Leaving a review so people know this is a legitimate product (at least the one I got).
Didn't do any extensive testing or anything but this seemed to fix the issues I was having on my SP with a dead batteryUpdate:So far battery life isn’t bad! After an initial full charge, I played a little Pokémon TCG (GameBoy Color game) here and there and I was also able to just about get through the entirety of Metroid Fusion (3 hour play time) before the red light came on. I didn’t wanna run until I died…
This got here its affordable, and it works like brand new when I first got my GBA SP but better. The original SP battery was 600 mah, this is 850 mah, this last longer than the original battery. And can go for 6-8 hours of gameplay (depending on how much volume you use). I love it and if you have a GBA SP and it needs a new battery come get this one.
I had to through it in the recycling bin because it was dead on arrival (battery was bulging) and I didn't want to risk it blowing up in my face. Not recommended as a replacement.
Pros
Solid replacement battery & that massively useful tiny screwdriver it comes with is adorable!
Cons
May not hold up well against intense gameplay sessions
I did not receive the tool that is supposed to come with this battery, it clearly describes that it’s included. The screw is very tiny so it’s no wonder I can’t find a small enough screwdriver around the house which is why I purchased this set. Extremely disappointing. if I wanted to go out and purchase the tool myself I would have gone out and purchased the battery as well and not have given any business here.
You can't charge it for 12 hours as recommended by sellers. Charge doesn't last, no better than my 20 year battery that came with the gameboy, sorry I can not recommend.
Had an old GBA SP sitting in my desk gathering dust, ordered this and a flash cart and its like new again! Will probably be ordering a new screen as the original screen is fairly dim. But no issues with the new battery!
Pros
My childhood game boy now finally works! Now I can reply my old favorite games (:
Cons
May not provide a significant improvement in overall performance
I bought this a few months ago to put in a gameboy i bought on ebay and so far its held a charge just as well as my other gba that still has its original battery, I can get at least 5 hours but ive never really tested it.
Pros
Battery and screwdriver came packaged in a small white box. Installation took less than a minute.
Cons
Battery may lose its charge over time if not used frequently
This replacement battery works perfectly and was super easy to install. My SP now charges quickly and stays charged for hours of play. Perfect for anyone trying to refurbish an old Gameboy SP.
Pros
What can I say, you get exactly what you paid for. I’m saying that in a good way.
Cons
May require additional tools or accessories for installation
