Clockwork's Gameshell battery mod for 18650 batteries.
As I played again and again with my Gameshell, I grew tired of having to recharge it often through a long gaming session, so I decided to update the battery to one with a larger capacity.
I chose 18650 batteries, for they are cheap, easy to find, and much reusable. I also enjoy the form-factor, making it looks like old-school Gameboy batteries.
- A 3D printer (battery holder, back plate)
- A hot-glue gun (or plastic-specific glue)
- Connectors (or soldering iron)
I used the "Flexing battery holder" from enif on Thingiverse (link here)
In this repo, you'll find the 3D .STL file to print your own custom back plate.
Please note that it is still a draft. I plan to close the back plate soon.
My Gameshell's motherboard died a few months ago... I will not push this project further.
