Hi, (I'm french, so i'm sorry for my english )
Actually doing a gamecube portable, I'm thinking of including some batteries that I got from a laptop that doesn't work anymore.
The battery is made of 6 of these cells (http://www.amazon.fr/Samsung-Li-Ion-bat ... B005D77MG0) and I wanted to put them in series and in parallel to get a battery a 14.8V batery pack and 4400mAh (or 6600 if I have enough space to put 6 of them) and I've read that I need to protect them with a protection circuit but when I search for one I only find circuits that allow me to put 4 cells to it. So I don't know where to find one that can get 5 or 6 cell and I really don't know how to wire the cells to the protection circuit. Also I wanted to know which charger should I use for charging the battery pack when it'll be done. So, if someone could help me with that that will be very great, thank you guys
Otherwise, if it's not possible to do it with these cells, I found this battery which seems to be nice and I wanted to know if anyone has tested it (http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/12-v-lith ... 89291.html) . But I think that it's really cheap compared the capacity of the battery and I'm quite suspicious, but I don't know much about batteries because it's the first i'm doing a portable.
