Panasonic Eneloop Great for Modded Game Boy and Game Gear

Nothing new here. I'm sure most of us know what these are by now. But just in case you didn't, or you wondered if these worked on high drain devices like the Sega Game Gear. Well. Here you go. The regular and the Pro versions both work great!

Ikea rechargable AA is basically same batteries + another sticker on top, but cheaper. They even made on same factory.

[@MN12BIRD]

I heard the Ikea ones were similar and wondered if they made them for Ikea.

You're a braver man than me fixing up a game gear. I would love to play one but I'd be scared to solder all those replacement caps.

[@MN12BIRD]

I've done 5 and 3 worked but 2 still didn't work one I think I messed up but one had damage and the pads were lifting up also sometimes the screen or backlight is just bad too

[@-DeScruff]

Agreed on the two D and C size adapters... Both my flashlight and lantern take four batteries.

A while back when I got my Rift S, I knew I needed some rechargable a for the controllers.
I got a Energizer battery set with the charger and 4 AA 2300mah batts.
I can use the controllers for like 3 4hr sessions and still have 50% left. I was happy to not overpay for these eneloops

[@MN12BIRD]

I thought the big kit seemed like a good idea but really the C and D adapters are useless for most people (I'll probably never use them) so you're really just getting 2xAAA's extra. I'd probably just get the 4xAA Pro 2,550Mah kit if I had to start over. They're on sale ATM for $31.99 CAD from where I bought mine. They have two Energizer kits a 1,500Mah kit and a 2,000 kit but I don't see a 2,300Mah kit (from where I bought mine) but I'd think Energizer makes good batteries and 2,300Mah would be good if it was less. They're probably all pretty similar now seeing these have been around for awhile.

Good stuff man! Need to check out those batteries

I used *16* Eneloop Pro AAs to power a modified Lepai LP2020TI amplifier (with heatsink on the TPA chip and 35v Panasonic capacitors) - it did 2x 18.5w RMS into 8 ohms at 1% THD at 19.2v :P

[@big0bad0brad]

Eneloop non-pro AA can put out over 40A short circuit current; I tested it into .005 ohms once. Insane.

A backlit IPS screen modded GB/GBC/GBA should not draw more power than an unmodified model, because the backlit screens are newer technology that draws less power than the original screens. I just watched another video where the backlit screen modded GBA lasted 23h running a game in demo mode, while the original screen one lasted 20h. I haven't modified my GBA but I will in the next month or two, I'll definitely measure the current being drawn from the batteries before and after modding it, just to compare if the new screen draws more or less miliamps than the original one.

If your referring to camcorder digital camera yes

[@duhmez]

Oculus rift and my PS4 bluetooth remoter eats MAD BATERIES YP so I had to buy rechargable

[@izehumaheyiba2182]

Those batteries pack ca gillion would make me Richer

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

Also, you don't have to worry about good NiMH batteries leaking if left in battery compartments. I do wonder if I should do so anyways. I am concerned there is a "vampire draw" like the AC adapters that plug into the wall that constantly draw power from the outlet. Do you know whether that is a valid concern?

[@MN12BIRD]

Not on a game boy or game gear but maybe on some devices.

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@MN12BIRD Cool, thanks.

[@izehumaheyiba2182]

Those batteries been out forever like centuries ago

[@steveazusa]

I like the blacks!

[@RWL2012]

I think Panasonic bought Sanyo *entirely* .

[@big0bad0brad]

Correct; at first they bought a controlling interest and later they bought them completely.

[@duhmez]

MIne have 2800 maH bruh!

[@RWL2012]

I never understood why mAh is used past 1Ah. They're 2.8Ah.
