Does the charging system work on the reg leapster? My daughter has the reg leapster, not the lmax, will the charging dock still work or not?

If she has the original Leapster that is mostly silver with the more triangular shape and the screen cover, this charger won't work with it. If she has the pink and purple or green and silver Leapster that is more rectangular, closer to the shape of the L-Max, then it will work.

we own the original leapster but from any knowledge that ive had I am about 90% sure they made the leapster two so it can still play all the old games. but a leap pad and leapster are two different components all together so a leapster2 yes a leap pad im gonna say no.

I Don't know for sure.. I don't think so, but I do have the battery pack that is made for the leappad and it does charge that.

Thanks! Can you also tell me...b/c I"ve noticed on the leapster site it does NOT give you the info beforehand...How much do apps cost? Basically will buying the card get me more than 1 download?

Well.. the leapster is not a leap pad/tablet, but the ultra IS. Leapfrog makes a leapster explorer (which is a handheld) and a leapster GS (also a handheld) the leap pads (1 and 2) and now the new leap pad ultra. With the exception of the orignial leap pad and the new ultra, we have all systems, and the game runs on them. I think you need to clarify that they are getting a leapster explorer, which takes these green cartridges. It is possible they may be getting a used leapster (which is a much older version of the system and takes much larger cartridges... I am not sure it is still sold in stores, but of course is second hand) I would ask for clarification.

This AC adapter allows you to power your LeapFrog® learning game system directly from an AC outlet. Please note that the adapter is only designed to power your system as your child plays-it does not recharge batteries or charge your system for play away from the outlet.Works with:* LeapPad2 Explorer* LeapPad1 Explorer* LeapsterGS Explorer* Leapster Explorer

It only works with Leapster Explorer and up per the game. So, if it's not at least the explorer version, then it will not work with it. It's the thin chip that goes in the new versions.

"Maintenance Mode/Float Mode charging" --- from the product description, so yes, the docked device is kept fully charged. The device itself is used as a jump starter.

Hi,Well I have been trying to buy one of these for like 2 months now. It was always sold out everywhere. Finally at Target the manager told me that Leap Frog had stopped sending them out to retailers and also recalled the ones they had in stock. Mainly because they found a problem with the leap pads, some sort of glitch. I called Leap frog and they still don't know when they will be out and fixed. This is probably why you still have not received your new one. Hope you do... Take cae!

My Son has the leap pad ultra. All the games from leap pads work on it! Hope this helps!

I use the sanyo eneloop batteries in my son's Leapster--the original, not the Leapster 2. They last as long as regular batteries and the discharge rate is extremely slow when dormant. Regular rechargeables completely discharge within a matter of days when left unused. Plus, the eneloops last up to 1,000 charges, while the charging station is good for something like 300 charges? I purchased my rechargeables for around $15 with a charger included. My son and daughter are each getting a Leapster 2 for Christmas and I have already purchased more eneloops (@ $10 for 4). I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in the Leapster 2--I seem to remember reading several reviews where people reported opting for rechargeables vs. charging station. Hope this helps!

We have a LeapPad Explorer and some old leapster and LeapPad games and they don't work!! Why?

They charge while in the leap pad... you can even play the leap pad while it's charging. The power button on the leap pad will light up orange while it's charging and turns off when charged. It actually charges fairly quick and the tablet seems to run a lot longer than with regular batteries. It was definitely worth the money spent!

I bought both the Explorer and LeapPad for my 3 and 5 year olds for Christmas. I bought a couple of game cartridges as well as app cards. How do you install the apps in both? I was told at TRU that you could only install an app on one device. Good to know that he was wrong.

A leap pad is not a leapster, and i believe this game will not work on a leap pad. As the other answer says, if a game is made for leapster Explorer it is compatible with the Leap pad, but it looks like this game is made for the older Leapsters.
