Hello guys

I'm currentliy "collecting" all the parts I need to build the GB Zero. The only problems i have are the Display (but I guess I'll go with the one from amazon) and the battery (I can't find a shop for the adafruit one in germany that has it currently in stock). I searched on ebay and found this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/1x-Lipo-Akku-LxB ... SwLpdW-o~H but i have no Idea if it will work (and if the plug will fit)
I'm not into elekronic stuff that much... But I hope someone here can help me with my question :)

Wait. It's 75mm tall which will run into the cartridge port connector so it's too long, unless you want to get rid of the cartridge/SD holder of the GBZ. Otherwise, you only have about 65mm of clearance from the foot of the case.

Well... shet. I just ordered one. But I probably can return it.
Would this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/381570187289 work?
It says it has a size of about 10*34*50mm.

But I'm not shure how good or bad "china"-Batteries are. Any Idea if this thing is save or will it kill me when I first use it? ;)

That will work but I've seen higher capacity batteries that will also fit. (2000mah worst than most cell phones) Let me dig around on the old board and find it for you.

Wow thanks Popcorn

I wondered why wermy used a battery with such a small capacity, but because I'm a noob at all this stuff I didn't question it

Damn, can't seem to find it. I know that Fleder was talking about it too. I think it was around 3400mah and it would fit in the case.
