Wii Laptop Battery Help

[stanokaka]

Hey, as most of you know im making a wii laptop, i just need a battery now and i have a samsung nc10 laptop battery and was wondering if someone could tell me if i could use it to power the wii and screen?



Its 11.1 v and 5200 mAh.

As far as I am aware the Wii needs 12v and will not actually start up at anything under 12v. It will run at 10v I think but it will not actually start up with less than 12v.

So 11.1v Li-Po's will work but only if the Li-Po's have a good charge on them. If they less than around 50% they probably wouldn't power on the Wii.

Well i have another laptop battery, its 11.1 v.
What could i add to one of those batterys that would make the wii power up before 50%?

If i connect 10 of these up to each other http://www.budgetbatteries.co.uk/21663/ ... e-battery/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Would they work?

Yes but it wouldn't power the Wii for very long.

It would power it for almost 3 hours(according to palmertech's readings), but that's without a screen.

3 hours? I thought it was more? Wii runs 17w, 17w / 12v = 1.4 x 1000 = 1400 mah batterys would last an hour? One of these batterys is 2850 mah which should run the wii for 2 hours shouldnt it?

Hi, I would like to know if 1.5 volt rechargeable AAs could power a WII, if so, how many? I know 8 of them is 12 volts but I don't know how long it would last.
P.S. I also have access to many rechargeable 9 volt batteries also, if that helps.
