Is the base necisary? Or does the battery pak, once installed, just charge when the 3DS is plugged into the 3DS charger?

The base is just a convenience, it can charge through the normal charging port still. I have this and have very much enjoyed it, the only thing that is not perfect about this is that the 3DS says it has a low battery after the same amount of time as the normal battery would have. So it will say it has low battery, but still has around 60-70% left

Yes the base is necessary and that's where you can charge the battery. The Nyko battery is attached to a cover replacing the 3DS bottom cover and i haven't tried it you but i don't think you can charge the Nyko battery without the base.

You need the base AND your DS charging cord. The new battery attachment is installed onto your DS and that need to be placed on the base. Then you use your existing DS charger to plug into the base.

Trying to recharge the battery pak, it's plugged in and blinking blue. Had a little juice left, but cut off twice with my Galaxy S4 plugged to it to charge. Is this normal?

The base is the battery charger. We've never had a problem or needed to replace a battery. Peggy

This set comes with 2 batteries and a charger that plugs straight into the wall. Your "extra" battery docks into the charger. Now, with that being said, you can still charge your phone by it's original charger OR if you have a USB cable (This set DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CABLE) you can plug the "wall charger" that is charging your extra battery up via a USB cable also instead of charging it straight into an outlet. I have used my regular USB phone charger to charge my phone with one of the batteries in it; I have used a car charger to charge it; and I have also used the charging dock that came with the batteries. All methods work fine ;-)

it charges fully and the batteries work for several hours, depending on how long you play at one time.it grate I'd recommend it.

This is only for PS3 controllers. They don't come with battery packs. All you have to do is push the controller into the slot and it charges. It's really easy.

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

Yes. Yes the battery comes installed within the unit. It had an initial charge to it from the factory, but you still should fully charge it before first use. It will hold a charge better and longer if the directions are followed. Mine seems to have a bit longer than advertised battery life. I'm OK with that. :)

I think it comes sufficiently charged. I do not recall having to do anything special. I have regular battery charger only, which should work for the battery.

It's pretty basic, you just plug in the unit and place the batteries in the slots. If you look inside the slots you can see etched in there the plus and minus signs. You may need a flashlight as it's black on black so very difficult to read. The unit will let you know when the batteries are charged. You don't have to have it full in order for it to charge. Hope this helps!

Sharon, It sounds like you received the correct base. You're able to charge it correct? Thanks, Jessica Super Duper Deals

The battery is internally built into the nightlight and charges on the included base. You do not need to buy anything else to make this work.

According to the manual, "If the green indicator light is 'ON', the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged and is being trickle charged." Since these are Lithium-ion batteries, my experience is that they hold a charge very well so keeping one in the charger isn't necessary. Ni-Cad batteries do not hold a charge as long.

The panels will charge when attached to the base. Make sure they are completely and properly attached. Also, I've found that when the batteries in the base run low, the panels do not charge as well if at all.

No it's just a charging dock. You would have to buy the rechargeable batteries separate. It's worth purchasing.
