All-Day Battery

R36S game console
battery that lasts.

The 3500mAh removable battery is one of the R36S retro handheld's most underrated features. Not just because it lasts 4–8 hours — but because when it eventually wears down, you can swap it for a new one. No throwaway hardware.

  • 3500mAh Removable Battery
    Swap it out when it wears — significantly extends the working life of your R36S handheld.
  • USB-C · Play While Charging
    Standard 5V/2A USB-C. Plug into any power bank, laptop port, or wall adapter.
  • 4–8 Hours Real-World Life
    8-bit and 16-bit games use less power. PS1 titles get 4–5 hours. Either way, the game console R36S outlasts your commute.
