 You can purchase and extra battery!Dec 04, 2009
By Mommy
I contacted customer support because I needed two batteries (for my 2 boys) and didn't want 2 charging stations...waste of money! They replied with the following information!
"The replacement cost for Leapster 2 Recharger Battery Pack is $10 to cover shipping and handling.
You can purchase replacement parts by calling our Consumer Services department at 1-800-701-LEAP from 9am-10pm EST Monday- Friday and 9am - 5pm EST Saturday. A representative will be glad to take your order."
So those of you in need of 2 or more here you go!

You CAN get an extra battery packApr 08, 2010
By Talah
Okay, I haven't actually received this yet. I've been looking at reviews for the entire leapster system and was trying to figure out whether or not to get the recharging station when I was reading the many reports that you cannot get an extra battery pack and then the last post which said you could. I wanted to check for myself before placing my order online. When I first asked about getting just the battery pack I was politely told NO, it was not available, I would need to purchase TWO charging stations. I mentioned that I read a review on AMAZON that said it WAS available and the polite lady put me on hold to check. When she returned, she was happy to sell me one for a total of $10.00. So, even though I haven't purchased the system yet, I do have one extra battery pack on its way. She said it would take 10-15 business days and it was only available for purchase over the phone. I have never written a review on anything but I thought this was interesting enough to post. Hope it helps someone in the future!

 Save your money!Apr 06, 2009
By L. Scott
I purchased this recharging station for my daughters' two leapster 2 systems in hopes of saving money on batteries. After opening the product and contacting leapfrog I found that your are not able to purchase extra rechargeable battery packs. In order to get another pack, other than the one that comes with the recharging station, you have to purchase another recharging station. So if your looking to charge more than one leapster don't waste your money. Also I'm guessing once you've charge the battery the average 300 times the recharging station is no good because you can't purchase another battery pack without a new station. I wish I would have read reviews before purchasing.

Be green AND save money -- Don't buy this!Jan 14, 2009
By Game Fanatic

This will only recharge the batteries approx. 300 times! After that it is useless! I had to throw mine out because it would no longer hold the charge. Save your money and just buy regular rechargeable batteries. They take less time to fully recharge AND they last longer (1,000 charges) AND they are MUCH cheaper! So, be green AND save money! Don't buy the recharger.

 Note for owners of multiple LeapstersFeb 26, 2009
By D. Hunter
Just a warning for those who have more than one child and more than one Leapster: you will need to buy the recharger for EACH Leapster you have (in order to get the rechargeable battery pack for each Leapster). You could easily get by with only one CHARGER station, but you need multiple batteries.
So if you only have one Leapster, this could be worth it, because it is cheaper than disposable batteries and more convenient than rechargeable batteries.
But for me, because my family has 2 Leapsters, I found it to be not worth it to buy two (2 x $35 = $70), although I do use rechargeable AA batteries, which saves a lot.
