Perfect Traveling Add-On's
I purchased this for my daugter's DS after one too many long distant car rides when the DS went dead. It was wonderful for her, and me. It comes with everything she needs to keep playing on the road, and keep the chaos in the car down to a minuim. And, with five kids, this is a real blessing!! The additional UBS cord allows her to plug in anywhere, and the 6ft car charger has ample cord to reach from the 2nd or third row seat. A smart 'after thought' and a wonderful mother's helper. I don't depend on the DS for around town driving, but when we are traveling three hours or more, this travel kit is a must have for the portable game families. It is compatable with her older Game Boy, as well. Can't go wrong with this one.
Do NOT buy for the DS Lite!
I got my DS Lite today and picked up this travel pack for it as well. I charged the DS on the way home and everything was fine... until I went to remove the car adapter. It was stuck. I mean, seriously stuck. So stuck that we thought it was locked in place and we had to press on something to get it out.
We couldn't figure out it for the longest time, even after having my dad, a mechanical engineer, examine it-- the best suggestion he could offer was just to pull incredibly hard. I was so afraid I would break the DS, I didn't want to try it, but finally my boyfriend took a pair of pliers and managed to get it out. My DS is fine, but I will NEVER use that adapter again.
DO NOT BUY!
Dont Buy!!!
Mine got stuck as well...called the company (Pelican) and they wanted me to ship it back to them...I played with it and finally got it unstuck...had to pull really hard...now I am scared to try it again...useless!
Works fine
I haven't used the charger much, but I agree with one of the reviewers that there is this extra bonus flashlight that is amazingly bright. It's literally a big flashlight in one little keychain.
But aside from that, I have the regular DS (the big one) and it works fine with the big one. I haven't encountered any problems with it and I think it's a pretty good deal considering that it's a multi-pack and allows you to charge it both in a CAR and by USB. I've charged it in a car and it works fine. The cable is not too short so you can play while you're charging it in the car or on a laptop. But then again, I don't use this one regularly as a main charger (I use the wall plug one for that). I give it a four b/c it's a car charger ... Read More
Shoddy cable
Within a month of regular use, the USB cable that is the one necessary component of Nintendo DS Lite Travel Power Pack to work, fell apart. Much like the very, very thin cable that Nintendo puts out for the DS LIte, thisvery, very thin cable comes rips open under the lightest possible circumstances. I keep a number of cables and wires on me at all times, and this has never happened with them. Ever. It is truly shoddy merchandise. Unfortunately, it's no better or worse than what Nintendo sells. I am looking for third party products to deal with this expensive hassle. At my current rate of money spend AC adaptor cables, i've paid almost the equivalant of half a DS within four months.
Stay away and look for better quality unless you are prepared to treat that ... Read More
