2 of 2 found this helpful I purchased this battery in May '21 to replace the original battery in my New 3DS which I bought in November '16 (so about 4.5 years old). This replacement battery fit great and did seem to have a longer life that my old battery, but not nearly as long as the OEM battery when it was new. Fast-forward a few months (October), and the replacement battery no longer charges correctly and does not reliably power-up the 3DS - the power LED briefly illuminates, but immediately dies. The only way to keep the 3DS on is to plug it in to the power adapter, then turn it on. Battery shows full charge, but dies shortly after unplugging power. Also, the charge indicator does not always illuminate when plugged in.
I have tried two different original Nintendo batteries (my old original battery and a brand-new battery I ordered directly from Nintendo after this one failed). Everything works correctly with the genuine Nintendo batteries, so this is definitely an issue with this replacement battery.
The listing says this is an original Nintendo OEM battery, but I'm not convinced. Not only is the performance poor, the label on this battery is oriented differently than the OEM battery. On the OEM battery, the "Nintendo" text is along one of the short edges, whereas this battery has the "Nintendo" text along one of the long edges. I just received a brand-new battery directly from Nintendo, and that one matches my OEM battery label perfectly.
I would avoid this battery in the future. It costs nearly the same as a brand-new battery directly from Nintendo, but doesn't perform nearly as well as a genuine Nintendo replacement.
