Pickle Power Wii U Gamepad Battery, 4300mAh Wii U Battery Replacement for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad WUP-010 WUP-012

So I had the official Nintendo extended battery in my Wii U pad since around when Xenoblade Chronicles came out. That would last like 7 hours playing that game back then. Fast forward to recently and the gamepad would last a little over an hour playing simple things like DS virtual console games before dying. To be fair it’s been on the charging dock 24/7 for a decade plus so it was a matter of time before the battery degraded. I was looking for a solution since an hour is outrageous. I saw this and read the reviews. I figured I couldn’t do worse right? Sucks not having the official battery but mine is basically dead anyway so why not? Wow am I impressed. It tells you to use it until it dies but mine already came depleted. I charged it up all the way and the next day I tested it out. I played the same game I’ve been playing with the old battery. I played almost 5 hours and when I check battery life, it still read a full 4 bars! I’m aware it’s only been a few days or so but that’s mighty impressive. I have never seen it go below 4 bars ever. This solved my issue immediately. I can’t believe how well it performs. Yes the plug is hard to insert but just put a little force. You’ll be fine. It did not create a bulge in the back on mine as I’ve read as well. If you’re used to the regular battery it will make the gamepad heavier, but I like my controllers with a little heft. Super recommend. Don’t deal with a dead or dying battery. Get that swapped out for this asap. Couldn’t be easier.

As the other reviewers, plug a bit stiff, but went in with little effort. Fits well, holding charge after several weeks.

Battery is is good. Easy to install. Lasts longer than original battery. Good value for your money. Fit perfectly. Charges in a short time.

I think the best battery here. I find it takes like 7-8 hours to charge but then you also get that amount or gametime

Works well, would definitely recommend.
