GamePad Rechargeable Battery Pack
ゲームパッド バッテリーパック （
Nintendo’s official lithium‑ion power source for the Wii U GamePad. This was the standard bundled version, although an extended‑capacity version was later released for longer sessions.
Description
Bundled with every Wii U at launch in 2012, the standard GamePad Rechargeable Battery Pack (model WUP‑012) is a 3.7 V, 1500 mAh lithium‑ion unit designed to fit flush into the GamePad’s rear compartment. It delivers roughly 3–5 hours of play per charge, depending on screen brightness, volume, and wireless activity, and is recharged via the GamePad’s AC adapter or the Wii U charging cradle. Installation is simple: remove the back cover with a small screwdriver, connect the battery’s plug, and secure it in place. The pack was designed to be easily replaced if worn out over time.
In 2013, Nintendo released an official high‑capacity version (model WUP‑013) in Japan and later other regions, boosting capacity to 2550 mAh for up to 8 hours of play. This upgrade was popular with players who used the GamePad heavily for off‑TV play or extended gaming sessions. Both versions feature built‑in overcharge protection and are shaped specifically for the Wii U GamePad’s housing, ensuring a secure fit and safe operation. While third‑party replacements and even ultra‑high‑capacity mods exist, the official packs remain the most reliable option for maintaining the GamePad’s original balance and feel.
