Leapster and Leapster L-Max Recharging: Is this correct?

I believe this is the charging system that can be used for both the "Leapster" (square version) and "Leapster L-Max" (square version) systems.

As far as I know, it does not. Both of my grandsons have a Leapster and love it. I am not an expert on what the Leapster is compatible with, so perhaps I should have answered "don't know." Sorry that I'm not more helpful.

We haven't tested it out yet, it's for Christmas. But other games we bought in the past that said "(works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer)" have worked in the LeapPad 2. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

It only works with Leapster Explorer and up per the game. So, if it's not at least the explorer version, then it will not work with it. It's the thin chip that goes in the new versions.

Hi H. Sexton-Which leapster do you have? It looks like each new game is $20+ for the Leapster 2. Thanks.

My four year old grandson received an L-max Leapster for Christmas. It also came with tv cables. He can play the portable game by himself or take turns playing with his friends. He can plug the game into the TV to see it bigger and play it easier with his friends.

I am 99% sure you can use this to buy apps in the leapfrog app store. Just make sure you are in the tab for Leapster Explorer apps and not Leappad apps. There should be a place to input the code, I think it says REDEEM code here.

Thanks for your input. Tomorrow is her B-day, so this would be nice for her. We are working on lots of pre-school activities at this time. Do you know if the LeapPad will use rechargeable batteries?

No they have different battery packs.... So it won't work for the GS. Leapster does have a charging pack for sell. Do a search for the recharger for leapster GS. Amazon does have one for sell just under $30

Yes - all leapster games work on all leapster systmes - I called customer service! You can also go on www.leapfrog.com and search leapster and it answers hundreds of questions about leapster including this one!

The Leapster Explorer (B0038APBDA) does NOT come with the rechargeable Battery pack but ASIN# B0038ANO3O (the recharger kit) does. They should really sell these as a package but you have to buy them separate. You will regret not buying the recharger kit after burning through a lot of batteries. To answer your question, YES the recharger kit comes with the rechargeable battery pack.

I have it located in the next room and do not seem to have a problem with. I don't use the Leapfrog very often... but its plugged in all the time...

I use Eneloop rechargeables in my boy's Kidizoom and have since the first (non-rechargeable) batteries died soon after Christmas. I haven't had any problems.

I don't think they sell it like that. You can use regular batteries but they die very very fast (2 hours maybe). Even the rechargable batteries from other companies die fast, but you can save money there. The recharging pack is all i've seen from LeapPad besides the adapter that you actually plug into the wall. They can't move around but it works if you are just sitting in one room.

I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops. And, yes, it is a smart charger in that it stops charging when the battery is "full".And, as far as shelf life. My kids use them for their gaming controllers and swap the batt's in charger when it's time. I use them in my digital camera and don't have to worry about the battery being dead after sitting for month. I keep a new set in the bag just in case they do die on me. I also use them in my remote controls.I would not recommend their use in smoke detectors, clock radios, or anything that will put a continual and uninterrupted drain on them. Those are what alkaline batteries are for. I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops.

We have a Leap Pad and it works with it. The box says it works with Leapster Explorer but since we don't have one I cannot confirm 100% it will.

Thanks! Can you also tell me...b/c I"ve noticed on the leapster site it does NOT give you the info beforehand...How much do apps cost? Basically will buying the card get me more than 1 download?
