Re: Installing Rechargable Batteries in a Gameboy Pocket? (8 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
the sad situation with the mgb is that its REALLY power struggling a lot of the internals run off five volts and rechargeable batteries like eneloop already only give 1.2 instead of 1.5 v so it won't run for an example an everdrive or other high power consumption cartridges, and especially not if you backlight it. but lithium ion batteries mostly run 3.7 (although not in a stable manner) which would in theory give you enough power to run both a backlit screen AND high power consumption cartridges! now i should clarify that i'm also new to this and i have not tried it myself (so please don't blame me if it does not work or ruins you gameboy) BUT i have seen it done before and it seemed to work as intended, also if anyone knows if the pocket have a switch regulator built in that would be great info!
