Battery Life in CGB

[senor_kiwi]

What kind of battery life do you all get with your CGBs? I mean, I remember having to replace batteries a lot more often, but I have 16 hours of Pokemon logged for this set and it's still chugging away... What about you guys with front lights?

I think the average battery life is between 17-23 hours. I think a frontlit CGB gets about 60% of that battery life.

Where the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* do these made up figures come from? Battery life is pretty much indistinguishable.

I'm just judging from a backlit Game Boy Pocket.

Backlit MGB's have very little change in battery life also
From now I shall be your source of knowledge

Mine finally knocked out at around 24 hours of pokemon, and about an hour of other games... Another factor could be sound, since I don't have a working speaker, I just turn the volume dial all the way down, so there's no power wasted on sound that I don't hear.

Beside that: I lost a badge and 27 levels in total x( I had stopped my paranoid saving, but apparently didn't save normally... I looked at the TV, and back up at the game, and it was blank. Dang.

wow, im late, think this threads dead, anyway, i just last night started a test to see how long a set of new alkaline batteries will last in a gameboy color, so far as of the time of this post its lasted just seven minutes shy of 12hr. have not played it to much during the test though so it might not be to valid... oh well

 

[gamefreak13]

well, its been going about 20hr and 30min, my predictions is it'll conk out at around 24hr.

 

[gamefreak13]

OMG 35 hours!!!

 

[gamefreak13]

OMG, the batteries lasted a total of 41 hours!!!
