I'm not sure about ds battery but I know for allot of other devices your suppose to use the battery right up before you charge it, or else it gets stuck (or burnt) in some kind of short cycle at the beging of the battery and cant use the whole length anymore.Lithium (newer) batties are the opposite... It's actually WORSE to fully drain them.
I heard this a long time ago maybe battery's are better now?

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]in the manual it says it only has about 500 charges or so before the battery starts to loose power, so i let it go to the red then charge it.. i dunno if thats wrong.l0veThat is completely correct. Charge it only when its red otherwise it will wear out faster. The less charges the better. Charging the battery whenever especially when its unnecessary wears out the battery at a big rate. No it doesn't. 500 chages means 500 charge cycles. Example: 1 charge cycle = from flat to full OR from half to full + from half to full again. So if you used a 7th of you ds's battery every day for a week and charged it every night, that would be one charge cycle and thus only 1/500.
