Charging a brand new ds lite

When I bought mine, I didn't charge it as the first thing. I turned it on and started playing. Will that create some problems later on? Because I'm not noticing any charging or power problems with mine yet.

Playing before charging it for a good 12 hours can effect the charge the battery can hold. I get a good 12 hours of life out of mine before having to recharge. If your not getting a good 12 hours out of yours maybe your one of the ones who didnt do the initial 12 hour charge.

Pretty much everything that comes with a rechargable battery these days requires a good first charge. When I bought a new mobile phone they made a point of telling me in the store.

Also it takes a few discharge recharge cycles for the battery to reach its max capacity.

Wait , you're telling me that the DS lite has a maximumlife of 12 hours even with full charge ? I don't think so . I've had my DS lite for about 4 months now . And with my brightness at Lvl2 pretty much all the time , I'm sure that my DS lasts for more than 12 hours before I have to charge it again .

My DS Lite hasamazing battery life o__o At least 10 hours on second highest brightness, and that's probably a low estimate. I should time it next time I charge.

Anyways, I also charged it before I played it, because it conditions the battery.

Thanks, but does anyone know for sure or even have proof? ^^Flexehlol
