How long does a 3DS have when the light turns red?
When the power indicator on a 3DS turns red, about how much time is remaining on its battery life? I am asking this for all types of 3DS.

For standard 3DS: (I don't have all of the 3DS versions to tell you about them)
A few minutes, if you're actively using it.
Mine's lasting about 5-10 minutes until it starts blinking, depending on enabled features (3d, WiFi,..), current game, screen brightness, etc.
Sleep mode should last longer (30 minutes?), but I haven't watched the battery die in sleep mode, yet.

It takes about 3 \xbd hours to fully charge the battery pack with the power off, although this will vary depending on how much charge is left in the battery when the recharge begins. The system can be used while the battery is recharging, but this will increase recharging time.3ds xl power issue - blue light turn on then off

Answer 2
That depends on your model, charging, and usage methods.
My 3DS lasted about 10 minutes after hitting Red, and 2 after hitting Critical playing Mario Kart 7 - Not a power hungry game.
My New 3DS XL lasts between 25-30 minutes on Red, and 5 on Critical playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, while exploring, not in massive battles. It also has more internals it needs to power than the original 3DS-two extra cores, twice the RAM, Face tracking to name a few-yet lasts vastly longer than the 3DS does.
Both are either always or never on the charger, at 5 brightness, and no power saving.
The New 3DS XL not only has a physically larger battery than the 3DS XL, but also slightly more power storage space ((mAh)). Batteries were also improved from day-1 3DS systems to todays systems as well.
The 3DS non-XL version was a failure batterywise-Never leave your charger behind.
Answer 3
It generally lasts around 15-30 minutes depending on whether WiFi, 3D, and other things are on. My 3DS died a few seconds ago, so I can confirm it.
