Tired of unexpectedly losing your game progress when your batteries die? This mod replaces the Game Boy Pockets's original power LED with a two stage battery indicator so you'll always know when it's time to save your game! This can even be used to add a power LED to a Pocket without one!

  • Tuned for use with NiMH and LiPo rechargeable batteries, configurable via solder jumpers.

Notes:

  • It is highly recommended that you clean the inside of your power switch before installing this mod to avoid flickering near the threshold voltage
