N64 Battery Question

Post by andrewdorsey »

I have 2 questions.

1. How long will a 7.2 volt 5400mAh lithium ion battery pack power an n64, non LED moded ps1 screen, and an n64 controller?

2. I have a 7.2 volt 5400mAh lithium ion battery and I only have a car charger for it. But I want a wall plug in charger for it. I was wondering if a Zenith PS1 LCD screen's AC/DC wall adapter would be able to charge my battery pack. The AC/DC wall adapter says the output discharge is 7.5 volts and 1500mAh.

Thanks in advance!!! :D :D :D :D :D

(I will be making a N64 portable as soon as I get a screen and 2 controllers) :D

Yes, you can power/charge your system with the psone port. It just will take longer.

With a rough estimate about 2-2.5 hours.

I think we should check to see if you can withstand 220 volts

Well, I have 1 more questions. (I'm such a noob)

How long do you think it will take to fully charge my battery withthe zenith screen adapter.

And...
There's a problem
If I leave the zenith screen adapter in for too long, then the battery could over charge and possibly explode.
So I don't want that to happen, so that is why my question is soooooo important.


I am low on money so eventually I will buy a smart charger for it.

THANK YOU!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Pics of your battery? If it's Li-ion it *should* have built in protection. But not all have them. I have no idea on how long to charge, it took my 6 hour one about 4 hours, but my adaptor puts out 2A. These aren't EXTREMELY nooby questions, but they are pretty well documented. Try searching before you post.

And you won't need a smart charger if your battery has built in protection.

What battery are you using Eurddrue?
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

I can't tell if that has a protection circuit or not, better get this and be safe! use protection. http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?P ... rodID=3954

@DJ711 I'm using some 7.4V 7400 mah batteries in parrallel currently, but I may ditch one of them because it's so heavy.
