Psp on-the-go charging?

totokan · Post by **totokan** » Fri May 20, 2005 7:00 pm

I am going on a trip on tuesday, and i will be on a coach bus for 6 hours or more. Is there any way to:
A) run PSP off batteries
B) charge it off batteries
or any other things i can use to charge it while i'm on this bus? I can't order anything like that power brick, because it's not out yet, but could i make something before tuesday?
OR
Can i convert a USA Female power plug ( like a wall outlet) to go to batteries and plug something in (the PSP charger) ?

replace the end of the power plug (the end that plugs into the wall) with a bunch of Ds or something else with high capacity.

yah, thats good, but i need my power plug, and i don't think i can get an extra in time. I think i can do something else, and i have all the cables i need. I'll post if it works. BTW, how many volts are in each type of battery? (1.5 AA, i know, but how much is D and C and AAA and 9V?)

well 9v is pretty obvious it 9!!

the rest are 1.5 i believe

yah, i realized after the post. If i use a 9.6V battery from a remote control car, will it short the psp?
red= positive
black=negetive
Correct? (I'm just making sure)

whats the psp input?

if the input is less than 9.6v use a converter

and yes red positive
black negative

cut it off and put alligator clips on the PSP end so you can switch between plug and batteries

or 2 toggle switches

Typically, red is + and black is -.

I remember making a D battery pack for my GBC in 6'th grade. I accidentally left it running for about 3 days, and it was still going.

It lasted an extra day or so. (I figured out it was still on around 9:00, played it till I fell asleep I guess, woke up, still running.) Not too bad for a machine designed to run for 15 hours on a pair of AAs.

OK, psp takes 5v. I'm going to just find my car charger and take that apart. than, i'll hook it up to a 9.6V battery pack. Anything i should do or add that i'm missing?
