How Do You Determine When A Nintendo DS Lite Battery Needs To Be Replaced?
To determine when a Nintendo DS Lite battery needs to be replaced, all you need is the game system and a watch. There are two reasons that the battery will need to be replaced-normal wear and tear on the battery or exposure to liquids or moisture. Establish a brightness level at which you will test the Nintendo DS Lite battery. Do not change the level during the test, as this will mess up the results. Set a usage standard, such as only in single-player, non-wireless mode. Wireless features drain the battery faster, which may give you a false impression about the battery’s ability to hold a charge. Establishing usage levels gives you a benchmark from which you can accurately judge the battery’s ability to hold a charge. Time how long it takes to run the battery low at the given usage level. You don’t need to drain the battery completely, just until the power light on the Nintendo DS turns red. Compare the time it took to run down the battery with the manufacturer’s battery life estimate
