Which batteries?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Which batteries?

Post by seanmacdonn »

I'm going to be making a portable n64. Which batteries are better?

-or-
http://www.batteryspace.com/highpowerpo ... roved.aspx
Do they both work at 7.4V (2 in a series) and still power the n64 and the ps1 screen?
The only reason I'm asking this is because of my next question:
What does the 25A rate (1st link) and 50A rate (2nd link) mean? (I tried looking it up but that made me more confused, and I know they are expensive, thats why I'm asking before I buy them)

That's just the max discharge rate which you won't get near. Either would be fine for an N64 portable.

what is the minimum discharge rate? I'm still looking around, and I found some high capacity ones:http://www.all-battery.com/polymerli-io ... 30104.aspx
I'm not sure what the discharge rate is on these (is it 10A?) will this work? they're cheaper.

So these should work. Well I've seen what you recommend for a pcb for these batteries:
http://www.batteryspace.com/highpowerpo ... arate.aspx
which is this one:
http://www.batteryspace.com/pcbfor74vli ... limit.aspx
but would that work on these:http://www.all-battery.com/polymerli-io ... 30104.aspx

I'd prefer to buy it from the same site as the batteries, but if they don't sell a compatible one, I'll buy it somewhere else. Could you provide me with a link from the all-battery website (if they have it. If they don't take your pick of a website, unless the ones you recommend work for these)
