bit-tech Shopping: Intec GameCube Battery Pak - Black - G5276

Rating: 2

Time with product: 4 Weeks

Strengths: you can use it as a coaster or a paper weight

Weaknesses: Has memory effect.heavyOnly lasts for about half an hour, not 1 1/2 hours that they claim on the packaging!Provides such little play time, it's not worth carrying the battery around.

Summary: As claimed by intec, each battery provides about 1.5 hours of gameplay. I bought 3 of these battery packs, thinking they'd give me an approximate total of 4.5 hours of mobile gameplay with my gamecube and portable screen. However, after fully charging up all 3 batteries, each battery only gives me about 1/2 an hour of game play, after which it doesn't have enough power to power up the gamecube. What is even more frustrating, is that even after the battery doesn't have enough charge to power up the gamecube, it still contains a small amount of charge which you have to discharge before u can charge the battery again. This is due to memory effect. If you don't discharge it fully b4 charging it again, it'll give even less gameplay time. Really bad purchase. Intect is deceptive. Bad quality. I will never buy another intect product again.
