    I've had a look and it seems that they're different chargers (SP and DS Phat the same) but I haven't been able to find anything definitive, so are they the same or not? Thanks!

    They're different AFAIK. I think you can charge the DS Lite via USB.

    Hm, USB would probably be a fair bit slower, I'm thinking of getting a DS Lite when I'm in US but if I can't use the SP charger it'll just add to the cost and I might as well get one before here I go.

    Actually just found this and on the page that was on it does say it's different too, ah well.

    Go to Smyths

    We sell DS chargers that work on the DS Lite, or the regular version [same connection as an SP]

    They're 14.99 yoyos

    In the US it'll be $130 plus sales tax of about 9% so be about $142 so about €105 then the charger when I got home €15 so €120, a saving of about €30, pretty good actually!

    Interesting that the DS Lite charger is accepted by the Phat and SP, same current just a different lump of plastic!

    I believe the GB Micro and the DS Lite chargers are exactly the same.

    How about the battery life on the DS lite?Holy Moley, I've had mine over a week with a LOT of play and only charged it one time.
