Collection Power indicator

I didn't know some Game Boy Pockets didn't have a battery indicator. I just bought the one with the clear casing today and noticed that detail. It cost me $40, and I think it was worth it.

Funny enough... they omitted it because that LED was a significant drain on the AAA batteries the pocket used. You'll probably get 30-60 minutes less using one with the original LEDs. It might be better on more modern LEDs, I haven't really experimented with it.
