Battery Life
Battery life will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the software being used, the quantity of wireless data sent and received and
the ambient temperature. As such, these times should only be taken as rough estimates. Using the camera features may reduce the battery
time below the gures shown below.
Playing Nintendo 3DS software: approx. 3.5 – 6.5 hours
Playing Nintendo DS software: approx. 6 – 10 hours
The battery life will change depending on the brightness of the
LCD screens. The system is set to “5” at purchase (for information on
changing the brightness levels, see page 40).
Note: Power-saving mode changes the brightness and colour gradient
automatically according to the content being displayed, to extend the
battery life for a longer period of time (for information on how to enable
power-saving mode, see page 40).
Leaving the system in Sleep Mode (page 28) greatly reduces power consumption while leaving wireless communication such as SpotPass and
StreetPass active. If the battery is fully charged, the system can remain in Sleep Mode for 3 days.
Note: The power LED slowly pulses when the system is in Sleep Mode. Some software titles do not allow the system to enter Sleep Mode while in use.
Closing the system while using such software will result in the power LED remaining solidly lit. For example, Nintendo 3DS Sound cannot enter Sleep Mode
during playback.
Note: If the power LED is red, save your game quickly and recharge. If the battery charge runs out before you save, you may lose unsaved data. If the LED is
blue and slowly brightens and dims, the system is in Sleep Mode (page 28), which will conserve battery power.
