WiiU Battery Life Results
Top left is the OG battery , top right is the official extended battery, bottom left is the iFix it battery and finally bottom right is the pickle power battery.
In order, here are the timed results of each battery being actively used at max brightness from full charge untill the gamepad shuts off.
1500mAh = 2:08:35 2550mAh = 4:16:37 3600mAh = 4:05:30 6600mAh = 7:07:23
In conclusion, if you have the official Nintendo extended battery I would keep running it. Mine is over 11 years old and 4+ hours battery life is plenty. I was disappointed to find out the ifixit battery is worse and that's why I purchased the pickle power. It took multiple attempts to try and run the pickle power battery dead in one sitting so it's almost overkill but I guess it's nice to have. If I had known what the battery life times would be I likely would have just stuck with the official extended battery and saved some cash. At least now I can share these results to help others make an educated decision on what battery life is like for these various types.
