NiCd Question - N64p

[nterror]

What voltage/mAh would I need to run an N64 and a PSone screen for roughly 4-5 hours?

Also, does anybody recommend a site to order NiCd's + chargers from? Besides Ebay, of course.

You would need 5000ish at 7.2-7.4v. I highly suggest you dont use those though.

NiCD is heavy, nasty, and highly outdated. Lithium polymer FTW.

Do they still work as well as Li-Pos? I'm not too concerned about weight, honestly.

Aren't NiCds cheaper as well?

 

[samjc3]

NiCD will get maybe 1/4 the battery life in the same form factor as Li-po, and has a cycle life of like 150. Go li-po. they arent very expensive.

Alright, then.

If I put two of those in a series, I could run the 64 and the screen, correct?

 

[samjc3]

Assuming your screen is one of the common ones, yes.

Ok, thanks! Assuming a PSone screen is "common," I'm pretty sure I know all the things I have to buy.

The help is greatly appreciated
