If you want to get signal, yes.Thanks for the reply! Do I need to keep them in tact when I relocate the wifi module?

Ok, thanks a bunch!If you want to get signal, yes.
If that's a 5v rechargeable portable phone battery pack, you can use it as long as it can supply enough current. I believe for wiis the average is about one cell = one hour of battery life with a small screen. I'm using one of those for my wiip and so far it's working great. Mine supplies 2.4 A and my wii with everything except the screen and fan is drawing like 1.8ish amps. So it will be a close call, but I'm hoping it'll work.I'll have to revisit this particular Wii some other day when I feel confident enough to solder to the legs and get flux. For now, however, I went ahead and ordered and received two Wiis for under $20 and loaded one with Portabilize Memes. The seller claimed they were untested but there were no problems!
I got lucky this time and scored a 4-layer board so I'll be able to do more reallocations!

I'm not gonna update my last post on my haves and have nots because the only new things I have now are two more Wiis...
And this:

I don't know if I should be asking questions on here but... Are these usable? I have one more laying around some where and it has a lot cool features. I hadn't even thought about using it but once I opened it up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). If I can use it what kind of battery life would I be looking at?
One more random question: what are these?

Ok, that's it for now! I'll probably go ahead and test my screen later tonight!

The maximum it can output? Look at your battery on Amazon . I suppose you could cut up a micro usb charger instead and measure it while charging your phone, but it's easier just to look it up. Also, you might consider getting a new one since there's no way of telling what the quality / capacity of those cells really is, plus batteries only work a certain number of times so if you've had them a while and use them they won't last quite as long.Thanks for the reply!

I've had them for a little under a year and only used them about twice. I'm gonna go ahead and use this in my personal portable for now. The pcb attached includes overcharge protection right?The maximum it can output? Look at your battery on Amazon .

It should have both overcharge and overdischarge protection. Just make sure that they can output enough current for your wiiI've had them for a little under a year and only used them about twice.

Ok, thanks a whole lot! Why don't people go this route more often?It should have both overcharge and overdischarge protection. Just make sure that they can output enough current for your wii

Out of curiosity, what charging bank are you using for your portable?

I may just buy something similar to that but with 4 batteries to power my 9v-36v screen. The current for what I have is 1A. Lol! This way seems much more affordable and efficient. I think someone should add some portable chargers to the BOM...
Phone batteries output 5v so you'll have to figure out how to power your screen off them if it really only accepts 9v and upI may just buy something similar to that but with 4 batteries to power my 9v-36v screen.

Yeah after looking around I figured. Lol! I was editing my last post just when you replied. I'll get another screen.Phone batteries output 5v so you'll have to figure out how to power your screen off them if it really only accepts 9v and up
You should find out if it can run on 5v before getting a new one. If it's a backup car monitor, there's a good shot that it can run off 5vYeah after looking around I figured. Lol! I was editing my last post just when you replied. I'll get another screen.
Ok, I'll try it. Thanks for all your help today!You should find out if it can run on 5v before getting a new one. If it's a backup car monitor, there's a good shot that it can run off 5v
Cool! I'll look into that when I have the time!I'd recommend modeling your own case on CAD and paying someone to print it out for you. It's pretty time consuming, but worth the effort. This way, you get the case you want specifically designed to fit everything you want, and the end product will turn out really nice. I worked with @Chaos to get my case printed, so if you need help getting access to a printer, I recommend going through him.
