Remember those epic Wii U sessions where you're deep into Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros., only for the gamepad battery to tap out halfway through? That frustration ends here with the Pickle Power 6600mAh rechargeable battery. Designed specifically as a replacement for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad models WUP-010 and WUP-012, this battery packs double the capacity of the stock one, meaning you can game for hours without reaching for the charger.
The factory Wii U gamepad battery tops out around 3000mAh, which sounds decent until you're playing off-TV in the living room or taking it to a friend's for multiplayer mayhem. It drains fast during bright screen use or heavy gameplay, leaving you tethered to the console or scrambling for outlets. We've all been there—mid-boss fight, screen dims, and poof, back to couch co-op.
This Pickle Power battery upgrades you to 6600mAh of reliable power. It's fully compatible, slides right into place with no tools or mods needed, and recharges via standard USB—plug into your PC, wall adapter, or even a power bank. Expect 5-7 hours of solid playtime depending on brightness and game intensity, far outlasting the original.
Picture this: family game night with Nintendo Land, no one fighting over the controller because it's always ready. Or solo exploring Hyrule in Breath of the Wild on the gamepad screen while dinner cooks. Travelers love it too—pop it in for plane rides or hotel stays, keeping your Wii U portable and powered. It's not just a battery; it's freedom to play how and where you want.
Users rave about the easy install: pop off the back cover, swap batteries, done in under a minute. No soldering, no fuss. Pair it with a long USB cable, and you've got a setup for all-day gaming marathons. If you're still using the aging original battery, this is the straightforward upgrade that breathes new life into your Wii U.
Grab one and rediscover why the Wii U gamepad was such a game-changer—now with stamina to match.
