I dunno where this 2 hours nonsense comes from. I had a Lynx 1 back in the day and when it broke I was given a Lynx 2 to replace it and I used to take my machine into school everyday with rechargable batteries in it which generally didn't last as long as normal batteries like Duracell.

I used to get 4 hours on on my Lynx 1 with volume and 5 hours on my Lynx 2 with volume. If I used Duracells I could get 6 hours.

2 hours were the maximum time between charges for NiCd batteries, back in the day. Saved me a lot of money on alkalines!

i too got the lynx and had to take it back 3 times because every couple weeks it would loose verticle lines till gameplay suffered

i then got the lynx and it was great my kit came with the adapter so i often used it i also made my own batterypack with a 6 C batt holder and the cord from a walkman that had the same plug

the screen blur wasnt any worse than the on the gameboy
