I need a step up regulator

[themadhacker]

I need a regulator that takes 3.7v and bumps it up to 5v. Any suggestions?

thanks. I'll probably use this in my playboy. I'll have two 3800 mah psp batteries wired in parallel to get me 7600 mah. It will save me a ton of space, weight, and get me better battery life compared to using the crappy nimh cells that I currently have

Yeah, usually Li-po > Ni-mh. The only thing I might ever use ni-mh or ni-cad again will be very low power clone systems. Its amazing how little power these 3.5 inch screens draw, isn't it?

I know. almost too good to be true. I am estimating that with the psp batteries powering the psone, a 3.5 screen, and a small amp, that I should get a nice 9.5 hours of play time. However, the regulator will probably lower the battery life some, so I will most likely get something like 8 hours of battery life. Still good, though.
