@gcunit I mean, I don’t have any rechargeable double A’s cause the only thing I can think of that takes them is my tv remote and those things last years...I definitely do see your point though. This battery mod allows you to play and charge simultaneously so I think that’s the main appeal for it

@SmartNickname I know the article was referencing the gameboy dmg model but I was talking about the gba, my mistake. They’re available for gba as well and the clean juice paired with a newer backlit ips screen makes those games look better than ever. I don’t know, I never had any gameboy model as a kid and I like tinkering with electronics I find this stuff really awesome

I think the whole “clean juice” thing is referencing the fact that you’re not using up disposable batteries that you toss when you’re done and end up in a landfill.

@SmartNickname some people like collecting and modding/DIY on these “obsolete” consoles. If you wanna play these games the best way to do it is on original hardware so there’s no emulation. Mods like this just make it more convenient

I have these for 2 gbas that I rebuilt/upgraded. Super easy to install, literally pops right in and charges through usb c. It’s really nice to not have to worry about batteries for those consoles anymore. Also, anyone in the US who wants one can get it at handheldlegend.com, who are partnered with retrosix. Check them out, they have a good amount of replacement parts and upgrades for the older handheld collectors out there
