I purchased this charger directly from Leapfrog for around $30 in January '09. I wouldn't want to deal with the batteries on the Leapster otherwise. It has worked well and taken the hassle out of having to replace or recharge batteries that must be removed from the Leapster.
I do not understand why Amazon's prices have become so inflated in the past few months. My son knows to put his Leapster on the charger each night so it is always ready to go with a fully charged battery. (This was not a clearance price).
You just set the whole Leapster unit on the charger and a light indicates that it is set on correctly. This is absolutely not worth the $99 that it is now listed for from Amazon. I do highly recommend the charger.
(Although he has never run the battery all the way down yet anyway). Buy this product elsewhere though, unless the folks at Amazon get their heads out of their butts with their overinflated prices.
The second time, the screen "froze" and would not allow any play at all. My 5 yr old loves it, and it's a great educational toy while satisfying his thirst for video games. I am on my third l-max in 2 years. After recalibration and rebooting attempts by the technicians at Leapfrog, they replaced the unit at no charge. But Leapfrog has replaced it twice.one year apart. The first time, the LCD screen didn't work right (specifically - the pen did not allow accuracy on the screen). My advice - buy the toy, but register your product on their website and keep track of all conversations and problems with your unit. And be aware that it takes persistance to get the unit replaced.
We got the Leapster L-Max and were burning through batteries at an excessive speed (4 AA batteries after approximately 12 hours of playing). Now the recharging system allows us to recharge the unit when needed and reduces the need for expensive replacement batteries. I would recommend the recharging system for any Leapster game system.
She especially loves the plug in accessory that comes with this kit. I purchased this Leapster rechargable for my 5 year old daughter who never lays down her Leapster hardly ever. She can sit and play her Leapster as long as she wants and never worry about a battery shortage. She is getting very good at writing straight line for her numbers and letters. The educational games are wonderful and the rechargable system is an excellent buy. Thanks so much for this product. I am a very satisfied customer.
I own a leapster recharging system which I purchased at my local Wal Mart for $35.00 BRAND NEW. It is that easy. The system also comes with an ac adapter which your child can plug in and play. You then hook the ac adapter to the charging dock and let the leapster charge. Don't buy from these overpriced dealers unless it is absolutely a must. Check your local stores (WalMart, Toys R Us)first.
