Battery problem!

[AdumUp]

This is the battery I'm using, it was a donor from a friend. I'm following Harshboy's wiring diagram for my project, But I'm not sure how to connect both batteries and the protection circuit. The Case says the part is a Polaroid BT 42 7.4v rechargeable battery pack, if that helps at all.

They're already connected. Just wire up + and - on the connector thing.

The points the batteries are already connected to?
or under the green thing with the gold prongs?

haha, thats Marshalls Battery he used in his L64...

Good battery I must say, though it is always good to get the highest mAh you can to make the play time longer and fun

What's the battery life on this? Its like 3200 MaH I think, that should be about 2 hours right

Mario's power draw guide calculates 2-2.5 hours with a 5500mAh battery and an LED modded PS1 screen. I don't know what you're using for a screen, but I doubt you'll get two hours with that battery.

That battery is 4200mah

Also when I used that battery in the portable I would get 2 hours all the time. I think mario may have some problems with his measurements.

I think it's hilarious that people keep trying to get that battery, it's not special, just happened to be what I had at the time. I'm sure you will find lots of other ones that work the same way and that are easier to get.

They were donated from a friend of mine who just junked his old portable DVD player becuase the screen broke, I wasn't trying to find a special set of batteries. And the plastic case that I ripped apart says that the batteries are 3200MaH
