    If you have a DSi charger lying around, you can use that to charge it, too.

    Question about chargers: is it safe to use a charger as long as its output voltage/amperage are the same and the plug style is the same?

    They're somethin' else.

    ^ Yeah, i used mine and left my 3ds charger in the box.

    But you never had any to begin with.

    I'm not sure I've ever even used my 3DS charger.

    @glennmagusharvey Yeah.  Furthermore, the wire's voltage/amperage tolerances can be lower as long as they are strong enough for the charger.


     


    (Also, your mobile devices really should just be using microUSB. >:| )

    I'm actually not thinking about mobile devices; I'm thinking about some battery-operated-but-AC-adapter-optional portable music players at home.  Y'know, from the 90s, when such items were a thing.

    It's bad enough that they won't use MicroUSB, but Nintendo's insistence on using different chargers for different devices drives me mad. There's no technical reason I shouldn't be able to charge my DS Lite and my brother's 3DS with the same charger. It's solely so they can sell people new accessories.


    I mean, Apple also insists on proprietary connectors, but at least they kept theirs the same for the better part of a decade.

    Nintendo have used the same charger type for the past 5 years. Also, the voltage changes between systems.
