For a more prolonged gaming experience, the Nintendo DS Video gaming console is now complete with their original DS charger.
What is a Nintendo DS Charger?
The Nintendo DS charger is not used in order to charge the gaming console directly, but it charges the special batteries that came with the unit. The rechargeable batteries are the ones giving power to the Nintendo DS gaming console. You may be able to see different styles of Nintendo DS charger along with the new versions / releases of the gaming console such as the DS lite and the DSi.
Instructions on how to use the Nintendo DS charger
- Connect the Nintendo DS charger with the extension located at the back of the unit.
- Pull the prongs towards you until you hear a snap indicating that the prongs are now in place.
- Plug the Nintendo DS charger into the outlet.
- You will know that the Nintendo DS charger is working if the orange light indicator lights up.
- Maintain a minimum of four hours charging time to get your batteries fully charged.
- But if you want to use your Nintendo game console while charging, you may also do so.
Nintendo DS Lite Charger:
The charger for this unit is very much like the first release. It also features a pull out prongs and the battery of the DS lite can work as long as nineteen hours with a very minimal use. The batteries of the DS lite have a longer life compared to the first release which can only last up to a maximum of 10 hours.
Nintendo DSi charger:
With the newest release of Nintendo, the Nintendo DSi is also equipped with a newer version of the charger as well. The batteries of the DSi are a lot shorter than the other one but have more power in terms of battery life.
Nintendo DS charger for the car
Well if you still don’t know this, Nintendo also released a Nintendo DS charger that can be used for the car. You can plug the Nintendo DS charger to the car’s cigarette lighter outlet to charge your unit. This is very useful especially for long driving with kids. Kids get bored during a long drive and they can surely give you a headache when you are trying to keep them still. But with a Nintendo DS charger for the car, you are sure to have a quiet and peaceful trip with kids busy with their game.
A Nintendo DS charger is always included in the box of your unit during purchase. But just in case the Nintendo DS charger gets busted along the way, you can still buy it separately from an authorized outlet for Nintendo.
Try not to get the ones that are not originally made by Nintendo. I am pretty much sure that you know that selling of fake items for gadgets such as this can be easily bought in the black market at a much lower price. The thing here is – it may not work as efficient as the real one, and it may also cause damage to your unit.
