8Bitdo SFC30 Battery Upgraded

I replaced the stock 480mAh battery with a 1300mAh Cameron Sino CTR-003 battery designed for the 3DS.
These batteries are easy to find. I got mine from Amazon.

Great video, ironically I’ve used a genuine Nintendo battery before seeing this video but this showed me where to cut the plastic out thanks man 👍

You sir are a lifesaver. I have a few of these in my Uber and they barely make it through the night anymore. This is exactly what I needed.

Thanks, I don't need this yet, but it's exactly what I was looking for for when I do - I noticed mine not lasting as long and wanted to be prepared.

Thank you for making this video sir. I followed your instructions and everything worked out great :)

The CTR-003 is also used in the switch pro controller ironically

Obviously I take no responsibility if you balls up your controller.
Only attempt this if you are comfortable driving a soldering iron and a dremel. 😁

the original battery had a pcb on it that provided overcharging and undervoltage protection. does the CTR-003 battery have one of those controllers inside it?

A Battery that gives a SNES wireless Controller Four Times of Game Time. Very good Mod. It seems simple to do though

[MrLuigge]

I want to do this on my SN30 pro but it does not seem to have space to fit a bigger battery, any suggestion?

[JarodMoonchild]

20 hours battery life is plenty for me. If that's what you actually get, of course. So I don't think I need to do anything with mine, once I get it. Just found it in my country, and for a cracking deal. I'm gonna order it along with Tomb Raider for the PS3, also at a discount prize, on the same website. 👍😊

Hey there! I'm about to mod my 8bitdo controller too ( but it the first SF30 Pro - model with analogs) cause the battery just screwed out the duration. I have some questions to you:

1- Is it REALLY safe to change the battery? How the controller is doing? Working fine? No Flames/Explosions?
2- What about the PCB protection? Will The controller not overcharge with that?

[unrealdevon]

Great video!

You got any idea for a good bigger battery for the dualshock3?

All i can find for those are cheap shit.

[manicsorceress]

Nice mod. I have a question, though: A 3DS battery has three output pins but the controller has only two wires for power. So which pin is for what? Also how did you attach the wires to the battery? I have heard that soldering Li-Ion is a big problem. By using heat on Li-Ion cells, you can damage the plastic separator, pressure protections or even the main internal lithium layers.

[hosseruk]

Good stuff, I think I'll replace mine too as you're right that the battery life is pretty poor.

[slybunda]

will it work if i use the battery from my old lg phone? it 3.7v lithium. does it need controller etc?

[ARamirez]

Does anyone have a weird issue where if you connect the SNES30 to a wall adapter the blue led starts blinking?

[jeffrielly]

I wish they went with replaceable batteries, I mean what happens when the battery no longer holds a charge?

[ryantallentire]

Hi mate, I dabble in mods and funky retro things. Megadrive sin suitcases, raspberry pi handhelds etc.
I’m not looking for a breakdown and in-depth analysis but rather looking to work with you on projects.
(Retro gaming preferably)

You’ve disabled comments for the n64 mod I’m guessing because of people asking for a breakdown?

Message me if this would be something you would be interested in doing.

Cheers
Ryan
