No matter how many times I tried, my battery simply wouldn't charge. So, I was forced to use my brother's red GBA SP (which he had long since stopped playing) and eventually I stopped playing my GBA games. I recently got back into Pokemon again, and I was tired of playing on my bro's red GBA SP, so I looked on desertcart for replacement batteries. At the time, this was the cheapest one. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it comes with a Phillips-head screwdriver, so that you can get the back case open. Anyway, I ordered the battery on the 18th, and it came in today. I didn't charge the battery, but it worked for a little while until the battery went red. So, I tried charging it, but the charging light didn't come on. Curious, I decided to run a couple of tests. First, I opened up my bro's GBA SP and charged the battery in that. Charging light came on, it worked fine. Then, I decided to try charging the other battery (the one I had thought went bad) and charged it for 5-10 minutes. I unplugged the GBA and turned it on; it worked fine (but was still low on power.) So, why do I mention this? If your battery doesn't charge, chances are the problem isn't with the battery; it's with the GBA SP. I think what happened to mine is that for some reason the charging mechanism in it doesn't work anymore; I don't know how or why, I don't have much technical knowledge with the GBA SP, but to me that seems to be the problem. Never fear, however; if you have another GBA SP, you can use that to charge the original battery, and when it's done you can place it back in your GBA SP. If you don't have one, then I'm sorry, but you probably will need a new GBA SP. Anyway, should you get this battery? Absolutely; it's a great battery and it works. I'll edit this review in 2 or so weeks about the durability of this battery, but right now everything works great. As I mentioned earlier, it comes with a small screwdriver that will open the back case, so all in all it's a good deal. -Scott P.S. The actual battery looks different then the one displayed here; I'll try to get a picture of it up on here. Also, apparently the company gives a portion of the money earned from selling this product to the Kids in Need foundation, which gives free school supplies to kids in need. Review: Easy to replace and makes a world of difference! - I paid full price for this product. However, I am an avid desertcart reviewer, and as such have read in numerous reviews where other reviewers say they wish that the "discount/free" reviewers would state that up front, so they didn't "waste their time reading something people have been paid to write." As a fellow desertcart customer, I rely on the reviews of others to help me decide whether to purchase a product or not, and would never endorse a product if I did not truly believe in the quality--if I don't like something you're going to know I don't and why. So if you think that these discounted rate purchase reviews are contrived, those from some other reviewers may be, but anything I say is the honest truth. Please like my review if it has helped you decide in any way. Thanks!!! My special needs son loves his game boy advance, but as with any aging tech device, the battery can only be charged so many times. I didn't even KNOW you could buy replacement batteries! We replaced the battery with a minimum of effort and now the charge lasts so much longer than before!!! If you have a GBA you've been nursing along, take my word for it--this is money well-spent! ## Features - longer shelf life - longer play time - 3.7V 600mAh lithium ion rechargeable battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000QJ1NS8 | | Amperage | 2 Amps | | Antenna Location | Game | | Battery Capacity | 600 Milliamp Hours | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,127 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #165 in Game Boy Advance Accessories | | Brand | KMD | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,171) | | Item Dimensions | 5.5 x 3 x 0.4 inches | | Item Weight | 0.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Dekcell | | Model Name | Advance SP | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 3.7 Volts | ## Images ![Game Boy Advance SP Replacement Battery Pack for GBA SP (packaging may vary) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61d7ETZIg-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it just the battery or does it come with the screwdriver too? Whenever I add this product to my cart, it only shows a picture of the blue battery.** A: It is just the battery. I had no trouble replacing it with my own screwdriver. **Q: My gameboy does not save my game's progress anymore :( Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks for your help!** A: Either your game is corrupted from being old/used so much or you need a new Gameboy (is it just a specific game that won't save or is it every game you try and save?) I don't think getting a new battery for your gameboy will help the problem though. **Q: my gameboy keeps flickering green to red, I change it and it works final but in few minutes to keep flicking red to green. could to be a battery probl** A: It's either a bad battery or a dirty/faulty power switch. There are some videos on how to clean the power switch on youtube. Try gently squeezing the area around the switch if it flickers or stops momentarily while squeezing the area it could help you narrow it down. Be gentle because the switch is soldered directly to the motherboard. **Q: Can you use the original charger with the new battery?** A: Rodney, yes, you can use the OEM charger with the new battery ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Battery works; Charging problems not its fault. *by P***D on June 22, 2012* A couple of years ago my blue GBA SP stopped charging its battery.

I would have to carefully toggle the power switch for my Gameboy to turn on. I thought that maybe it was a problem with the battery (the battery wasn't holding a full charge sometimes after charging it) so I decided to order a new battery, hoping it would fix the power problem. As you can see in the pictures, the battery comes with a tiny little screwdriver so you can unscrew the back which holds the battery. I have a picture of what the difference between the original battery and the new one look like and that the new one does in fact fit perfectly. Even though the new battery didn't fix the power switch problem (guess my Gameboy advance sp is finally starting to die on me, though it is over 10 years old) the new battery keeps a charge just fine so at least there's that + the little Phillips head screwdriver is a nice little bonus. ## Frequently Bought Together - Game Boy Advance SP Replacement Battery Pack for GBA SP (packaging may vary) - Ellen Tool Wall Charger for Nintendo Gameboy DS Advance SP GBA - Timorn Full Parts Housing Shell Pack Replacement for GBA SP Gameboy Advance SP (Black Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/182696-game-boy-advance-sp-replacement-battery-pack-for-gba-sp](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/182696-game-boy-advance-sp-replacement-battery-pack-for-gba-sp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
