Adding a 2,600 mAh battery

#1

I’m really not willing to start a thread. But I feel like I need to.

I just gave my Arduboy another upgrade. A SERIOUS upgrade of a 2,600mah Li-ion (soft pack) battery salvaged from a useless credit card power bank.

Ignore the fragile battery tabs under the smash-proof PVC cover I made in 2 minutes …

It has ran for 1 (24 hours) already, and the battery dropped from … 4542 unit to 4187. At (or below)3700 it will be considered at 0%.

1 day.

And it still have some 90% juice left …
What am I going to do with this 2,600 mah stuff? This is absolutely overkill. (at least 15x from the 175-ish original battery)
Uh … do we have a Tamagotchi here? Or do I have to write my own?
I don’t really have time to write my own, although I kind of want to.
Too many projects. I still have a driving stuff, the game pack, a side-scrolling space shooter and others.
AND the Asteroid update.

What games are you all playing?

lolz. and I thought my 1800mAh was already overkill. I just don’t seem to be able to fully discharge it. :joy:

okay so somehow the forum worked from my iPad! (applause)
uh … maybe thank to Bateske.

TWO THREE days now …

4.057V way to go …

I really need to get my utility thing to work …
Maybe I should consider publishing it first?

in case say you get buried under some rubble in earthquake (such as folks in California as of today, hope that they are not hit hard), you have this sound-emitting stuff that will work for more than 96 hours. Also is flashlight.
