What chargers work with a DS Lite?

The Nintendo DS Lite uses a proprietary charger, specifically the Nintendo DS Lite AC Adapter, Model No. USG-002, which is different from the chargers used by other Nintendo DS models, such as the original DS and DSi. To charge a DS Lite, you can use the official Nintendo DS Lite charger or a third-party charger that is compatible with the DS Lite’s proprietary connector, but it’s essential to ensure the charger meets the required 5.2V 450mA output to avoid damaging the console.
