Nomad Battery Question

Post by ssnik992 » Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:09 am

I am currently working on making a battery pack for my Sega Nomad. I just need to know what the polarity of the battery connectors on the back are. I can send pictures if needed.

The contacts circled are direct battery contacts used for the standard Nomad battery. I just need to know which one is positive and which is negative.

Your trusty multimeter should do the trick.
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

Sadly, I don´t have a multimeter to test the contacts with. So if anyone else has any clue on the polarity, please reply with info.

If I was going to test the contacts on the Nomad, how would I go about doing that? I have no idea how to use a multimeter. Thanks for the help.

Well, I say, pic of the multimeter would help, because I don't knowhow the different types work.

If you still have the original battery, match it to the contacts. There should be markings on it to indicate whats there.
