3DS XL battery life detailed

Nintendo has detailed the battery life of the 3DS XL, which seems to be a modest improvement.

The system will last 3.5 – 6.5 hours playing 3DS titles. While playing DS games, the battery will continue on for 6 – 10 hours.

These levels will vary based on Wi-Fi and brightness settings. It’ll take 3.5 hours for a complete charge.

To compare, the original 3DS battery is estimated at 3 – 5 hours for 3DS titles. Its expected life for DS titles is 5 – 8 hours.
