    I’m trying to recall. I know we always had a solid supply of rechargeables underway. I also distinctly remember that there is a kind of blanked out hand off screen between players because of fog if war. I don’t recall it having any kind of sleep function. But I know it could run for several hours no issue. I don’t recall having to mind the batteries in particular.

    Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

      Some Game Boy Advance games actually had a software-based sleep mode!

      You pressed L+R and Select.

      On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.
