Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster2 Recharging Station
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY this piece of junk !
Summary: 1 Stars
Sorry to be so blunt. But this is what I will say if anyone asks.
THE GOOD: It does charge. It is sturdy. It does work with the Leapster 2 and only the Leapster 2, not any previous models. For how long? It says about 300 charges. With these kind of batteries, it is best to use it all the way down, then charge it for 8 hours to get the maximum efficiency. I gave this thing 1 star because it is convenient and it does work if you make it work as it should.
THE BAD: The battery does not last that long, maybe a year if you can maximize the charging routine and your child doesn't use it every day. The biggest flaw in its design is the charging base. There are two "spring" loaded clips that locks the battery and the Leapster 2 in place. It is challenging enough to place the Leapster on it the base in the right sequence to lock it down. It is a horrendous experience to remove it, because those clips act like a vice, holding the Leapster down tight. With this flaw in design, it has brought on some major aggravations for my wife, a tantrum with my child, and some expletives from me. There is a cure, though. Just use a small Philips screw driver and remove the 4 outer screws and 2 inside to get rid of these clips. LeapFrog people obviously never tested this piece of junk before marketing it. If I still had the original box, I would have returned it and the Leapster 2 too, from all the critical reviews about it as well. The original Leapster and its charging base were OK without all of these hassles with the Leapster 2.
