Best battery solution Wii

[techetga]

I want to make a battery powered wii, what battery can I buy best? These are my suggestions:

1. 4 18650's in a battery holder
2. 6 18650's in a power bank
3. An 12v power bank

Other suggestions are welcome.

I would use 14.8v as the wii will take it just fine. Higher volts will draw less amperage and give you longer battery life. I believe the wii also shuts off when it's power source drops to 10 or 11v, which is close to that of a dead 14.8v pack.

Batteryspace has some really nice packs already wired with protection circuits.

I want to connect it to a 12v screen too, would 14.8v damage the screen?

It may. You would need to figure out what sort of regulation the board has. It's likely that it will take a 5v-24v input and drop it down to 5v. Most of the ebay screens are like that. You can also just take 5v from the Wii and use that to power the LCD since the Wii will already be regulating the battery voltage.

I got a Salora DVP-7020. Power supply: DC 10-12V should I try when I get the batteries or buy a new screen off eBay?

I would not feed it 14.8v straight off the battery, then. The Wii has plenty of 5V pins you could use to power it.
