Wii U Gamepad Battery, Wii U Accessories 3600 mAh Wii U Battery Replacement Rechargeable Battery Pack Compatible for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad WUP-010, WUP-012

Not sure why, but the original Wii-U gamepad battery is tiny. The battery compartment however is designed to take these much larger batteries. After many years, my gamepad was down to like 15 minutes of runtime. With the new battery, I actually have no idea how long it lasts because it lasted the whole weekend of gaming I did up at the cabin.

Easy replacement. Replaces original 1500 mAH Wii U battery & fits perfectly mounted horizontally. It may have arrived partially charged as it charged quickly. No comment yet on longevity. The included tiny screwdriver is a throw away & nearly useless. It's too small to get any leverage on the very tight screws & was ruined in the process. Screws were finally removed with a larger handled micro Phillips screwdriver. Recommended.

This is ridiculously easy to install. It comes with the screwdriver. You just fully remove the back (just screws holding in place. No wires. No issues) then stick this one in and close it up. I have the oldest model of Wii U. I ordered it as soon as orders became available. This battery fit in and worked with mine with no issue.It’s great. It charges quickly. I know I’m in the minority, but I love the Wii U and used to kill the battery all the time. I love the enhanced battery life of this unit.

The first battery I received was well-packaged but unfortunately didn’t hold a charge at all. I contacted Amazon, and they quickly sent me a replacement, instructing me to discard the defective one. It was great not having to deal with the hassle of returning it, and the new battery has been perfect!Installation was super easy—just loosen two screws, unplug the old battery, insert the new one, and tighten the screws. I saw some other reviews mention that the battery didn’t fit properly, but I had no issues at all. There was plenty of room, and everything fit as expected.The longest we’ve used it without charging was at least 10 hours, and it still had a good amount of battery left. I place the gamepad on the dock at night, and it lasts the entire next day without needing a recharge until bedtime. My kids are thrilled they can play whenever they want now. Definitely worth the purchase!

My Wii U Gamepad wouldn't hold a charge for more than a minute or so, and so I had to keep my Gamepad plugged in to use it. That creates a huge hassle when trying to play Wii U games since I'm tethered to the charging cord.I bought this replacement to hopefully fix that. It wasn't until I opened up the Gamepad to install this new battery that I saw that the cells inside the original battery had burst and so the plastic case of the OG battery was bulging, though the plastic was unbroken, so no leakage had occurred.This battery lasts forever compared to how long the battery lasted when my Wii U and Gamepad was new.It's a great buy if you need a new Wii U Gamepad battery!

This battery worked for a little while... kind of. When I first installed it, it seemed to power the gamepad, but it did cause the gamepad's charging light to occasionally blink. I thought that as long as it worked, I could live with a sometimes blinking light. However, I guess this was a sign that something was wrong.After a few uses, I found that the battery was dead and it would not charge. Thinking that maybe the battery wasn't fully plugged in, I opened the battery door and unplugged and replugged it several times but with no success. It simply would not charge anymore (if it ever did in the first place).Of course, I discovered this problem right after the return window ended, so I guess I'm out of luck. Maybe I just got unlucky and received a defective unit, but it seems the seller may need to work on quality control. :-(

I got this as a replacement for my aging battery in my Wii U Gamepad. It had been running out in a couple of hours, very annoying when you're in the middle of a game. I got this replacement in part due to its capacity, and WOW - I can play all evening now, and still have some charge left! And swapping it out was SO easy, my 11 yo granddaughter could have done it (with minor supervision). It fit perfectly, just rotated 90 degrees from the original battery - NB. It's been in place for a week now, played daily, no issues. Totally recommended.

The new battery really improved my Wii U GamePad’s battery life—before, it drained so quickly I had to keep it plugged in. Now, I can play without constantly charging. The only downside was the included tools, which were terrible. I ended up using an eyeglass repair kit from Dollar Tree instead. Still, the battery works great, so I’m happy overall!
