my 3ds. Does anyone know if getting this would limit space or not? Thanks!

  • I don't think the 3DS battery life is that terrible I think I can deal with 5 hours! I just turned the brightness down to 2

  • Dude, you really smack your expensive technology. But other than that, great video!

  • Do you need the charging base? How do you recharge the batteries with the 3ds? I have never owned a DS handheld but I do plan on buying the 3DS when the price drops.

  • @FireGuyX You don't need the charging base, but you can't use the original base that comes with the 3DS. So you have to just plug the power cable in.

  • @GrantPHenry Do you recommend the dock?

  • I prefer to play games like Mercenaries while my ds is on the stand. Because it adds some more grasp to it and its easier to hold while pushing the shit out of ur buttons

  • Hi guys, In the instructions, it shows that you must twist to the right to remove the screws at the beginning, but in the video, he twisted to the left. I'm having a lot of trouble in installation, can you help me out?

    Thanks

  • @SaltyDoughnut Yeah - lefty loosy - like all screws. Hold your hand steady and push a little harder so you don't strip the screws. Good luck!

  • @GrantPHenry i got all 3 of them, but ended up stripping one screw and now i can't get it out... what should i do?

  • @SaltyDoughnut No idea. Go Googling.

  • hey! great video!!! btw, how much time spends this new battery to charge to 100% again? (sorry for my bad english)

  • Will this fit in the Zelda Crystal Armor?

  • Ewwwwww Cut Your Nails

  • @GrantPHenry so all you did was call up nintendo, said that ur 3ds froze and you practically got a free 3ds?

  • @genkisudo154 NO. They sent a replacement and I just hadn't sent the bad one back yet.

  • if you ever bought a sony laptop, you'll think 3DS battery life isn't so bad after all... lol

  • @NoThatFamous lol im reading your comment with a Sony Vaio and i totally agree with you

  • so Grant, how is it working now after 3 months?... I want to buy a 3ds with the nyko but I want to hear some feedback first.

  • @AndresLeay Works great!

  • to make this vid really funny is click on the cc button on the bar where you change the volume and stuff then click on transcribe audio and then sit down and relax and alot of crap will come up its hillarious i did it in the last vid and it said well doen you did the penis size small well doen even though jeremy ment soemthing else it hillarious do this with all vids you find boring its brilliant

  • Wait is this battery a Lithium Polymer? Because that kind of battery can explode O_O

  • how much game play howers does it have???

  • Dude best unboxing starting ever.

    "Hello everyone am name is Grant and I just bought this thing" XD

  • Does this void warranty?

  • the battery life lasts about 5 hours for me if i put the brightness to 1 and have power saving mode on.

  • So this won't do anything to your 3DS right? (erasing data, etc.)

  • my 3ds keeps randomly shutting off. i haven't dropped it or anything its like the battery is dieing when its fully charged. i turn it back on and it shuts off before the screen turns on after like 5 minutes it works fine. and the red light saying its charging only stays on for like 10 seconds. can anyone help me?

  • when you said your first 3ds froze, did you just tell nintendo that it froze or did you have to send it?

  • @genkisudo154 Yeah told them it was freezing.

  • A worse battery life is the GP2X Wiz, it's like half an hour before recharge, and it needs a USB port, no wall outlet

  • I just grabbed the CTA 3DS grip and it works like a dream--I would grab this Nyko battery but I have doubts about whether this device would work with that device. I guess I'll hold off until somebody combines the two (grip/charger). This was a damn good review, though. I'm impressed.

  • @d21lewis They have, Nyko makes 2 different grip/charger combos

  • I FUCKIN LOVE YOU

  • is there a 3ds protector that also fits the Nyko battery?

  • Comment removed

  • I stripped the screws :P... Guess I'm screwed

  • I'm so pissed! Mine didn't fit the 3DS properly and I'm leaving on a long trip tomorrow. Ughhh. Why do I always get the deffective shit?

  • So after about 2 1/2 months - how is it holding up?

  • @coldfusion167 It works great! Especially since OOT just came out. :)

  • @GrantPHenry imagine playing OOT for only 2.5 hours...i would dieeeeee!!!!

  • Hi I'm Grant and I just bought this thing.lol

  • does it work/

    

  • @deevo117 yeah i agree with you completely. Sorry, my comment made it look like I was saying this longer battery is useless.More battery life is always important even if the battery lasted 10 hours, making it last even longer would always be better. I'm going to get this when I buy my 3DS and this was defiantly a bad vid to post my comment . I was just saying guys who do reviews always say "has no battery with3D effects on" and was just saying turn it off when you need more battery lol

  • Not just this video in particular, but people need to stop complaining about the battery life! If you need the battery to last a long time then turn the damn 3D effects off and turn the light town a notch or two. Jesus!

  • @JacktheBrown

    Well Obviously that makes it better, but even with everything turned down and with power saving mode on, the battery life is still short of 5 hours, which for an extensive trip or total on-the-go playability is actually pretty terrible. With this added pack the battery lasts 5 and a half hours with 3D, Wireless, and Brightness settings maxed out.

  • @JacktheBrown The consumer has the right to complain about the battery life considering they PAID for it.

    Why should people have to turn off the 3D effect just so they can save some battery life?? the 3D is the systems main selling point.

    Nintendo fucked up, simple.

  • dude nothing should happen if you take the battery out and put the power pack in in less than ten seconds
