CleanJuice Game Boy DMG USB-C Rechargeable Battery Pack | Original

  • $29.99 USD

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

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).
  • 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. (The other 3 springs need to be removed)
  • 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 well over 20 hours of gaming on an original console!

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.

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 mod replacement for batteries

I bought one of the XL versions and two of the smaller versions and popped the two dmg ones in my gameboys who usually stay shelved unless my nephews wanna grab em and play. The XL was only time consuming because I had to cut the 3 little spacers in the battery compartment and snip a couple of the battery springs. But I may get brave and buy one of HL's cases and try to transfer everything over. A++++++ Quality

Easy and works perfectly!

Simply remove the three sets of battery contacts and this kit drops in without further modification. Totally worth it and easy to install! 100% reversible if you ever decide to go back to AA batteries.

Easy install

Was easy to install and the custom case back was almost an exact match to the original gameboy battery case.

Worth Every Penny!

Admittedly, the first unit I ordered did have a small defect. For some odd reason it was discharging after a full charge without being powered on. It would be dead after 24-48 hours with zero playing. HOWEVER!!!! Hand Held legends are AMAZING at customer service!!! I asked the questions MONTHS after purchase about why it might be doing this. They told me it was an unfortunate defect and does happen once in a blue moon. Without question they sent out a replacement that I have installed and charged a week ago, and I played about an hour, and the battery is STILL holding! So clearly it was a defective unit in the beginning.

All that being said, even the defective u it was worth its weight in gold! The AAs that didn’t need to be bought and thrown away after a few hours of game play! Do not hesitate to try this product for yourself! As the title says, WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Essential for repairs. Very handy!

I was using a regular cart to test Gameboys when doing mods, but it takes a long time to boot, listen for audio, press buttons for response. This test cart instantly lets you run all the tests FAST. Button, RAM, audio, scrolling. It's all there. I do a mod, plug the ribbon cable, plug into power, switch on, and quickly identify if there is a non-functioning button and which one. Brilliant!
