Reet....
I've got a 6 cell 11.1v 4400mah battery from a laptop which I'm planning to use for a portable dreamcast....
Not really sure how to go about making a protection circuit for it or even if it already has one built in.... I also wanted to know if i can use the laptop charger to charge the portable dreamcast? I know people say to use a pico power supply but is there a way i can use the power brick...
There is a circuit board attached to the 6 cells which I don't know if it is a protection circuit...
I did see somewhere there were circuits for using stacked 3.7v batteries but i don't know if the same ones would apply?
Can anybody help me out? I'm not even sure how to wire the batteries together!
