The Battery mod

The batteries are charged with a USB-C to USB cable. This cable should be plugged into a standard 5V USB power supply (for example, a phone charger).

When the batteries are charging, an LED lights up. When the batteries are 100% charged, the LED turns off. There is no need to wait for the batteries to be completely charged before unplugging the USB cable. Similarly, the batteries do not need to be completely discharged to charge them.

In the event of a swollen battery or a strange odor, unplug and remove it, then contact me for a replacement. The batteries come with a 2-year warranty.

The HDMI mod

To connect the Game Gear to a screen, use the included micro HDMI adapter or a micro HDMI cable directly.
