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 – 5.5 hours

Playing Nintendo DS software: approx. 5 – 9 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 35).

Leaving the system in Sleep Mode (page 24) 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,

even if the sleep switch is moved to the right. Enabling Sleep Mode 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 24), which will conserve battery power.
