Pickle Power 6600mAh Wii U Gamepad Battery, Rechargeable Wii U Battery Replacement for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad WUP-010 WUP-012

Fits like it should. Battery lasts a long time. Good replacement for the money.

I read some of the review and people complain that the battery does not fit. You do need to push the connection firmly to get it to snap in but it took a minute to install. This includes unscrewing the back plate, removing the old battery and replacing it, then screwing the plate back on. It even comes with the needed screwdriver. After testing g battery lasts for hours! Three to four times longer than the OEM. I’m not understanding why Nintendo put in such a small worthless battery in the first place but this is a nice upgrade for your Wii U gamepad! Highly recommend!

I put this in my dying WiiU gamepad and now it lats much longer, compared to the 30 minutes I used to get on its dying battery.

I've had this for about a week so far, so I can't say whether or not this battery stand the test of time, but so far it's been great. The battery in my gamepad was completely dead, and now it works perfectly. I haven't drained the battery yet, but after playing for about 3 hours, the console shows it at 3/4ths battery. It takes a while to charge, but that's to be expected. It does take a little force to connect the battery, but I don't think it was nearly as hard as the other reviews make it seem. Just use something flat to press it in.

It does not fit. Now that I sort reviews by "Most recent" it seems like there is a batch of incorrectly assembled batteries being sold by this seller. Hopefully they can correct this because before the end of 2025 it seems like most customers were satisfied. I bought mine on 1/1/26 and received one that clearly has the wrong connector on it. The 2 most recent reviews right now (1/11/26) describe the same issue. Quite a frustrating problem that the seller should resolve. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THIS CONNECTOR INTO YOUR WII U! It should click in just as easily as the original did. Its a shame to because the battery itself is huge compared to the original and it looks like it lasts forever when it comes with the right connector. The shape of the battery is not the problem. Even though it is much bigger than the original, it will still fit great in the console. The connector will not fit into the console though.

The connector is not compatible with the WUP-010 at least. It won't fit. If you are going to advertise this as compatible, you should make sure it actually fits. This does not work with the Wii U. Update: I managed to get the connector to fit but it's missing the plastic molded guide rails on the back which means it sits too low if you don't hold it up a bit while you are inserting it and won't go in at that position. The battery itself works great, it lasts a long time. Because the connector is not intuitive, I can't give this 5 stars.

Good battery at a good price. Hold a charge much longer than the factory battery.

So I had the official Nintendo extended battery in my Wii U pad since around when Xenoblade Chronicles came out. That would last like 7 hours playing that game back then. Fast forward to recently and the gamepad would last a little over an hour playing simple things like DS virtual console games before dying. To be fair it’s been on the charging dock 24/7 for a decade plus so it was a matter of time before the battery degraded. I was looking for a solution since an hour is outrageous. I saw this and read the reviews. I figured I couldn’t do worse right? Sucks not having the official battery but mine is basically dead anyway so why not? Wow am I impressed. It tells you to use it until it dies but mine already came depleted. I charged it up all the way and the next day I tested it out. I played the same game I’ve been playing with the old battery. I played almost 5 hours and when I check battery life, it still read a full 4 bars! I’m aware it’s only been a few days or so but that’s mighty impressive. I have never seen it go below 4 bars ever. This solved my issue immediately. I can’t believe how well it performs. Yes the plug is hard to insert but just put a little force. You’ll be fine. It did not create a bulge in the back on mine as I’ve read as well. If you’re used to the regular battery it will make the gamepad heavier, but I like my controllers with a little heft. Super recommend. Don’t deal with a dead or dying battery. Get that swapped out for this asap. Couldn’t be easier.
