Wavebird, and rechargable batteries... (1 Viewer)

[Brian Kleinke]

Ok Nintendo has always says not to use rechargable battaries int anything they make that uses batteries. I realize it can damage the screen on a GBA (not sure why though... since you can buy rechargable packs).

But why not on a Wavebird, it can't be because it needs 3.0 volts since a batter will only produce that for maybe the first hour or two of use.

Any ideas? Or anyone that's used em without a problem?

I've used only NiMH batteries on my GBA without incident. Is there a reason why you're not supposed to?

I think because you might get an uneven charge, and it could cause a defect.

At least on the GBA its a load o' crap. NIMH batteries are just fine.

Chris,
I'm pretty sure if your careful with rechargeable ie keep them both at same level the fall off in charge is much better then alkaline batteries.
I think I'm just going to use NIMH batteries, since I think it's foolish to buy new batteries all the time. Is Nintendo in league with the battery companies?
