how do you connect li-plies to the system and be able to charge them, obviuosly i've never used them. Just thinking about using them because they would be smaller than the huge 12v 3300mah batt. i was thinking of getting.

Pretty thin, I like it. The only problem is that if you like to play tons like I do, you should get a higher mAh than that. I figure that will only get you 2-3 hours TOPS. Depending on if you do an LED screen mod or not. 2-3 hours is actually not that bad considering how hard it is to find good batteries.

what i mean is, can you have the batts charging from the intergrated charger, and use the system at the same time, or will it kill the batteries.

not unless you have a special circuit or your battery was meant to do that and i think th3e GC battery was meant to do that

What does the cube need to run(voltage and mah)? I know it has the DC-DC in the power supply that converts 12Vish to 3-4 different voltages, but what is the highest outputted voltage form the DC-DC that the cube actually uses to run?

Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

here are the batteries
http://batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageA ... D=217[url]
after connecting the batteries in series, could i then just attach a male r/c car battery adapter to it to charge them. I'd be using a smart charger from batteryspace. Thjis way, i could switch from charger te batteries and using them to power the system

if you have the batteries wired to a protection circuit then sure you can charge and play at the same time
