Looking to build a PS3 laptop and I want to use twelve 18650 cells to get 12v out at at least 8a. Anyone know of any good charge management boards other than the one on the wiki? Basically I want one port charge and play but for a 4s battery.
By CMB I mean being able to plug in a power supply...
I need a step up converter for my screen which uses a 12V backlight for my Wii. The screen is 10 inches and the power usage according to the driver board is 12V and more than an amp. I've read that simple ones from amazon or ebay are bad to use and I only need 12v for the screen and the Wii will...
I am using this "one port play and charge with CMB" board as instructed by this BitBuilt Guide. It works fine in my N64 portable prototype 1 (not stress tested though).
As I move into a prototype 2, my concern is that the BCM module referenced above is rated at 3A max. Since the N64 is rated at...
Hey all!
I'm very new to modding and only have some basic electronics experience. I am working on gathering parts for my Wii portable build. I did have a PSOne screen that I was going to use for this project, but it doesn't work.
I recently picked up a portable DVD player at the thrift store...
(Sorry to remove all context from this thread but coming back to this forum, to put it simply... I'm embarrassed to leave such a stupid question up, especially with the backlash it got. Start fresh and all that).
Hey, absolute beginner here! I want to build a PS2 portable (from a SCPH-75004), but I have some concerns. I'm looking to slowly work my way into portablizing the console, starting with making it independent from wall power.
Now what I need to know is, how would I exactly do this? I know I'd...
I've got my N64 portable running on the bench with batteries now. I'm using this BMS (CX-74-2S):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intelligent...2S-Packs-18650-lithium-Satellite/311721987212 . It doesn't have a gas gauge nor battery low indicator from what I can tell.
I prefer not to use one of those...
Hello guys,
I am currently planning on building my first Wii portable with a MB trim.
After hours of research in the forums I began to make a list of parts to buy. I don't want to waste money by buying parts that won't work toghether, therefore I wanted to ask a couple questions before buying...
Hi. This is my first Wii portable and its more like a wii laptop really. I just looking for advice on what battery I should use to power the wii, the screen powers itself so thats taken care of. I've been doing some reading and most people use Li-ion cells to power Wii's but I've never used...
I'm making a portable emulation machine with the pi 4, and im confused about power solutions.
im using this screen with this controller board.
I'm new to this, if you couldnt tell. I realize that it would be difficult to power both with one battery, so i dont mind using more than one. I was...
I've decided to make a laptop portable Wii without a trim but have a couple of question. First question is which battery supply should I use. I've seen a AA x 8 battery holder on Amazon.
SMAKN 8pcs battery AA 12v clip holder. - Amazon choice.
Would this power a Wii? If so for how long...

I thought about creating my own 3s Li-ion balancing/charging circuit to place on my recent projects pcb. But after some research, I havent found any solid leads on how to approach something like this. For comparison, if you search for "DIY audio amp circuit", you get truckloads of great designs...
So I hooked up the famous Red Board™ to my batteries, double checked the connections, and plugged it in. Problem is, one charger didn't charge them at all and the second one caused the red light to flicker quickly and the voltage to drop relatively quickly. The AC adapters have the same ratings...
Gidday everyone,
So my Wii U started to get battery fatigue, I brought a new "extended capacity" one which turned out to be a dud, got given a refund on it, and decided to improve mankind because there was no information out there on the battery!
Li-ion cell measures 42x78x7mm and there's...
Hi everyone. I'm not quite done with my current portable yet, but my head is already buzzing with new ideas for my next. I'm hoping with my next build I'll be able to cut back on the size for a much slimmer form factor. The question: are there good thinner alternatives to the 18650 cells?
Off...
ey bois
so, I'm making a battery pack with 18650s and I'm pretty sure I hooked 'em up right, as my mini chinese LED display rates the batteries at 8.06V (confirmed working from my old pack).
But for whatever reason, my batteries won't charge. After reconnecting the the b- to b-, and the b+ to...
Okay so I am building a portable Raspberry Pi console, and my goal is to make it as close to the Nintendo Switch in form factor and function as possible. I've been thinking about how I want to go about this and I have come to a few conclusions:
I'm going to use a 7" screen that runs on 12 volts...
Hey guys! I've decided to make this a project for myself. With my determination and local connections, I have faith that I will eventually fix this portable.
As known from my last thread, the N64 engine does not like to activate with the rest of the machine majority of the time.
I opened it up...
