There are a few modern power replacement options for the WonderSwan. Since it also takes AA batteries by default, rechargeable AAs are also worth considering.

USB C Mods

WonderSwan Color USB-C Power Module - This provides power over USB C. It does not contain a battery, so the usb c cable must remain plugged in to use it. Quite useful for testing.

Battery Mods

WonderPack - USB C Battery Mod - Battery mod created by FlashMasta (Can be purchased bundled with the FlashMasta and a headphone adapter for a small discount). Contains a 2,000 mAh LiPo, and charges over USB C. Battery life is estimated at 10 hours when using with an IPS modded WonderSwan Color on max brightness. Supports charge and play. This battery replaces the stock AA carriage completely, and sticks out a little bit more.
