Really? Thats some great info, thanks. but if i put my dsi on for the 3rd lighting setting would it last at least 6 hours?MetaKnight50

Yes, apparently it will last 6 - 9 hours on the third brightness setting.

There are many things that are good about the dsi.

1) Camera

2) Bigger screens

3) Thinner (i think)

4) Sd slots

Yeah, those a pretty good things people would be looking foward to. The GBA slot, i can live without, but the battery life is bad.

The NDSL has a battery life of about 19 hrs, the dsi, not so bad: 9 HOURS!!! im not sure if i can acomplish much in 9 hours. I thought the battery life would be like 12 or 13, but not 9. Whats the next ds gonna have, 5?

If you have any thoughts about this, plz post.

Acually at the lowest brightness setting the dslite lasts for 15 - 19 hours and the dsi lasts for 9 - 14 hours.

the dsi also has 5 different brightness settings compared to the dslite's 4 which means that at the highest brightness setting (brighter then the dslite) the dsi will last 3 - 4 hours, however if you put the dsi at the maximum brightness of the dslite the dsi will last for 4 - 6 hours compared with the dslite's 6 - 8 hours.

And of course these numbers depend on wifi usage,camera usage (which the dsi has 2 of , and thats a BIG battery hog),and a variety of other factors.
