[Discontinued] Mini LiPo Charger with Diode (run your DMG, MGB, GBC, GBA from a LiPo battery)

$0.00 USD

With this device you can upgrade your GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Pocket or Gameboy (DMG) to support a LiPo battery in the simplest form possible – the diode drop method (not needed for the DMG). The diode drops about 0.7V – 1V so the red LED should light up on a GBA when the battery is around 3V – 3.3V on a regular cart.

Not recommended for systems that use more than 200mA – e.g any high current consumption flash carts. This is a DIY part, you will need to solder your LiPo battery leads to the board and wires from the board to your device.

Each unit is assembled and tested in house. You will receive the product as pictured.

Description

Features
• Use any LiPo battery you like (recommended to use a LiPo with a battery protection)
• In-line Diode to allow it to work with the GBA/GBC/MGB (uses more current compared to GBA Reg & Charge solution). You can potentially use it without a diode on the GBC/MGB.
• Non-diode version works on a DMG (uses around 20-30mA more than compared to regular AA’s so it will put extra load on the DC-DC converter).
• You can charge and play but it will continue to be powered from the LiPo battery
• Very small form factor – 16mm x 15mm x 4mm
