Can you describe the type of screw and captive washer ?
Thank you.
i just ordered a new battery as I already got a new power cord & it won’t charge at all.
Hoping new battery does the trick.
Thanks again.

While a very late reply, someone else may find this useful.
In short, no. Not at all. The DS Lite Battery I own (Original) Is listed as
USG-003
3.7v
1000 mAH
3.7 Wh
Where as the DSi battery I own (Again, an original straight from my console) is listed as:
TWL-003
3.7v
840 mAH
3.1 Wh
While the same voltage and a slight difference in capacity, the DSi Battery is slightly longer and slimmer in width to the DS/DS Lite Battery and you will need to find a battery suited for the DS/DS Lite you're using. Many places will sell these batteries but do your research as not all of these are created equal.
