So, as many of you know, my first portable didn't have a PCB in it.
I bought a 14.8v pack which I found from the Portablizing BOM

And it works really well. The problem was their was no protection, so once the cells died, they have a chance of dying. BUT, I found something interesting. When the wii shut off, and I didn't have a charger, I used my multimeter to measure the voltage of each cell. Each one was about 1.6v - 1.8v each.
The Wii doesn't turn on with them this low (You'll get a red light for a split second if you're lucky), with all four cells combined, it's about 7v.
So I just thought I should give an update, and also a "Sort Of" question.
I don't see a reason to get a PCB if the cells still have half of their juice before the Wii shuts off.
Is there still a reason to get one?
