While the mods I've been looking up like this one are super cheap, there is also the investment into tools. Not that I'm complaining because, this might be a fun hobby to get into that could lead into a career path depending on how much I enjoy this. I went into computer repair right after High School but, I wasn't ready for college. I was a terrible student and didn't want to learn, I just wanted to live a life my way. I've always liked this kind of stuff. Now I want to ask, is there a resource I can do to do fun projects once I get all these tools? I just feel like as a guy just starting out, there's got to be other uses for all these tools.

What about rechargeable batteries, it only trades being set up free for having to restart the console to swap out batteries. And it's cheaper. Some would argue this is better, because you don't actually have to recharge the console you can just carry around extra batteries.

Could this same kit work for the gbp? This is amazing.

What voltage was the 14500 battery? And could you use two 1.5V LiPo batteries to allow for a higher capacity while still keeping it able to charge? I would assume yes as long as the batteries allow for 5V charging right? Mostly i'm curious about the voltage more than anything on the 14500 though

@@MachoNachoProductions I haven't done the mod yet, but it's something I'm concerned about. I'm also considering Eneloop NiMH, but it looks like the mod is designed for a LiPo pack. Do you think Eneloop would work safely?
