Custom External Battery Pack

johnbjuice · Post by **johnbjuice** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 12:35 pm

For my N64p I will be using 6 rechargeable D-cells for power - I want to make them into an external pack.

How? Is there a certain way I should do it, or should I just solder them together and wrap them in something to keep them together?

I really don't want to buy a battery holder, as this would make the batteries even more clunky, but do I have to?

Don't they sell a type of shrink wrap for that? I remember seeing some at batteryspace.com

I remember the time-bomb N64. Didn't that use D cells?

(Found it through a search for "time bomb" in the N64 section)

The idea of using piping to house batteries is a good idea...yeah. It could work.

Basically, my N64p will be wall or external battery powered, and I am trying to make a large pack for car trips and stuff.

The D-Cells are 10,000 mAh...yes I will get awesome battery life.

Any other ideas? They're quite welcome!

buy a bowflex, you WILL need it...

try li-ion from power101, they work and are fairly lite

Ok, I have got plans made.

I know the batteries are heavy, but once again, they're external. Like in your pocket.

Anyways...

Closerize please!
