⚙️ This is a hobbyist product that requires at least a basic knowledge of electronics to use and install. If replacing your console's broken components, please make sure that other components are otherwise operational or replace those too.

📕 We provide install guides and manuals on our support page, but will not be able to assist you in fault finding if your console is not working as expected.

You can also play and charge batteries at the same time. With this mod, you will never have to remove your NiMh cells from your Lynx, just charge them when you're done playing or as you play.

The charge module has over voltage, over current, short circuit protection, 10hr safety timer, and an intelligent charge controller IC manufactured by Texas Instruments. LED charge indicators (see photo below).

This mod will not restrict your console like lithium mods can. It'll work just as fine on a regular set of AA's as well as NiMh cells.

Warning: Once this mod is installed, you MUST always have batteries in your Lynx for it to turn on properly. If you have non-rechargeable batteries installed, DO NOT use the power adapter at the same time. Please apply the included warning sticker to any Lynx that you fit this module to.

See the install guide for Atari Lynx model 2 here. Install guide for Lynx model 1 coming soon.

Note: If you have a McWill LCD kit installed, it will not be possible to charge batteries while playing.

The LED indicators on the boards are not all the same between different batches of boards, however the position of the charge and fault LEDs is always the same. The fault LED is the outside LED, closest to the edge of the PCB. The inside LED is the indicator for when batteries are charging.
