Battery, power & USB-C upgrades

Replace a tired battery or explore rechargeable power and USB-C charging upgrades suited to your hardware.

We review battery replacements, rechargeable conversions and USB-C power or charging mods, including compatible options from FunnyPlaying and giltesa. Connector fit, voltage requirements, charging circuitry and battery protection all matter when selecting parts. USB-C does not automatically add fast charging, data transfer or video output. We will explain the capabilities of the proposed installation and any shell changes before work begins. Include your current battery and charger details in the request.

What happens next

  1. Tell Texas Board Works your hardware model, its condition and the result you want. For homebrew or modding, include the firmware version and any existing modifications.
  2. Confirm the proposed work, price and shipping instructions before sending your hardware.
  3. Create a Texas Board Works account when submitting your repair to track your device and communicate with the repair team.

This listing describes a service for hardware you own. Ready-to-play consoles are available separately in the shop.
