Hey, absolute beginner here! I want to build a PS2 portable (from a SCPH-75004), but I have some concerns. I'm looking to slowly work my way into portablizing the console, starting with making it independent from wall power.
Now what I need to know is, how would I exactly do this? I know I'd need batteries connected in series amounting to ~8.5V, but could I just use any batteries to accomplish this? The "Portables and Batteries" guide recommends 18650 Li-Ion cells, but they are apparently only available with 3.7V. 2 of them wouldn't be enough (I think?), but 3 would exceed the amount needed. Could I use 3 when I simply connect them to a CMB or BMS? Would I need anything else to regulate the voltage down from 11.1V to 8.5V?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
