First SNESp.

950mA seems a little high.

I think mine ran around 850mA. And something with the PSOne screen sound broke on mine so I had a 250mA 2 watt amplifier in there too.

Sweet! My batteries came today.

I got this charger, but it looks like they forgot the clips. Do I need those?

Here's the diagram for wiring the batteries to the PCB.

So Brian said he was nervous wiring up these batteries. What's the danger here? And after I do that, where do I connect wires from the batteries to the snes/tv to power it up?

HMMMM....

[Loc]

Fabulous. So who wants to wire these up for me?

[Loc]

Do I need the clips that come with the charger or not?

After I wire up the batteries according to the diagram, do I then just attach a wire from the positive of one battery, and another wire from the negative of the other battery, and connect those wires to the snes/tv like with the AAs?

What do you mean by clips? I'm guessing no - solder it however you want it.

No. Look at the diagram again. See where it says "charge load" at P- and P+? Those are your negative and positive terminals. Connect to those.

These clips. They were supposed to come with my charger, but they didn't.

So this diagram would be correct?



If I was following the diagram on page 333 of Ben's book, I would replace the charge jack with my smart charger, right?

Thanks for all the help so far. Really appreciate it.

[Life of Brian]

^It all looks correct to me.

[Loc]

I soldered a male RC jack to my smart charger plug.

If I connected this to a female RC jack that was connected to the charge load on the PCB, this would charge the batteries just fine, right? Just want to make for sure.

I wired up the batteries today. No explosions here. I was nervous at first, but felt more comfortable as I was close to finishing. I did it in the garage so it wouldn't damage my room if it did go aflame.

I tested the battery life and got 3 hours and 47 minutes. That was more than I expected. I also timed the charging time and got a little more than 2 hours. Everything looks to be working fine. These batteries are pretty awesome.

Next step is to get a case. I've been thinking about the DC-45 or the JB-65 from Polycase. I'd also like to add a low battery light.

[Tibia]

I like the JB-65 myself. I was considering using it for an NOACp at one point, but the board failed long before I got to the point of ordering a case.

[Loc]

I got my order from polycase yesterday. I'm going to use the JB-65.

Anyway, I have 2 questions. Is it possible to add a second speaker to my pocket tv? What about RGB?
