Not very long. ;)

Check Ben's original VCSp page http://www.classicgaming.com/vcsp at the old site so you don't risk infection. I think it says running thje Atari by itself, the 9v will run about 45 minutes, but that's with seperate batteries for the screen.

If I'm correct, the screen draws 450-500mah, and the Atari isn't very efficient with electricity, so I'm going to say that you'd be lucky to get even a half hour out of it.

Just use a Ni-Mh RC battery for it, so you can actually play a game on it before the battery is kaput.

I'll be honest with you - I would have never guessed that.
