Dreamcast Power supply

I've just struck apone a great idea.

Looking over Radioshack.com I was thinking of getting rechargable batteries for my N64 when I realized the numbers of the batteries when totaled 12v. The batteries I'm talking about are the 15 minute rechage, rated at 1.2v and 2000mA. Set in a series they'd total 12v and 20 amps.

So instead of buying a laptop battery I thought I'd just spend about $100 (anyways) on the AA and better overall playtime out of them.

What do you think?

um...20A at 12V? That would be 100 of those AA batteries!!

The Radio Shack 15 minute charge batteries are at 2000mA thats 2 amps times 10 shoudl equal 20 unless I woke up in a new reality.

if they're in a series (negative touching positive) the voltage increases, but not the amperage, so 10 1.2v 2000mA batteries connected to make 12v would only have 2 amps.

yeah :p you'd need 10s10p to make 20A 12V which is 100 AA batteries.
