I just bought a brand new Nintendo DS Lite. How long do I charge it for?

Answer 1

The D'S Lite comes Prue-charged with a little bit of battery life in it. This is for if customers want to test out the console when buying. This Prue-charged battery life lasts around 1 to 2 hours. You may opt to go ahead and charge your console before or after the Prue-charged battery life runs out. Either way, charging time is just 3 hours. When charging is done the light indicator will go off indicating that your unit is now fully charged. Unlike other electronic devices that I've come across, such as cellphones, there is no initial charging of 10 hours or whatever hours needed. Just the recommended 3 hours standard charging time.

Answer 2

u should charge it until the light located near the top of ds lite changes from orange/red to green again! then u know itz fully charged! hope this helps!

Answer 3

It takes about 2 hours to fully charge a dead DS. Just keep an eye on the light when it turns green its done!

Answer 4

Id say 8 to 12 hours for initial charge before using. Usage before full inital charge may alter battery life later on

Answer 5

I only charged my for 3hrs, till the orange lite went out. I have not had any problems with the battery since and have had mine since the lites came out.

Answer 6

I think you have to charge till the light turns green, but i have been told to charge it for at least 10 hrs initially.

Answer 7

6 hours for the beginning.
then 2 hours everytime u need to

Answer 8

12 hours or until the yellow light goes out.

Answer 9

Aslong you want.
