I bought this battery charger for my 10 day trip to Scotland, and it does work very well. 2 complete recharges from 4 Radio Shack brand AA batteries. The only hindrance to this unit is that it's modular. Instead of making the device with one durable wire from the charger to the DS Lite, it has a break in the wire to attach another smaller wire that connects to the DS. This obviously is to make it adaptable for multiple systems via different adapters and to cut manufacturing costs. So if this charger is for a younger child who has a knack for misplacing or loosing smaller parts, you may want to hang onto the charger during long trips because without the adapter, the charger is useless. It's a shame that this handy device was short changed by the adapter. Cut corners by Gomadic are why I give the DS Lite Battery Charger 4 out of 5 stars.
Just like a normal AC adapter.
Didn't have any problems with the tip. If you're worried about loosing it. A piece of electric tape will solve that problem.It works great but the tip comes off very easily so I used electrical tape to fix the problem.I love this product!!! I already have the AC adapter with other tips for my Sony Reader and getting this lets me use both the AC adapter and the emergency charger with either my Sony Reader or my DS Lite!!!! The exchange tips are the way to go and you can get extra tips from Gomadic and they are very professional and helpful!!!
Great price too!!!On a recent trip to Australia, this gizmo helped me preserve my sanity over 20+ hours of travel. It's compact, light and gives you at least two full recharges off a set of standard AA batteries. I can't yet speak to its durability, but the materials feel on the cheap side, which is the only reason I'm not giving this product five stars. That said, the price point is reasonable so even if I had to replace this charger in another trip or two, I would likely get the same one.
