I get 4 hours with brightness 3/5 and sound on. Did you disable Energy Saving?
I have power saving on. I don't mind the battery btw. I'm fine with it.

Hope Nintendo eventually sells it at retail (doubtful) so the price can go down. It's a nice convenience but over $30 for going from 3-5 hours to 5-8 hours isn't worth it. I'll eventually get it but probably in 2015.
Anyone from the US wanna tell me how much you're paying for shipping?
Same here. MD.I'm in SC and when I go to checkout it quotes me $5 shipping.
Ugh.

Up to 8 hours? How much is it without it? D:
Honestly, the charge cradle almost negates the battery life problem altogether for me. I put my gamepad in its cradle every second that I'm not using it, and rarely am I playing my Wii U for >3 hours in a single sitting. So really, I've never even ran out of battery in the entire time that I've owned the system.
I swear sometimes I think my dual shock 4's battery is just as bad. At least the game pad had an excuse.
I paid $50, but I didn't feel like waiting for the NA version.$32 dollars is insane i'd expect to see the pro contoller on sale for that much. At the same time i was planning on ordering the wii remote and nunchuck for $20. $7 for shipping is rough though
What exactly is wrong with the Nyko? Just now picked one up from Sears! Literally in my lap as I type this!
Will buy. I hate the goddamn Gamepad currently due to the battery draining so fast. I've put a lot of time into Wii U games over the last week, but almost all of them involved me using a Pro Controller or Wiimote with the gamepad firmly stuck in its charge cradle next to the console.
This should help to entice me to use the thing a bit more.
Edit: Oh its the official 2550mAH version. Didn't Nyko have a version that was 4000mAH before it was pulled? I'm a bit weary about the 8 hours proposed time since that was what many said the Nyko version offered. Still it is an upgrade I suppose.

The replacement that Nyko sent did work, but the first batch was garbage. The Nintendo extended battery is lighter and just works, period.Sorry for your loss man, but if you're very and I mean VERY lucky, you might get that Nyko piece of shit to work. I can say this as a former owner of that Power Pak and it is simply made poorly with it's wire connection (the most important part). At least I got a full refund.
It is kind of steep for Li-ion; it would be nice if it was Li-poly.I have my charger hiding behind my couch. Very easy to plug in at any moment. Not sure I need this. $32 seems steep for what you are getting.
Has Nyko fixed the connector of their own battery for this?Isn't the nyko the one with more capacity ?
I was just checking the product page for this earlier today and it says it's on backorder, with an expected shipping date of the second week of January.Bought the day this was posted, still no movement on the order.
