Well, obviously you've at least heard about it .. how's about a link?

In fact it's a mod of the PSP Thunder Power Pack, with an addon piece that makes it fit in the GP2X battery slot.

It's been designed by a GP32Spain user, named JoJo_ReloadeD, and distributed by Anarchy (the owner of gp32spain.com and hardcore-gamer.net).

So I suppose it's hard to distribute it outside Spain, as it's not an official GP2X product.

I don't know if its compatible with gp2x. See if you can find out if it works with gp2x

The words "giant, huge, clunky, expensive, and hideous" come to mind. I'd rather just carry extra batteries. I've seen this before when it first was talked about. If anything I want my handhelds to be smaller, not larger.

Yep, but I added a single AA to the back of mine (inline with the 2 already in the tray, the battery clip on one end of the tray pops out so the third can be wired inline).

That enabled me to achieve 6:15 on the battery test, so it is cheaper, a single cell holder is only $1 at Radio Shack.

Downside is that you need to put in battery clips in (no need to open the case, no voiding warranty), and arrange your batteries into sets of 3 (either to charge in sets of 6 or get a charger that charges single cells).

Thanks for the info - though to be honest I agree with reaper79. Why would you want something so clunky which also takes so long to charge. My UNiROSS 2500mAh charge in 90 minutes and give me between 3 and 5 hours playtime, and it's no hassle having a spare pair as they fit neatly in the case.

I love this line: - 'It's and ideal stand to watch films on your GP2X, as the console sits over the battery.' What a great way to turn a negative aspect (its huge size) into a positive. :lol:

I don't understand? My 2x2700mah AA's = 5400Mah? Even if it supplies 3v not 3.7 (can it step the voltage down?) that pack is still under 4500Mah? I guess something to do with the type of battery, i'm guessing its a lithium pack?

But yes, I would rather just have an extra 2 AA's in my pocket, and I can charge all four in 90mins.

mrsnature, your batteries are in series, which means the "pack" is still 2700mAh, but with double the voltage (in this case 2*1.2v).

As you say, I just carry extra batteries with me.
That or use my "home made" stand (pics to be posted soon )

 

[CoMiKe]

If you ask me, I wouldn't buy one myself, as the only advantage is the battery life (11 hours) if you see a long film.

But with my Duracell 2650 mAh batteries I get 5:25 of battery life, enough for any film that I'm going to watch.

Ahh I'm so dumb, in my defense, I even corrected someone else a while back who made a similar calculation! :

I always have a spare set of batteries with me. So with 4x 2700mAh batteries I also have around 11hrs of playtime with me. And everything fits into my gp2x protective case.

 

[berighteous]

neat, except for the 24 hour charge time. Holy crap!
