Charging the Battery

Basics	Do not use the Nintendo DSi AC Adapter during a lightning storm.
WARNING
	There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning.

•Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has not been used in the last 6 months.

Battery recharge time is approximately 3 hours, although this will vary depending on the remaining charge when you begin to recharge the battery. You can play games while the battery is charging, but this will increase the recharge time.

When fully charged, the battery will last from 13-17 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting, depending on the type of game activity. See page 15 for information on adjusting the screen brightness. On the brightest setting, the battery life is 4-5 hours. See the table below.

•If the recharge indicator LED is not lit, make sure the AC Adapter is connected properly to both the system and the outlet.

•If the recharge indicator LED is blinking, there is a chance that the battery pack is not installed correctly. Check to make sure installation is correct (see page 17).

NOTE: If you play a game while the system is recharging, the recharge indicator LED may not always turn off once charging has completed. This is not a malfunction.

Using the wireless communications or camera features may reduce the battery time to less than the figures shown to the right.

NOTE: The default system setting is configured to the “High” setting.

Highest	Approx. 4-5 hours
High	Approx. 6-8 hours
Medium	Approx. 9-11 hours

The battery can be recharged approximately 500 times, but performance may decrease after repeated recharges, depending on usage conditions such as temperature. Optimal charging temperature is between 41º and 95º Fahrenheit (5-35º Celsius). Battery life may also decrease over time.
