u have to use a 7808how are u gonna run the GC off 9.6 volts though

no
the gc is gana run off of 13.3
3.7 battery + 9.6

how should i set up the 7808 just put it on the line does it need to be connected to a heat sink or anything

the batteries i have together have 7000 maH (thats how yea say mili amps right) so i should get like 3 hours if my math is right cause im doing the psone led mod. well 3.25 to be exact on what i calcutlated

(witch i hope im right thats gana be sweet)
batteries
3.7 volts--- 6000 maH
9.6 volts--- 1000 maH

Yes, just get your average heatsink from Radio Shack. You connect it like this:

Code: Select all

             ____ 
            |    |
            |7808|
            |____|
    Input ___| | |___ Output (8v)
               |
               |
          Ground

oh, and you don't have a 7000mAh battery, either....it's actually more like 2.4ish Ah when wired in series.....er, I think

...I know for sure that it's not 7000mah...

could u tell me how u calculated that then
cause im going by what it said at portables of doom

mikm240 · Post by **mikm240** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:21 pm

ok ill give all the info on my batteries and i really need the calculation on my play time

4 lithium polymer batteries (1500 mili amps each)--in parallel (in parallel they should add up mili amps not voltage right?)

9.6 rc car battery(1000mili amps)-------------in series with the 4 lithium polymer (this adds the voltage, and i see why it wouldnt be 7000 mili amps now cause series doesnt add mili amps only voltage.

so i need a answer on it cause im lost on how to calculated it.

Well, I need to know:

a) Approximately how many mA the GC needs to run...

and

b) How many a PSone screen uses (if that is what you're using)...

The equation is:

B / (S + C) = Time

B : Batteries' mA rating
S : Screen's mA usage
C : Console's mA usage
