Post by **Triton** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 5:15 pm

well sorta, i have some more stuff figured out and batteries lined up. 1 radioshack 7.2v 3000mAh batt for the screen(btw i have a friend fixing it now will be fixed mebe in a week or 2 or so) and rechargeable 1.2v 2200mAh AA batts from walmart. other than that I have nothing to say except a question or 2.
#1 about how long will the screen run on that battery?
#2how long would the 3.3v line run on 6 of those AA(3 in series with 3 more in parrallel for 3.6v at 4400mAh)?

wish me and my friend luck!

umm....can't you do the division yourself?
runtime=Amps you have/Amps needed

...i guess i can do the math...i hate math lol. would rather have other people do the thinking for me!

yes i am lazy, ok the way i figure it (the 3.3v line) will run around 3 hours! of course, i could be wrong(most likely) and the screen (with out led mod) will run about 3 hours, sounds good to me, all i need now is to get the dang screen fixed!

the NiMh battery plus the Nimh AAs are gonna be kinda heavy. I have just one 7.2v 3000Ah NiMh rc battery and it's relativly heavy. just saying that just using one battery would probably be better.........

every single time I've gone on a plane with my N64p they've asked me to open my bag and then they'd take a look at it. It went through a procedure to check for bombs a couple times, too

!!!!!!!!!
