Had an interesting idea for DMG batteries!

Post by MadModder » Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:19 am

Right, i am working on modding a DMG-01 (not going to be a zero, just upgraded), I had i slight problem that no one really had good options to install a Li-Po battery. Unlike the GBA, there is no ready-made option yet (as of 2/19/20 when i am posting this). So, i looked for DIY options. wanted something in the 1500 to 2k mah range and...most of the options i was seeing wouldnt fit a stock battery compartment without serious modding or gutting it entirely. Then I remembered when I replaced a battery in my PS4 controller (love the controller, HATE the battery). Got the old battery, plunked it in...it fit! now this is a little under powered (1000 Mah stock) but it served it's purpose as a mach up (i dont have all the parts yet for the mod). At least i had a place to start. A little amazon clicking and some conversion of mm to imperial (thank you Alexa). I found a 2000 Mah battery that should be viable!

And before anyone asks,
1. Yes, I could very easily just buy rechargeable AA's
2. No, i'm not going to.

If you are in North America, why not use Helder's battery?
