How To: Replace the Battery in a Game Gear Battery Pack

Post by pcwzrd13 »

Here's a tutorial video I just made on how to replace the battery in a Sega Game Gear rechargeable battery pack. In theory you should be able to get 6+ hours of battery life after doing this. I haven't done a test on the battery life yet but I will update this post after I do. Anyway, if you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them the best I can.

The battery (7.2V 3800mAh Ni-Mh):

Update: Unfortunately the battery didn't last nearly as long as I had hoped. It only lasted 1.75 hours. This is likely because it was a cheap generic battery that I used. I would recommend going with a name brand instead.

Battery dimensions: 130mm (Length) x 45mm (Width) x 24mm (Height)
