When my son traded his DS in for a DSi, I found out that the DS car charger does not work with the DSi. There is a kit you can buy that allows for charging both in a car or a USB port but it cost more and all we needed was car charging.
We use it for long car rides or if we forget to charge his DSi, have to run out somewhere and he wants to play.
So far it has worked perfectly. What more can you say? It fits, it works and it charges.
There isn’t a lot to say about a utilitarian product like this one. You plug it in the 12v jack in your car(I have two)on one end, and plug it into the DSi on the other. There is a green led on the device indicating it is working, and the normal orange charge light on the DSi. I’m not sure, but I think it charges a little quicker on the adapter than from the original AC charger.

My son bought this shortly after he bought his DSi and discovered that his DS charger was not compatible. That was months ago and it still works great despite the beating it receives in our car. It’s not perfect, sometimes I have it does not make a good connection and I have to turn it a little, but once I adjust it, it works great. Glad he bought this, makes long car rides much easier.

There is no doubt about the success of the Nintendo DSi, and its recent success in Nintendo’s video game system arsenal. Yet with all of the portable gaming on the go, or all the snapshots your can take with the DSi’s digital camera feature, you do need a place to charge it on the go. This DSi Car Adapter works very well, and can charge your Nintendo DSi system very easily, and with no faults. This is easy to hookup, and does a good job at charging. While it works great, it doesn’t work with the earlier Nintendo DS systems: the original DS or DS Lite. If you’ve just started to enjoy your new Nintendo DSi, you’ll definite want this as safe and simple way to charge it and drive.

Time will tell if it lasts.
