He likes the Advanced better than the SP for this reason too. Now I am on the hunt for a new one to replace it. One for my son (10) and one for my husband. If you are in the market for a good charger that kids can work without adult supervision this is it.
They work great for long trips and we even bought the car addaptor so they can recharge during those long trips to Grandmas. It was well worth the money and I will buy another. My only fault with them is that recently my sons has stopped working. They are not indistructable and it took one too many trips down the stairs by his brother(2).
I bought 2 of these 3 years ago. Both my older sons (10 & 5)use them without any problem, when the power runs out you just set them in the cradle, overnight works well. We love them. Some of the reviews say they are too big but my husband liked that because it made the GB easier for him to hold.
So I charged the battery without the stand and it worked. That was my only problem. I got mine it was great but after about 9 months or so the stand decided it dident want to work. So I threw the stand away (so sad to bad). I am realy 15 years old
That is really the only reason I don't give it 5 stars. Really the only problem I have with it is the meathod of clipping it to the gamboy is a little cheap. Buy it unless you just think another one's better. I don't have as much of a problem with this battery pack; it's a little bulky but I actually like that as it doesnt really matter unless you want to carry it in your pocket and it actually gives it a better balance and feel in my opinion. It does the job and it's easy and cheap. Also it's easy to recharge- just set it in the cradle along with the GBA, plus you can use it as an AC adapter by plugging the cable directly into the battery instead of the cradle. It's kinda hard to put it in words, but you can bump the little thing and accidently unclip the battery, but thats only happened once for me.
It sometimes pops out of your Game Boy Advance, makes it alot heavier, takes alot of space and looks totally groosum. When I first bought mine, I was exited. But now that I started using it, it is disappointing. The only good thing is that it can replace batteries for 15 hours before you have to recharge.
