FAQs

Rechargeable
How do I charge my GBA after installing PowerUp Advance?

PowerUp Advance can be charged with a USB‑C charging cable (v2.0) or microUSB charging cable (v1.2) connected to a typical 5V USB wall adapter (as long as it provides at least 500mA), like those used by cell phones and other electronics.

Gameboy

Additionally, you can charge PowerUp Advance from a computer by plugging the cable into a powered USB port. Only use with a 5V (or USB‑C Power Delivery) charger that can provide at least 500mA! Using other chargers may cause damage to the charger, PowerUp Advance, or both.

You can play your Game Boy Advance while it’s charging.

Installing PowerUp Advance requires simple modifications to your Game Boy Advance battery compartment, namely removing a metal battery clip and a small amount of plastic. This trimming is necessary to ensure the rechargable battery fits neatly, without pinching wires or shorting itself. Also, you can optionally trim a notch in your battery cover for easy USB port accessibility. We recommend using an aftermarket shell because they are cheap and readily available online. You can see an example of what needs to be trimmed by looking at our guide and video.

Absolutely! If, for any reason, you want to revert back to using AAs, simply remove PowerUp Advance, replace the metal clip that was removed when trimming the battery compartment, and pop in your AAs. Even without the plastic that was trimmed off from your battery compartment, your AAs will still make full contact to power your Game Boy Advance.

Why GBA? Are you planning kits for other consoles?

The original Game Boy Advance (AGB‑001) is favored by many Nintendo fans for its combination of ergonomic form factor and wide game cartridge compatibility. It’s also an extremely popular choice for backlit screen mods (i.e. replacing its screen with an AGS‑101 backlit LCD), making it worthy of our focus as the first recipient of our battery mod kit. We don’t currently have plans to support other handhelds, but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t do it. If you’d like to see a similar device for a different handheld, let us know!

[Alan] procured a few Game Boys from a Yahoo auction with the intent of using them for some other projects, but one of the Game Boys was shipped with a very corroded battery which had eaten up one of the terminals. When [Alan] had repaired it, he was left with a Game Boy with no battery terminal at all, so he decided to splice in some lithium-ion batteries.

Not only does the Game Boy now have a new battery pack, but [Alan] was able to source a USB charger to handle the batteries’ charging needs. However, he realized that his battery pack was 3.7 volts, while the Game Boy only needed 3 volts. To lower the voltage of the battery pack to the required voltage, [Alan] grabbed a 1N4148 diode and put it in series with the battery pack, which also helps prevent any accidental reverse polarity.

This isn’t the most technically advanced Game Boy hack we’ve ever seen but it’s great to see new life breathed into these classic video game systems. Not to mention that [Alan] saved some lithium batteries from the landfill!
