mAh Rating for Old PS2

eastsider_1 · Post by **eastsider_1** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 11:12 am

I need to know about the old ps2's maximum mAh rating. This battery seems to be very cheaply priced and a good mAh rating. Plan on using a DC-DC converter to reduce it to 12V, and power the PSone screen off of SONY's camcorder battery, 7.2V @8000mAh. I can hopefully run the PS2 for about 2 hours, and the screen for about 8.5 hours.

Well, it's a current system so I estimate about 3-4 AH, but the PS2 probably needs about 12v because it has an normal 5.25" DVD drive, which require 5v and 12v to run.

equipment doesn't have a mAh rating...
It's mA rating on the other hand is ~2000mA, with a boost to ~2800mA when spinning up a disc

thanks. the batterey im using for the PS2 should last for about 2.5 hrs. not bad tho, u guys know where i can get a 12V+ 7000+mAh battery for a fairly good price?

Well, easiest way is to hook two portable DVD player batteries in series, they're usually around 6,000mAH and hooking 2 together (they're around 6v-9v) would give you over 12v. Or you could choose to get a PStwo for your project and live with 1 9v one. I believe the power consumption is better for them tooâ€¦

Would 8AA NiMH batteries at 2300mAh a piece add up to be 18400mAh? Just wondering 'cause when you hook up batteries in series the voltage is added on as well. If so i think iI'll get these that come with a charger.

when in series it adds just voltage not ma you would still have just 2300
