How many amps does an american SNES use?
Moderator:Moderators
i have an american version super nintendo, and i was wondering how many amps it uses so i know what kind of batteries i could use. I was just wondering because i have a 7.2V 2100 mAH battery, but i says not to draw under 30 amps, which i'm not too worried about because i have to run the LCD too, better safe than sorry, because i don't want to ruin my dad's RC car battery. Thanks

Hmm, waited one hour and thirteen minutes before posting again. A little bit impatient, are we?ABCinc wrote:OK i found out, it takes 42.5 amps. thanx for the help guyz... if there was any
42.5A is way off - it's definitely under 1A. The SNES mini is something like 500mA, so I'm guessing the original design SNES is a bit more than that.
Are you sure you're reading that right?ABCinc wrote:I was just wondering because i have a 7.2V 2100 mAH battery, but i says not to draw under 30 amps

I did not realize that it took a small nuclear reactor to power a SNES phatABCinc wrote:OK i found out, it takes 42.5 amps. thanx for the help guyz... if there was any
Re: How many amps does an american SNES use?
i was told watts*volts=amps, and it takes 8.5 watts and an intake of 5 volts, and that makes 42.5 right?
well i guess i was told wrong... Wait, it says it shall not be discharged over 30 Amps, so it needs to be discharged under 30 amps, not over, i guess i was high on desoldering fumes, sorry about that...

Ampere x Voltage = Wattage.

At first I thought he may have meant Watts. But that's still DAMN high. Where'd you get this information?

well i guess i was told wrong.
amps*5v=8.5w
amps=8.5w/5v
amps=1.7A
It's less than that in actuality though. Power bricks are always designed to be able to provide more power than necessary.
