Wii U battery replacement

Posted 21st May 2023
Hi everyone, my Wii U gamepad battery is barely giving an hour or so of gameplay nowadays, I just wanted to ask if anyone has replaced theirs recently? And is there one they would recommend, I have seen some on eBay but I am not too sure as I'd be worried about their safety with them most likely being made in China.

    If you're worried about the safety of batteries made in China then you need to stop using batteries full stop - because guess where they're all made? The original Nintendo one in your Gamepad will have been made in China.

    IFixit sell one with extra capacity - store.ifixit.co.uk/pro…ery
    3600mAh, whereas I believe the original is 1500mAh.
    Made in China though

    I replaced my old battery with this one and it works really well.

    That's why I got rid of my Wii U and bought a switch instead. You haven't been able to buy an official battery for years. (edited)
