whats the battery life when playing DS games?

GBA games I've never really measured... I'd say somewhere around  6-8 hours.

DS games are significantly lower. Probably 3-4 hours with something in the DS slot and 4-5 hours without something in the DS slot (some games support this, others don't)

Hmm, using Moonshell, and nothing in the DS slot, I've gotten more than 6 hours. Most of that is with headphones and with the lid closed.

I've been getting ~5-6 hours of DS gaming from my Supercard on a full charge.

With the lid closed, the screens are off so you are saving power there.

I've never gotten 6 hours in DS mode with my supercard when playing a game. I'd say my battery probably isn't that stressed, I've only really started using it often since i got my super card.

SuperCard got 4 hrs 5 mins when ran with an almost complete system load. See here for my test setup and results ->
