    Are you sure it's the battery that's dead, and not the charger?

    If it's the battery, it's usually cheaper just to buy a new system. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Not really. Batteries for handheld systems like the DS Lite are generally cheap (the 3rd party ones that is). But from what she said, I think it's the charger, and replacing it is even cheaper. You can go to dx.com (I hope this is allowed :-s), they sell tons of replacements and other stuffs for the DS and the shipping is free.

    DS Lites go for $10 or so nowadays. Almost brand-new. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    The batteries tend to be more expensive.

    Seriously? Who sells those?:eek: I want one. Mine is kinda broken. Anyway, the battery costs only around $3 (which lasts about half the time the original battery does).
