*It has come to our attention that a small percentage of this module has an issue with the charging LED not turning off after the module is fully charged (about 1 - 2 hours). The module works as intended otherwise. If you purchase a module with this issue, please reach out to support so we may resolve it for you.

Upgrade your Game Boy DMG from its low powered AA battery compartment to a drop-in USB C rechargeable battery pack. The RetroSix/Hand Held Legend CleanJuice Original for Game Boy adds 9.25 watts of power (compared to 2 watt for the largest AA batteries available) giving you almost 5 times the game time!

*This version is smaller in thickness compared to the DMG XL Cleanjuice. 

FEATURES:

  • Charge at any time using a regular USB C cable, and even reverse charge the console from your phone if it supports power share. That means you can charge your GB while you are out, using your phone battery.
  • Connect battery to CleanJuice board (only fits in one way so don't worry).
  • Remove top shell battery spring. Leave the bottom two.
  • Place battery into shell with the wire coming out at the bottom left corner, and the battery pushing the top left spring in.
  • Push the battery down at the bottom end.
  • Place CleanJuice board on top of battery and push the springs down to make contact with top battery springs. 
  • Use a RetroSix USB C battery cover (sold separately, in various colors), or cut a hole for the USB C port using a 4mm drill bit and drill 3 holes in the center of the battery cover as shown in the image.
  • Put the back cover on the console, and you are ready to go.
  • Give the CleanJuice a full charge and enjoy hours of gaming! Check out this article to see how long it could last.
  • If the module is loose in the battery housing, you may use foam padding to hold it in place.

INCLUDED:

  • 1x Lithium ion rechargeable battery (9.25 watts)
  • 1x Cleanjuice PCB

PAIRS WELL WITH:

NOTES:

  • Port on CleanJuice modules will rest at opening of battery cover. This means you do not insert the port into the opening but it sits flush with the cover.
  • 8/5/24 - Currently not compatible with Robot_Retro Power Regulator.
  • Created by RetroSix.

Light Indicator Key:

  • If the PG labeled light on the board is on, this means the USB cable is providing power to the system. This also means you can power your console from the USB without draining the battery - plug and play option.
  • If the CHRG labeled light on the board is on, this means the USB is charging the battery. When it goes off, the battery is fully charged.
  • Both indicator lights will be on when module is charging. When module is fully charged, only the PG light will remain.
  • If you connect a USB cable and the PG light does not turn on, your cable or power supply are faulty.

Battery Drains completely after a week.

I should’ve just stuck with AAs. This battery pack will drain from full to dead after a week of no use. Also, I can’t charge from the usb-c cutout on the battery cover. There needs to be some type of spacer. If this battery pack is pushed in all the way the usb-c connector won’t be able to reach the female end on the battery pack.

I'm sorry you are having issues with this product. Please contact us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may resolve this for you.

Part missing. Can't use the product.

The battery and cover arrived on time, but the circuit board needed to connect the battery to the Gameboy was missing. I filed a complaint last week, but have not heard back yet.

Poor Battery Life and Broken on Shipment

My first order was completely unusable as the way the pcb is packaged in a tiny ziplock it puts pressure on the battery terminals. So when I received the first order the positive terminal was completely broken off and unrepairable. The support team did send me out a new one promptly which was great service but the second pcb had the same issue but wasn’t completely broken off so I was able to fix with solder. Got it installed and working and just like others the battery life is awful going completely dead overnight without use. Only convenience is that it’s rechargeable. Overall wouldn’t recommend. I may just go back to rechargeable aa batteries instead.

Thanks for your feedback! Please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further with you!

Does not hold charge

Its convenient that the battery pack can be recharged and used while charging, however when I do not play the gameboy for a day or 2 the battery is completly dead

I'm sorry to hear of the issue! Please message us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may get this resolved for you.

Great upgrade.

This is a great replacement for swapping out AAs all the time, or having the gameboy plugged in. The charging lights are super bright and a little hard to distinguish between “charging” and “full”. The only thing that could be improved is the fit in the case. It’s a little finicky getting in place, and it doesn’t fit securely, so sometimes it can fall out of place and I have to reposition. This is easily remedied with a little piece of foam, though. I’d probably recommend getting the replacement cover with the charging port hole already cut. I didn’t, but wish I had.
But I think the main point is that it charges fast and lasts a long time.
All in all, it’s a great upgrade and I highly recommend.

Do not buy from Retrosix!

I installed this mod when i was still naive when it came to modding, i never charged the battery once or played it enough to die and I let it sit for two years only to come back to a leaking bloated mess of a cheap battery. Do not buy from Retrosix, they are a fraud!
