And I was wondering if I could desolder the button cell batteries and solder the motor and capacitor unto the lithium ion battery of my GBA SP so I would have an "emergency" power source.

Generated Energy
So I bought this cool little crank generated energy flashlight last weekend.
And I was wondering if I could desolder the button cell batteries and solder the motor and capacitor unto the lithium ion battery of my GBA SP so I would have an "emergency" power source.

A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.

Re: Generated Energy
You could do that probably but you would most likely need to build a power regulator to regulate the voltage down to the SP's charging voltage, but I don't know how many mA that motor generates when spun...
BTW, that little red thing to the right of the motor is a diode.

yeah I guess it could work in theory... hook it up wrong and kaboom!... wouldn't it take up less space and save your elbows if you just carry another battery?
