Hello everybody, We're sorry for opening a new topic, but since nobody seems to reply to our old topic any more, we'll just try it like this.
We've got everything sorted out for our portable, except for the power things. We're going to order all our stuff we still need this Saturday so we can start building as soon as possible. However, we still need some help before we can start.
We figured out that we're going to need 2 power jacks, one for wall power and one for charging the battery. Question 1: Are these charge jacks any good for both wall power and battery charging? http://dx.com/p/2-5mm-dc-power-jack-connector-black-10-piece-pack-124200
Next we need the chargers themselves. For the wall power we're going to be using a regular 12v power supply that just plugs directly into the n64. But what can we use for charging the batteries? These are the ones we're gonna use: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-7V-4500mA...US_Rechargeable_Batteries&hash=item4ac7d763f3
To continue on these batterys, both 3.7v ones have a circuit protection board, do we need them both? Or can we remove one circuit protector safely as they will ofcourse be wired up to get the required 7.4v.
Final question is about the on/off switch. We wanted to go with this: http://dx.com/p/electrical-power-control-on-off-rocker-switch-20-pack-134101 Will these be able to handle the current flowing through them, or will they just catch fire as soon as we turn it on? These questions might sound noobish. Which is no surprise, because we are in fact noobs. I hope you guys can help us out! We're eager to start!
