Fired up my wife’s 3DS XL after seeing the “Every Nintendo Handheld” post. Battery is still full after sitting for six years.

Very nice, its so pristine too, she must have taken good care of it. If ya’ll wanna play it again I’d totally suggest putting a new battery in it, the one in my 3DS XL still worked fine but it expanded and broke the backshell cover after a little use again ):
Oof, you should be a little careful and inspect the battery. It might have turned into a spicy pillow. You should absolutely _not_ be using it if it’s in any way swollen.
That’s not possible. More like the system is not correctly reading the battery, or the battery is sending bad info and preparing to produce a small mushroom cloud.
If the battery was full why do you need to enter the date? Normally this only happens on devices if the battery dies.
“Battery still full after sitting on the charger* for six years.”
I fixed your title, OP.
Those things have crazy retention of the batteries. I don’t know what the hell Nintendo used for them, but they can hold a charge for many, many, years.
so we had solid state batteries all along
