Yup, that will work, however you might want to buy a second one because 1700mAh isn't much for an n64. You may only get around 1 1/2 hours.

most small parts can be found at radioshack not as cheap as online but its better to buy in person
second it seems as if you can just open up the battery pack and solder wires onto the batteries themselves
and wise is right you wont get almost any play time with only one of those batteries so if you want to play for more than an hour double up on the batteries
or get new ones :wink:

NiCd are poo, they have the memory effect that lowers their capacity if you don't fully discharge them before charging them. Avoid them at all costs. NiMH are much better, I got a 3300mAh 7.2v pack from radioshack several years ago for $25 (no charger, though).
Leave the battery in one piece, and just solder onto the wires. They use the same wires for charging and powering stuff, why else would it only have 2 wires. :wink:
