Great video again! That's a very interesting modification. The benefits of not producing waste, being able to use any phone charger and charging while playing (without losing your progress) outweigh the shorter playing time compared to alkaline batteries by far, in my opinion. By the way - that intro is the best I ever saw on any retro gaming youtube channel.

The only real benefit this thing gives you is that you can plug the USBC in and charge while playing whereas if your batteries die your battery is die. On all my old systems that have a power plug I just use that instead of dealing with batteries at all. I don't play them outside my house so its no big deal to me to be connected to a wall.

I really appreciate that you did a battery life test with the EZ-Flash! I love using my modded backlit GBA to play but if I am using regular batteries and my EZ-Flash I get maybe 2-4 hours out of each set of batteries. I will definitely be investing in a rechargeable battery, especially since it's so much easier to install than I would have thought😄

I have seen other batteries for controllers that come with their own battery door that already has a cutout for the charging so it would be cool if this could come with that. Some of them are all in one unit where the battery door is connected to the battery though that may be too much to ask.

Didn't realize they'd put out a USB-C revision of the battery pack. I've got 4 modded GBAs (3 done myself, the last one bought pre-built from Retro Modding) & they all use the Micro USB connector. I'd ask you to compare the 2 revisions of the battery pack for things like charge time, and any possible battery life differences, but not only do I think they'd be negligible, I also don't think you'd be able to get one of the older battery packs at this point. Now, if only someone would make a rechargeable pack for the GBC that's *THIS* simple to install. I still have my childhood Teal GBC & my grandmothers Purple (Reshelled because no way in HELL was I cleaning out all the baby powder & make-up residue (she kept it in the bathroom)) GBC & I'd like t give them this last upgrade to "Modern" status.

I agree that each has their pros and cons and that built in can be a huge pain. It seems to me that this mod is a best of both (correct me if I'm wrong) since the battery pack looks easily removable and it doesn't look too difficult to add a removable divider (if it is even needed) and put in AA (alkaline or Li-ion). Also correct me if I'm mistaken again but looks like it will fit just as well in a GBC. I'm buying this as I'm typing.

I think batteries gives the optimal peerformance after about ten recharging cycles....so i think that's good.

Can this be modified any way to be used in a Game Boy Color? Because the only option I see there is where you have to solder a charging port to the motherboard have a Game Boy Color

but can you play while it charges a dead battery? That could be a selling feature.. if it works.

The difference between the EZ flash and an official cart is insane. Really makes me wonder if the larger power draw will have a negative effect on the GBA overtime in a similar way that cheaper flash carts can cause damage to other consoles. Great work as always.

In the product information it says “compatible with most of actual phone chargers” but, you know, it is Apple... xD I have decided to buy one of these because my EZ Flash drains my AA batteries way more than I expected lmao.

The permanent marker works because the battery cover is clear, but how would you recommend going about trimming the cover if it's a solid color?

Would a switch usb c charge work with this or would the voltage be too high for it?

I'm not sure how many mAh the RetroModding has, but according to RetroSix, their CleanJuice Battery is 1700mAh. Also, one of the obvious differences between them is that you don't need to remove the battery contacts with the CleanJuice mod. Another thing: if you're thinking of doing an amp mod, RetroSix's CleanAmp should work well with the CleanJuice pack. Since according to RetroSix, the low buzzing sound you hear when you install any amp has something to do with the power conductor ringing. He's currently doing more revisions on the Amp as well to draw less power. But there's also an issue with the current batch of CleanJuice mod. The battery LED on the GBA mobo doesn't show when the battery is already low. So if you plan on buying one, I would hold off on that and just wait until the nest revision is released.
