Does this bundle have the new high capacity GamePad battery that lasts up to 8 hours? Or, is it still the original one that one lasts 3 to 5 hours?

To be honest I don't know I don't play that long. I bought the nyko pro controller and I could always use that if the game pad ran out. It's a great controller and 20 bucks

This bundle has the original GamePad: Model No. WUP-010(USA) and original battery WUP-012...It takes 2.5 hours to charge. Battery life is 3-5 hours. Sorry.

Hi. I would say about 5 hours. I do not play games and am not a heavy user, but I do stay online for long periods of time. ALso, when you do charge it up, it charges surprisingly quickly.

For casual use including surfing, youtube, and writing, the battery lasts for upwards of 6-7 hours For hardcore gaming...likely an hour or less videos are somewhere inbetween... around 5-6 hours

I just bought them a week or so ago and they usually last for 1 hour then blinking, about 1 hour more before they start turning off the controller. My Xbox brand battery last for about 12 hours of play before blinking, another hour before it turns off. The charging station has green lights on all the time weather there is a battery in it or not. When i place a dead battery in it the red light comes on as well, making a sort of red orange glow. When charged the red light goes out so you only see the green. They usually charge pretty fast about 2 or 3 hours.

It doesn't connect to the gamepad. It comes with a cable that plugs it into the USB port on the back of the console for charging.

the batteries i got were in the retail packaging just a bit of a damaged box. The batteries themselves are duracell. The only negative thing I noticed is that these batteries did not last very long. they did the trick for a while for a wii u controller and xbox controller for a month or so then new batteries were needed. Perhaps it's because of how much use and power these particular devices take up? I'm not sure.

These rechargeable batteries are better choice! I've played for 6-8 hours with my surround sound headphones with Mic and the first battery has yet to die on me. I haven't needed to put the second battery in yet. charging is easy. Just place you controller on there charging base. Has room for two controllers. So if you have a second controller you can just switch controllers which is fast than switching battery packs.

Works great for gaming. Not sure what you mean by time factor, but the battery life lasts for 7-8 hours on normal use and probably 2 or 3 hours of heavy gaming

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

Funny this came up. The Classic Controller broke about 5 days ago. A wire broke down next to the connector which is plugged into the regular controller. Just threw it in the trash. I think we had it about 3 or 4 months.

Very long. I can sometimes get into some lengthy gaming marathons, and the battery has never been an issue. I estimate 4-6 hours depending on volume and battery health. Also note that you can use the device while it is charging, but the included cable is too short. If this is a major concern consider purchasing a longer USB cable with a Micro-B termination on one end.

If you are running it on gaming mode, it won't last an hour--even if you aren't actually gaming. It has gone 2 hours unplugged for me in balanced mode.

I don't think they sell it like that. You can use regular batteries but they die very very fast (2 hours maybe). Even the rechargable batteries from other companies die fast, but you can save money there. The recharging pack is all i've seen from LeapPad besides the adapter that you actually plug into the wall. They can't move around but it works if you are just sitting in one room.

It has the same type of battery as the Dualshock 3 controllers. U charge the controller itself via USB cord and port.

At this time only one gamepad is supported. Wii remotes can be used for additional players. Watch out for unscrupulous sellers like Sadpolar7 selling the "Deluxe Set" without the gamepad. The system needs the gamepad to work. SCAM!
