Keep in mind that 6.4Ah will run a gamecube and a LED modded psone screen for 2 hours. 7Ah might give you about 2:20

What kind of price difference would I be looking at?

I'm not trying to run it in a car. I just thought it would be cool if I made some sort of portable device (with its own screen) I could just plug the GC into and play without plugging it in.

So one of these would work then?;

Just out of interest, are you guys sure the GC has an internal power supply? Because there's a large brick shaped block on the power cable which is clearly labeled "power supply"...

If it drops below 9.9 will it cause any damage to the console, or will it just turn off?

So if I just wired a 10-12v cell (or cells) up to the part the power supply runs into, it'll run? Because I was thinking of making some sort of set up with its own screen using on of these;

Maybe with a circuit to monitor the battery level.

Would I need to build some sort of circuit to regulate the power from the cells or would they be fine on their own?

I'm new to console modding, I asked about this on GameFAQs and someone linked me here.

Anyway, basically I just want to make my Gamecube portable, with the minimum amount of modding, i.e. I just want to build the best battery operated power supply I can for it. I've looked into buying commercially ...
