SNESp Battery?

Can I use a 9v (cd no li) for a SNES portable? this portable will just be something to have where there is no Outlets, like a Car, or in the Middle of nowhere lol, I just found this Battery sitting in an old Remote control car, I dont know if its good because its been sitting in my basement for a few years.

NiCd batteries are lame! Get a NiMH.
9v is badish for the PSone screen, and I don't know how the SNES will take it. And my guess is that the battery you found is 9.6v.

Get a Ni-MH battery for an SNESp, make sure it's around 7 volts; Radioshack sells a nice 7.2v pack that would work perfectly. 9v is just pushing it a bit for the PSOne screen. Also, if you plan on getting any substantial playtime out of your portable, I recommend a battery rated at 3 amps or greater, it'll simply give you better playtime.

ok, Just had it laying around so I thought Ide ask if it was any good.
Should have figured it was bad if the Car would only run like 20 min or so on it.

Radio Shack should just add "Perfect battery for portable SNES" to the battery description, because it is.

I found some 2500 mah NiMH double A batteries at Batteries+ that were four for $10. If you have a soldering iron that can get hot enough to solder batteries, it isn't hard to make your own packs. Desoldering braid does a terrific job of connecting the battery terminals. I made a 7 cell pack for my SNESP and it works great. I should be able to get about three hours of playing time on a full charge.

I agree. This is a kick ass battery, cause I just bought one from RatShack.

However, here's a cool tidbit:

Remember those "torpedo" rechargeable packs made for the gamegear?
Well, they use this exact size pack, except the original NiCads suck and by now are looooooong dead.

Soooo, I just spliced the wiring to the new pack from RatShack, and presto, it's a ready-power source for all my portables and anything that uses 7.2v!!!

Best thing of all, it recharges using an ac adapter from a genesis.

Cheers,
