It wants 8.5v, I bet 7.4v-10v ish would be ok.

So, Do you think a 9.6vlt battery will work?

When fully charged, a 9.6v battery will be over ten volts, but you'll probably be fine. Try it and see.

I would but it's a friends ps2 and i promised him a portable and so i can't screw this up.
So,I sorta need a expert,if i try and fail. I owe him a new ps2 which i cannot afford.

What kind of battery outputs that voltage? You can always regulate down.

Some rc car battery.
I use them all the time i 've got 3.
I guess your right i could regulate them down buy i don't know how.

You could buy a regulator.

Linear regulators are butts and you shouldn't use them.

Find a switching regulator, they are way more efficient.

Like maybe this.

Maybe I didn't read that right, but I thought it said 17V.

I don't understand on how to wire that switching regulator.
Those diagrams hurt my brain. I need a like paint pic.
I tried to understand it but I am terrible at reading them.
