Hi,
Anyone know how many Amps does a genesis use per hour?
edit: it's a v.3 and is it 1Amp per hour?

id say less than one amp maybe even .3 amps

i really have no idea but the snes takes about .5 and it just seems like a gen 3 would take less

my genesis power supply is .3 amps. they usually give more power than the system so it's probably around .2 amps

are you serious?!?!?!? I read the output on the AC-DC plug and I thought it was joking ...

. Hmmm... anyone know how many amps a PSone LCD screen would consume? I might use a 6600 mAH (2 3300 mAH parrallel) but this is definatley making my mind change, unless the PSone is so non-efficient I need to stay at 6600 mAH (which I really doubt I will need to "return").

im pretty sure a 3300 volt battery would kill your system

maybe a 3300 ma battery

No, a 3300 volt battery is fine

.
edit: Nevermind, I found how much it draws from the brightness mod

. 330mAH or .33A

. Add a little (maybe) for the stereo so .3A and .4A =.7A. Wow so 3.3/.7= I don't know, 4-5 hours of playtime yay!!! I think I might want to find a 4A battery to = 5-6 hours, perfect for my 6 hr. road trip and 2 hr. the next day coming this summer. And the battery won't take as much space as I thought
