GBA SP hardware question

[burgundy]

When the SP battery is changed or replaced, does the entire bottom panel come off like a cell phone battery?

I ask because I'm interested in getting a special edition SP but I don't want to end up with a mismatched battery down the road when it runs out and Nintendo doesn't see fit to manufacture replacement batteries in all the colors of the rainbow.

I don't believe so. Check out GameStop they have replacement battery kits that look like they're just batteries.

from what i understand the batteries are just small well batteries inside the SP

Nyko i think it is i forget anyway there is a third party company that has allready released replacement batteries for it and its just this small battery

not the whole back

I've also seen extended use batteries (from Nyko I believe) replace the back of the case. Is this unique to the extended batteries?

i do believe so as my guess would be the extended use ones are larger than the normal batteries

OK. Thanks for the help.

Are you asking if the SPs battery is attached to the battery cover? If so, its 2 separate things.
