Hey there Happy Momma. From what I know, you cannot use the Leapster Explorer recharger station with the LeapsterGS. You would need to get the recharging battery station specifically made for the LeapsterGS.

No I have both and they are not compatible! I like the GS charger better since I can plug it in without the extra bulk!

I do not think so. The GS does not come with rechargeable batteries, you had to buy those separately and the official kit come with a wall adapter and plug that goes into the GS.

Hi! We never had an original Leapster Explorer and its recharger station. But original and new Explorer rechargers are totally different, so you can not interchange two... :( New Explorer GS uses 2 packs of 2 rechargeable batteries which are charged through AC adapter.

Yes all leapster explorer can be used with the Leappad 2. My son has the Leappad 2 and absolutely loves it! He loved his explorer too. He has learned so much with this product.

The LeapPad1 and LeapPad2work with the entire Leapster Explorer library of game cartridges and digital apps, with the exception of the Photo Mania app.Game cartridges labeled Leapster Explorer, LeapFrog Explorer, Explorer or LeapPad Explorerwill work with the LeapPad. Some digital apps are only designed for LeapPad1 and LeapPad2and cannot be used with Leapster Explorer - theseapps are designed to take advantage of the LeapPad's larger screen, motion sensor and microphone and so are not able to be played on Leapster Explorer.

We have the leapster explorer & it fits that perfect. I know the 2 are shaped different so I doubt it will fit the GS.

No, you need to buy leapster explorer games, which also work with the new leappad tablets.

there is a special rechargable battery pack that you insert into the leap pad. Don't use regular batteries when charging the device, use the battery pack.

I called Leapster with that question and they do not rec rechargeable batteries b/c they aren't as strong as reg batteries even when they are new and thus the game may not work properly. Logically though, I'm wondering the diff. in the batt pack and rech batteries. Hope this helps.

Are you changing disposable batteries or installing the charger pack? The charger looks a little intimidating at first, but it's a snap. Use a screwdriver to remove the covers on the back of the leap pad, then just follow the directional arrows to put in the two cylinder-shaped battery replacements. Replace the covers, then plug in the A/C adapter to the unit and an outlet. It takes a while to charge. The orange light turns off when it's done. Unplug it and you're good to go. The charge lasts for hours. Hope this answers your question.

I believe this is the charging system that can be used for both the "Leapster" (square version) and "Leapster L-Max" (square version) systems.

I'm not sure... Our Leappad2 does not say "explorer" so not sure if u have a different model. But it works great for what we have. �

Yes on the headphone jack. No on the SD, but it has a proprietary slot for Leapster game cartridges which are backward compatible with the older Leapster handheld. It does have a mini-USB cord for connecting to the computer.

No, the LeapPad is not rechargeable. The best you can do is get rechargeable batteries and cycle them.

The Leapster Explorer (B0038APBDA) does NOT come with the rechargeable Battery pack but ASIN# B0038ANO3O (the recharger kit) does. They should really sell these as a package but you have to buy them separate. You will regret not buying the recharger kit after burning through a lot of batteries. To answer your question, YES the recharger kit comes with the rechargeable battery pack.

Most likely not from what I understand and have read the leapster and leapPad games are not compatible

Please note that the adapter is only designed to power your system as your child plays-it does not recharge batteries or charge your system for play away from the outlet.Works with:* LeapPad2 Explorer* LeapPad1 Explorer* LeapsterGS Explorer* Leapster Explorer

I use the sanyo eneloop batteries in my son's Leapster--the original, not the Leapster 2. They last as long as regular batteries and the discharge rate is extremely slow when dormant. Regular rechargeables completely discharge within a matter of days when left unused. Plus, the eneloops last up to 1,000 charges, while the charging station is good for something like 300 charges? I purchased my rechargeables for around $15 with a charger included. My son and daughter are each getting a Leapster 2 for Christmas and I have already purchased more eneloops (@ $10 for 4). I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in the Leapster 2--I seem to remember reading several reviews where people reported opting for rechargeables vs. charging station. Hope this helps!
