Charging the Battery
WARNING
• Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has
not been used in the last 6 months.
Battery recharge time is approximately 3 hours, although this will vary depending on the remaining charge
when you begin to recharge the battery. You can play games while the battery is charging, but this will
increase the recharge time.
When fully charged, the battery will last from 13-17 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting,
depending on the type of game activity. See page 15 for information on adjusting the screen brightness. On
the brightest setting, the battery life is 4-5 hours. See the table below.
IMPORTANT: The Nintendo DSi AC Adapter, Model No. WAP-002(USA), is for use only with the
Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL portable video game systems. It is not compatible with
any other Nintendo system. Do not use the AC Adapter with voltage transformers, dimmer
switches, or any other equipment. It is only for use in a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
1. Insert the DC plug from the AC Adapter into the system’s AC
Adapter connector on the back of the Nintendo DSi XL. Be sure
to insert it straight into the connector.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the DC Connector Plug is
facing in the correct direction before inserting
into the connector to avoid damaging either the
plug or connector.
2. Swing the prongs out of the AC Adapter and insert into a
standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
The AC Adapter should be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mounted-position. The cord should
always face downward.
IMPORTANT BATTERY GUIDELINES:
• Do not remove the battery from the Nintendo DSi XL unless it needs to be replaced.
• Do not use any battery other than the Nintendo DSi XL rechargeable battery, Model No.
UTL-003. A replacement battery may be ordered through Nintendo’s website at
store.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700.
• When recharging the battery, use ONLY the included AC Adapter, Model No.
WAP-002(USA).
• When disposing of the battery, follow appropriate local guidelines and regulations.
For information on battery disposal contact your local solid waste authority. See page
17 for more information on battery disposal.
• If liquid comes into contact with the battery, do not reuse it. Call Nintendo Customer
Service at 1-800-255-3700 for further instructions on battery replacement and
possible service to your Nintendo DSi XL.
3. When fully charged, the recharge indicator LED will go out.
• If the recharge indicator LED is not lit, make sure the AC Adapter is connected properly to both the
system and the outlet.
• If the recharge indicator LED is blinking, there is a chance that the battery pack is not installed correctly.
Check to make sure installation is correct (see page 17).
NOTE: If you play a game while the system is recharging, the recharge indicator LED may not always turn off
once charging has completed. This is not a malfunction.
4. Remove the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and fold the prongs back into the housing. Remove the
DC plug from the AC Adapter connector.
IMPORTANT: When disconnecting any plugs from the Nintendo DSi XL or wall outlet, carefully
pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.
The battery can be recharged approximately 500 times, but performance may decrease after repeated
recharges, depending on usage conditions such as temperature. Optimal charging temperature is between
41º and 95º Fahrenheit (5-35º Celsius). Battery life may also decrease over time. After 500 recharges,
battery life may be only 70% of the battery life when new.
Using the wireless communications
or camera features may reduce the
battery time to less than the figures
shown to the right.
NOTE: The default system setting is
configured to the “High” setting.
Do not use the Nintendo DSi AC Adapter during a lightning storm.
There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning.
