Xmas Morning - DS/PSP Charge-Up

Hi folks

How long to charge each console after wee ones rip open the box?
Or do we charge them in advance, breaking the seal in the process?
Or do we forget there ever was a box and hand them over all ready to go?

Santa still comes to our house!

Advice, cheers!

    I would charge them in advance, however can you use them while charging? I don't have either. If you can I would leave them in uncharged.
  • Hi there,

    You can play on the DS whilst charging. I would imagine the PSP is the same aswell.

    :o)

    Estimating the battery charge time
    It takes approximmately 2 hours and 20 minutes to fully charge the batteries using the AC adaptor after the battery has run out but its recommended you charge it longer for about 4-6 hours the first time.

    My daughters DS came charged already in the box. You can still play it when it is charging though.
