Hey guys I was wondering if there is a simple replacement for the batteries in the Game Gear officaial battery packs. I have two kinds and both don't even offer a hint of a charge.
Attachment 8863
and
Attachment 8864
I was hoping that there would be some new style battery that lasts much longer that'll fit in there.
Thanks guys!
The first type ordinary rc nicad battery fits (7.2v). Think Tamiya etc. Needs plug change from memory.
I have 2 of the top one that doesn't keep a charge also
Any Pics to see how to replace it a better one?
Does this help..?

I didn't watch the whole video but this may get the pack working again.
It didn't take a rocket science degree in engineering to search youtube for these videos.
Your comment above makes me think like the first link was not enough to help you out but then again everyone reads comments a different way.
I tend to agree.
I have 2 GG Battery Pack
How long can I charge it for?
Does it have to be On or Off?
Does it light up when it charges? I forgot
Again, How long can I keep the Battery Pack in Charging?
This Youtube Video may answer your question.Quote:

I have two of these at home. Both need the battery pack replaced but I kept the module. I have just been using rechargeable batteries in mine and it works for now.
When I get a little extra money I may replace the pack in one of the battery units to have a working one but for now rechargeables do the job.
I've also go this one weird pack that basically are two big bulges you put into where the batteries go as well. It makes the game gear surprisingly easier to grip since you have more to wrap your fingers around. Unfortunately they are dead as a doornail now, but I still keep them around since they are kind of cool.
I sill have a charge in one of them
The other one has a loose Jack, So I can't charge it
Hi guys when i get some time i will make a how to video.
Thanks buddy!Quote:

Depends on the screen. I replaced the standard screen with an lcd + tims gg tv convertor and it used more power than the stock screen. Looks awesome with SMS games though.
I am still to redo the gg with the ndsi backlight.
Finally did a battery replacement on my Game Gear pack, seems to work fine after just taking out the old one and dropping in the new one.
