Get 9,5 Hours Of Gp2x Action @ 200mhz On Aa Batteries!

[KZouLoN]

I ran the battest program for 9,5 hours on my gp2x. @ 240MHz, it ran for more than 8 hours.
I added 2 pairs of AAs in parallel with the other pair. So with 6 2500mAh rechargeable AAs, I almost reached 10 hours
I had to do this, since I don't have a 3,3 V adaptor.

Is it dangerous to plug a 3V adaptor into the battery spot? Does a 3V adaptor works into the 3,3V mini plug?
Please share your batttery / adaptor stories.

I'm always running my 2X off of 3V at 800mla (That's milliamps, 1000milliamps=1 amp). The GP2X is supposed to be running at 3.3V at 1A, and I've got it going fine at 3V at 800mlA.

Do you plug your 3V in the batteries place or the adaptor plug?

Yes. But you need stable current (that any decent universal adaptor give), 1A, and be careful with polarity (minus in the center).

Where did you get mlA from? Milliamps is always 'ma'. mlA is just confusing as no one knows what it means.

3v @ 1A(Regulated) works fine. I have a switchmode so I will have to not let anyone near it so they don't change it until I get single mode.This weekend most likely

I couldn't find my power convertor brick to read the proper spelling off it. Sorry for any confusion.

That's not fair. I can't find my voltage regulators to hook up my lead-acid battery.

Any suggestions as to how to extend the battery power? Maybe a powersave uttil?

Some serious underclocking with GP2X Energy Saver 1.0.

Nice. It would be easy enough to hack half of the back of the GP2x casing (keeping the securing screws as they are so you can secure the case down - just enough space for this) to put in a 6 cell battery compartment; that would keep the height down to a sensible level.

i was thinking of getting one of these and doing some surgery on it to fit the gp2x..

change the internel batteries to 2500mah etc...
