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).
  • 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.

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.

Risk of fire if improperly charged or if battery is punctured. Only use protected power sources along with power delivery (PD) compliant cables and chargers. Using uncertified hardware may result in more than 5v being delivered to your CleanJuice product. Damage caused by unsupported hardware voids our return/exchange policy.

Original (not xl) akku pack

Its so nice to have this mod, it give me more room to mod my old but beloved gameboy classic. :) i dont have any draining issues with this one (not xl version), and a can play hours with it. In this case, i dont do any case modification (cuting battery bay lines) , just the battery cover need some hole on it for usb c port. The board moved a little bit, when you plug an usb c cabel in it, but i solved this with a lego pieces. :)

Simple upgrade with massive benefits

Great product so far. Very easy to install (took 2mins)
I highly recommend you get the battery cover to ensure a good fit in your system.
All in all it was a great price for a permanent power fix. Only nitpick is they should include instructions even if a small card for those that won't scour the internet.

No more AA batteries!

The CleanJuice USB-C rechargeable battery packs are the best thing to happen to our beloved handhelds! It's an absolute MUST HAVE! Super easy to install too! Now I can charge my Game Boy with my phone charger & never have to worry about running out of AA batteries. :)

Fantastic product!

Couldn’t be any easier to install if they tried. Holds a great charge, nice little LED charging indicator light, and fast to charge up. Loved it!
