Batterys

[skarmachild]

Hey right, purchased a GP2X.

Keep it short and simple: what kind of batteries would I need to make the GP2X last for a reasonable amount of time since I heard that battery life with normal batteries is insultingly short.

Keep in mind im not tech savvy, so you'd have to give links or tell me what I need in a very basic manner (e.g You would need these batteries: *link* and this charger *link* and thats you).

Cheers.

i think uniross rechargeable batterys are good and would suit the GP2X

I'd prefer advice from someone who owns a GP2X.

LOL I seriously laughed out loud when I saw who responded! HAHAHHAHAHAHAH.
Anyway, I use Energizer 2500 mAh. It was 4 and a charger together. I would recommend 2500 or 2700 being awesome, but a 2100 would be sufficient if you could only find them. Since you live in the UK, I think some brand called Ansmann is good there.

We have Energizer too. But thanks alot for the advice I'll look it up because I don't want a 15 minute battery life. How long does battery life last with those batterys by the way? Thanks

PS: I did the same as you when I saw who responded.

The energizers last around 5-6 hours which is enough for a day at school, especially if you bring another pair along. It doesn't really matter because I usually dont spend more than 10-12 hours away from an outlet where I would be playing my gp2x. It depends on if you over/underclock while watching movies or playing games.

lol this whole battery thing has been discussed in like 5 threads already and normally I would tell you to use the search button but since you are dissing that guntrix kid I love you in a very non-sexual manner... I have energizers 2500. works for me and gets me something like 4 hours of playtime.
