I've just received my kit, and have ordered a GBA shell off ebay.
I'm now onto selecting the right battery for the system.
Option 1
14500 3.7v Lithium Batteries 52.4mm*14.4mm*14.4mm
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0721JYBQL/r...il_2?psc=1
Option 2
1300mAh Lithium Polymer (meant for a TomTom GPS) 62mm*39mm*5mm
http://cpc.farnell.com/enix-energies/gps...dp/BT05897
I like the idea of using option 1 as it'll look how the GBA was built, but I've read on here it could be a tight fit.
although option 2 looks like it could have longer life as at 5mm thick I could get 2 of them in, assuming they aren't too long. But have no idea if it has any charging protection built in (how big a deal is this?)
I'm trying to work with what's freely available locally, rather than ordering from china as I'd like to finish my build this side of Christmas.
Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers
Mike
