Buying a battery for the Gameshell

This was all the documentation included in the small white box in which the battery was shipped IMG_20180904_195035 also the battery looked as it did on Amazon but no CE marking

lol! looks very official, that :grin:

If you’re not experiencing any problems with it, your battery is probably fine, and like I said, the CE mark is only compulsory for goods sold on continental Europe (ie not the UK) however, If you do want to try a different battery, the Duracell-made BL-5C is a serviceable substitute.

How’s everyone’s battery life holding up? I’m barely getting an hour now. Lol

How long have you been using it?

Which battery do you have? The official or one you bought yourself?

Official. I have a kickstarter model so I’ve had it for a while haha

I’ve been a member since Aug 1/18 so I’ve almost had it for like a year

Still running strong, however it doesn’t get heavy use.

I ordered these and they seem to work well! Not much better in terms of capacity but it does the trick.

I use it pretty heavily. Lol. I have a retropie but there’s nothing like playing those handheld classics on a real handheld. Maybe I just killed the battery already :man_shrugging:t3:

Let us know how it goes. I’m also interested to see if it’s a suitable replacement

How’s the battery?I’m seriously considering this as well…was hoping I could find an alternative that ships faster

This battery is ok. I like it.

Ah well mine is dying these days … but after the use it has gotten that would make sense. Has anyone found new solutions for battery replacement / larger capacity than already mentioned ? Do I understand correctly that by putting in a bl5c Nokia replacement, no tinkering will be needed ?
