Battery Life

If I was to use this Tyco RC battery pack, 7.2V, how long do you guys (with more portablizing experience) think the battery will last on an SNESp?

If it will give me a few hours, I will most likely get that for my power source. I will also be using the Hip Gear Screen, just so you know what the power is going to. Thanks

If it doesn't say the capacity, we can't tell you how long it will last.

anyway to find out the capacity? I got my super nintendo off of ebay yesterday, today I ripped it open, I have the monitor, and now I am starting the wiring process of it all, so then I am trying to get the battery stuff down, because I know nothing about it, I thought I would ask for your guys' help, so thanks.

If your WalMart has that battery, it may say on, but odds are, it won't. Usually you can only find it on the manufacturer's website, or a seller's site.

Is there a long lasting "cheap" battery I would be able to use, that would hold a charge for a while? Or should I just try to use normal batteries on it?
Thanks

I found this on the web, do any of these batteries work for what I described above?

You don't want a ni-Cd battery, they die over time. Get a Ni-MH battery instead. I would reccomend getting a battery pack from Radio Shack, a 7.2V 3000 mah Ni-MH RC car battery would be the best. Ebay has them a LOT cheaper than radio Shack though.

Yeah i got 2, 7.2V 3300mAh batteries + wall charger for about 45. Much better than what my radio shack was charging for 1.
