Tips & Warnings
If you are not buying a replacement battery directly from Nintendo, look for the Nintendo license seal. Products that bear this seal have been approved by the company for use in Nintendo game systems.
Follow the charging guidelines that come with the battery to extend its life. Nintendo recommends a full recharge at least every six months even if you are not using the system during that time.
Use of non-licensed batteries or AC adapters in the Nintendo DS Lite voids the warranty.
Never dispose of rechargeable batteries by burning them. The batteries are volatile in very high temperature conditions and may explode.
