I'm wondering if that is 23Amps or some kind of model number.

You must be crazy.. Seriously, 23A inside an AA battery? Come on, I thought you knew more than this :roll:

Besides, battery capacity isn't measured in amps, it's measured in amp-hours/milliamp-hours (mAh.)

it's a kind of camera battery :P...it'd be 23Ah, too, not 23A. and you'd get 10 hours, not 3-5 :roll:....

Dude, those are less than an inch long and about the diameter of a ball point pen.

They are used in door openers, remote entry keys, etc.

Very low current capacity. Probably about 100mA

they're not claiming it to be 23Ah :P...it's real, but not what you thought it was. Also, it's an alkaline battery, meaning no recharging. and it only costs $4, too. meaning there's no way in hell it's a 12V 23Ah battery :P.

Here's 2 more cool batteries, (possibly) not as good, but close enough... And it comes with a smart charger (*Gasp* it's smart)

Unfortunatley it's pretty expensive, but it's much more compact than AA's

hah, more compact than AAs? er, I don't think so :P...that's basically just two 6 cell packs of C sized NiMh (or an RC car battery). they have more capacity, though, than the best NiMh AAs, so they'd work good if you have the space :).

ok. Now, for the Gamecube wire.....i forget what i've done to the Gamecube wire to hook it up to a RC battery. So is inside possitive, and outer negative? (Like the PSone cable) The cable is hidden under layers of duct-tape and cant be found, so can you guys tell me how to connect the RC in to Gamecube power cable? Thanks :) BTW, that second 4500 mAh battery, how long would the power a gamecube and the PSone screen?
