The chart below will give you estimates on common power supplies used and how long you can expect your console to last. How long your CleanJuice will last depends on the console you are using and the upgrades you have. It's all about the watts. Let's use the GBA as a starting point/example. Your standard 2x AAs of 1200mA batteries have 2.88 watts of power. The best AAs on the market 2x AA Eneloop Pros have 6 watts. The CleanJuice has 6.29 watts. More power = longer life.

The GBA stock uses 0.28 watts of power. So for AA batteries that is 2.88 / 0.28 = 12 hours. Now batteries are not perfect, so normally you take off 15% so 12 * 0.85 gives about 10.2 hours of gameplay. That's the basic math used, and either way, accurate or not, the comparison between power sources is perfectly accurate as it is based on actual wattage.

Note: We do not recommend the EZFlash range of products. They are very low quality internals, and insanely power hungry, using more power alone than the entire console + IPS + CleanAmp on full volume.

Low Battery Indicator

The Game Boy Advance CleanJuice will turn the built-in low power indicator LED red when the battery is low, indicating 15-20 minutes play time left.

Note: versions sold prior to August 2020 require the Low Voltage add-on board to do this).

Charging

The CleanJuice will take about 1 to 2 hours to charge from completely dead. This may vary depending on your charging cable.

Indicator Lights

On the PCB of the CleanJuice itself, there are 2 LEDs and colors may vary.

If the PG labeled light on the board is on, this means the USB cable is providing power to the system. This also means you can power your console from the USB without draining the battery - plug and play option.

If the CHG labeled light on the board is on, this means the USB is charging the battery. When it goes off, the battery is fully charged.

Both indicator lights will be on when module is charging. When module is fully charged, only the PG light will remain.

If you connect a USB cable and the PG light does not turn on, your cable or power supply are faulty.
