Deal Details
Nintendo.com has recently restocked Official Nintendo 3DS XL / New 3DS XL Batteries. These were out of stock for a long time before now.

This is MSRP (not a deal) / Just a heads up for those who might be interested in official batteries direct from the manufacturer vs. trying their luck on the third-party market.

Shipping is $6.99 or free on orders of $50 or more (see other accessories [nintendo.com]).

For reference, iFixIt's 3DS XL battery kit [ifixit.com] is $18.99 + shipping and does not include an official Nintendo battery. Third-party alternatives can be found cheaper, but YMMV on performance/quality.

If you haven't already, just soft mod your 2DS/2DS. Any model and firmware can be used now. Takes 20-30 minutes.

Not going to post the link because it'll probably get removed, but it's pretty easy to find with a simple Google search. Please do not follow a video guide since they are outdated quickly. After that, you're on your own to figure out how to get them games, but that's so simple a toddler could figure it out.

IMO, no one should feel guilty over doing such since the eShop is now shut down, plus Nintendo has recently brought indentured servitude back from the dead, so fark em. If unfamiliar, read up on the Gary Bowser case, wild and scary stuff.

I've been considering a new battery for my 3DS, does anyone know the quality of off brand versions on Amazon?

They constantly are on sale for ~$15 with 2 day prime shipping. I wouldn't mind going OEM, but it's not urgent I buy one either.

I got mine from iFixit. I have a hard time trusting Amazon for things like batteries. Just too much questionable stuff on there.

Turns out the last 5 years of "Switch Pro" rumors were based on this news.

If you're referring to Switch Pro Controller it uses the 2DS battery (model CTR-003), not this one.

They need to sell this as DLC for those whose batteries still work a little.
