* LEAPFROG LEAPSTER EXPLORER RECHARGER - charging station, rechargeable batteries pack & AC power adapter

The Recharger Eliminates Leapster Explorer's Battery Consumption

Imagine how many batteries your kid's Leapster Explorer is going to eat over its lifetime. When you buy the Leapster Explorer recharger you can eliminate battery consumption.

What's In The Box

When you unbox your new Leapster Explorer recharger you will find:

• A charging station
• An AC adapter
• A rechargeable battery pack

Take off the battery case on the back of the Leapster Explorer, and instead of stuffing it full of AA batteries, you simply screw in the rechargeable battery pack. Then nestle the Explorer, complete with battery pack in the charging station and plug the unit in with the AC adapter. In four hours time the Leapster Explorer will be fully charged.

The product details claim that one full charge gives up to 11 hours gaming time, but customers claim the battery lasts even longer:

"The recharging station comes in handy and the battery last for about 3-5 days with about 3-6 hours of use each time, so it last about a total of 24-27 hours of use." - Rudy Torres, Amazon Customer Review

Instant Plug And Play With AC Adapter

You can also use the AC adapter to directly plug in to the Leapster Explorer for instant power and play. So when you unbox this charger, there's no need to leave your kid staring at the Explorer while it charges - simply plug the gamer in with the AC adapter and they can play right-away, then use the recharger after bedtime.

The Recharger Pays For Itself

The recharger retails between $40 and $50. Since the Explorer uses four AA batteries at a time it won't be long before your Explorer recharging kit has paid for itself.

For a cheaper alternative take a look at the AC adapter available to buy separately. With the adapter your child can play battery-free so long as they sit near a power outlet - perfect for kids who like to sit in a favourite place while they play.

Better Than Ni-Cad Rechargeable Batteries

Leapfrog customer help do not recommend using rechargeable batteries with the toys. To maintain their charging capacity these batteries should be fully discharged before recharging. However, as the batteries run low on power there will be insufficient charge to power the Leapster, and the console will switch off. As you will be repeatedly recharging batteries that have not fully discharged, the useful life of the rechargeable batteries will gradually shorten, leading to shorter periods of play before recharges.

From Leapfrog Customer Help:

"So, in essence, no damage will come to your toy by using the Ni-cad batteries other than a lowered functional life between the times you have to charge the batteries".
