Can somebody point me in the direction of Some batteries, A protection Circuit and A charging Circuit.
Also can I have a pin out of this batteries becuase I dont understand where ground is on the batteries (cause I'm a N00b)

batteryspace.com has some good deals. They have protection circuits (only needed for lithium ion) and chargers, too.
We can't really point you to a specific battery, because we don't know what you're trying to power and how much you're willing to spend.
And there isn't a "ground" on batteries because they don't connect into the ground. what is normally "ground" on most consoles, you just hook up to the battery's negative. negative and positive, that's it.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Wrong. Both Liion and Lipoly need protection/charging circuits; and just about anything Batteryspace sells you comes with one.eurddrue wrote:wrong most li ion have built in protection circuits, now lithium polymer, they need a protection circuitcollinE wrote:(only needed for lithium ion)

As already pointed out above , you didn't give enough information to answer the question.mmoshkowich wrote:Guys I just want to know what a good battery would be for a snes portable??
What are you building, what system/screen etc?
How long do you want it to last?
How much room do you have for batteries?
Is weight a factor?

at least 2500mah but get the biggest capacity you can afford and will fit in your case, you will need 2 cells and the apropriate protection circuit as well as a voltage regulator or two. shouldnt be more than 60 or 80$ depending on how big of batteries you choose

Hello!
I'm in the process of making a portable snes too. however i'm going to take it slooooow. as for the screen, i have to decide between a psone or a gamecube one.
But the first step will be to wire a battery and make it run from there (everything else still original and "cased").
I found one here: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA ... -p-g10-_JM
Can you tell me please, if it will be ok?
it's 2000mah, and it says "FUSIBLE DE SEGURIDAD INTERNO" (internal security fuse). i'm lost there... does it mean that i won't need a protection circuit? and yes, i will be getting two of them.
i don't care if the system lasts less than 2 hours on, since it's a first attemp at doing a portable.
on the down side, they are selling an external charger, which seems uncomfortable... i can't find the plug type...
Thanks a lot for your answer!

You could always get the pack I got. Works nicely. Small. Light. Comes with a charger and assorted adapter plugs.

Pretty cheap, too.

I'm not 100% sure yet, because I'm not even close to being ready to test that stage. But I estimate 2 hours (Cutting it short, because mathematically its closer to 2.8 hours).jjhammerstein wrote:How long does that get you?
I may, in the future get another pack and rewire the whole rig to accept two batteries so I can double the run time. That's a future thing, though, as I have no money for the second set.
