[OUT OF STOCK] Custom GBZ lipo battery pack

[Samy]

One sure and perhaps two depending on price, please.

Can we stuff 2 of these in if remove the battery tray?

I don't think you should remove battery tray since you have 2 screws there that hold case together, but even with it removed I don't see it doable, because you would either have 24mm thick battery or 110mm long battery. In both cases it seems to big.

I'd be in for two, possibly three depending on price.

Hey Dex, put me down for 4, been following since you first posted these on Kite's thread, fingers crossed that the capacity is as indicated

[abrugsch]

Whopping (stated) 5700mAh in pack of 58x54.5x12mm (protection circuit board included) with standard JST PH 2.0 connector.

Given the size of other ~2500mAh batteries, it's not such a leap that the stated capacity wouldn't be near to actual... the problems come when they state 10000mAh on a battery no bigger than a 2700 that it's replacing

I think having a custom fit battery is a tremendous idea. probably such a good idea that the entire gameboy community as a whole should get in on this as a lipo to charger and 5V mod would be minimal effort for most of the regular gameboy modders...

Would love to buy one or maybe 2!

I would like one please, when do you think these will be coming in if you were to put in an order? I understand it that it would probably be a rough estimate but thought I would ask. I only need a battery and the kite AIO board once I get it at the end of Feb hopefully.

With samples they had 8 day window for production and 8-10 days for delivery. If I add to that 2 weeks for preorders, few days for getting numbers together and aranging order and couple of days for packaging and shipping we get to 5-6 weeks (optimistically).

I am familiar with chinese "capacity marking optimism" and that is why I want to do my tests to see how realistic they are.

I'we been thinking this way also...to have a bit smaller battery with integrated micro usb charger and dc-dc switcher to output 5V or 6V that would fit into standard battery compartment (minus metal spring contacts) is a holy grail I think It is just a matter of finding this circuit small enough or designing my own. Just imagine: no mod lipo conversion

2 please

If the price is bellow 20$ by unit, I'm in for two. The only thing against your prototype that I can say is that the lead are a bit thin for that amperage (even if we're only using 1A). A real capacity measure would be nice.

For reference, the best I got so far is a so-called 4000mAh slightly too long battery (including protection circuit) for 15$ including shipping :
