Backstory:

I’m looking for Christmas 🎁 ideas for myself to share with my spouse. I have a 512 SD that I purchased a couple months ago all original. It was to replace my modded 3DS that I used for emulation. Well I have thoroughly enjoyed my SD and have been playing games I never thought I would play eg. Steamworld Dig and Dying Light are my current go tos.

Issue: I solely play in handheld mode. This is not an issue while playing games like Steamworld Dig because I could play a couple days in one charge but Dying Light is another story. I’m not exactly sure how long the battery last but I would estimate around 2 hrs.

  1. Does performance change when running on external battery pack?

Solutions/Your suggestions: I think my best solution is to get a battery pack that will attach to the SD itself.

  1. So what’s a good battery pack that won’t break the bank but will work for my needs?

  2. What’s your go to docking station? I could use this some but will probably use handheld the majority of the time.

PS 4. I know the SD battery is around 5500 maH so would a 1100 maH double my playtime?

    The baseus 65 watt battery pack was the one everyone was recommending a while back, not sure if there are better options no.

    You might also consider just getting another charger with a longer cable if you play near an outlet. Then you don’t have the added weight hanging off the deck.
