Hey, im actually working on my first N64P and i was thinking about using the Thin Prismatic Polymer Li-Ion Cell it runs at 3.7V, 1500mAh and they are 1/8" Thick, I was thinking i could get two of those to run the 3.3V 2.7A line with those to save space http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?P ... rodID=1254
i dont know if it will work, its my first haha

You will have to run them in parallel though, and that is dangerous. You will also still need another 2 in series, to make your 7.2V line, and unless you use the PS1 screen, you will need more for that too.

Is the PSOne mobile battery pack something that would work (well?) with an N64p?

Are there advantages? Disadvantages? Problems?

i found by using old high amp laptop battery cells i achieved high battery life, and when you combine about 3 cells together u get about 11.5v so thats not bad, since the volt convs i used would work until 12v rail dropped below 10.5 about 1.5 ~2 hours later.., also if ur not willing to solder the batteries.. forget it, u save room, and clutter...

Why are lead-acid batteries heavy?

Lead is very heavy, and the acid, which is more dense than water, is fairly heavy, and it all has to be sealed.

7 amps/hour is still a whole lot of power.

Would hacking a PSP battery work? I know that people make fun of the psp for its 4-6 hour battery life, but the battery is, powering a system as powerful as ps2, and it uses optical discs, so even though psp has short battery life, the battery itself might be pretty powerful.

the standard battery has 1400mah

the problem with the psps, is the whole system is designed to be super low power, unlike the n64 which requireds a large amount of amperage on its 3v rail, and the lcd's which require a small but good amount, a 1.4 amp batt just would never cut it, ud drain it in a matter of minutes, maybe 20 minutes of full play, maybe..., i found that the radioshack rechargeable cells work great, you get 16 of those babies inside ur console, now your talking game play, tho you would getby with only 8....
