3DS High Capacity Battery
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2017 10:55 pm
I've been having issues with my 3DS (original model) for some time now. When playing a 3DS game, the system will start to show the power is low after only an hour of playtime (low brightness settings, Wifi/Streetpass off) and shut off within minutes of this notification, though sometimes turning the system on and leaving it in sleep mode for a few minutes will cause the system to show 2 bars remain and allow me to use the system for upwards of 30 minutes. Given this odd behaviour, I assume that something is wrong with the battery and thus it will need to be replaced. I am aware that Nintendo sells a replacement battery on their website but that battery only lasts for a maximum of three hours and i'd like to be able to play my 3DS for longer sessions if i'm travelling/not near a wall socket. I have Loopy's capture card installed on my 3DS so I was wondering if there are any high capacity battery replacements for the 3DS that won't cause any complications with the backplate supplied by Loopy/require modifying a new backplate to allow the capture card to be used.
