This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
The Sega Game Gear had a battery problem. It soon became apparent that six AA batteries for roughly six hours of play was an expensive and wasteful way of gaming on the go. To compensate, Sega produced the Game Gear Battery Pack and later Game Gear PowerBack, but a number of third party manufacturers took on the challenge too.
