How's the battery life?

Post by phuongdv » Mon Jul 30, 2018 3:41 am

Hi guys, I happened to see this device a few days ago and I enjoyed it. I also found that this product received quite a high rating and decided to buy it despite the high price. I am willing to pay for it but I need to know that How's the battery life? Is it possible to get it repaired any time if anything happens to it? What's the full list of supported systems? I look forward to your response. Thank you

Can you provide more information on the product?
Pictures, specifications, maybe even a website if they have one.

Yeah. Depends who you buy from. Some sellers may offer some repair services or warranty. If you are handy most issues are repairable yourself too.

If you are building your own you'll get to know the ins and outside pretty fast.

As for battery. That all depends on the battery. I just tested my most recent build. 3500mah battery. I2s audio, 3.2 spi screen, common ground pcb etc... 4.5 hours. This will vary depending on the parts used and games played etc....

List of systems. Just google retropie and find out. There are a lot of systems supported.
