hey everyone i recently posted a message about wat game i should get either ff revenant wings or ff ring of fates and i bought revenant wings. its cool too. so i bought that game and a ds charger because i lost my other charger.

i bought the charger from fred meyers and its a pelican charger, a pelican product or somthing.

and it says in the back of the case that if my ds breaks they can repair it or something, i wish i just bought the official ds charger. but it is a universal charger that can charger a ds and a gameboy sp with an original sp charger and u connect a ds charger to the tip of the sp charger. i heard some sound coming from the ds charger does it meen its too powerful? can it break it?

all I know is universal charges that have different watts or options of power can Fry computers in the computer cord market but for Ds I would be careful if I where you id get a Ds official charger to be safe and save yourself from forking future cash to fix it.

I would just get the charger from Nintendo. I know that third party charges are supposed to work with it but when a Nintendo charger cooks something you deal with Nintendo and it's replaced. When you deal with a third party you have to jump through hoops.

Here's the adapter for the DSLite from Nintendo

It's also on sale from Amazon right now

That's if you have a DSLite of course

If this is the Pelican company that I am thinking about then they make very durable and reliable products, with lifetime warrantys. However, if you're still worried just go to any local videogame store and they should sell official DS chargers for a mere $14 (Canadian, so probably $13.50 American :P)

I have an official charger and a computer charger

If you wanted you could probably be able to find a DS case like mine which has a USB charger (you just plug into computer and plug into DS) mine cost $20 dollars Australian so yhou ould probably find it for $15 dollars american

P.S. the case came with two slots for DS games, two slots for GBA games, a powerwave stylus and a normal stylus and a place to hold your DS (of course)

I have an official charger, but I broke it, and I would have bought an unofficial one if I didn't read this!

Thanks
