I am trying to make my portable as small as possable. I need 12V for my screen and somthing with high mAH. Can some one suggest a "thin" battery? I can fit a few because its a 7" X 4 3/4" box but I need some batteries 1/2" or under in depth.

Li-poly is the thinnest around at the moment. Expensive though

you would need to run them in series which i think is bad

Yeah, its parallel that's risky.

I thought that might have been what you were thinking of. In parallel, you could overcharge the batteries, and, KABOOM!
