I read your post wrong! (Wishful thinking)

I predict 45* minutes on LT with battery pack.


* Random number.
Random number has been passed. Currently at 50min

The LT has a great screen!

Which PC Engine needs 9V DC to operate? About all of them.

Which building toy operates with 9V DC equipment? LEGO.

The Rechargable Battery Box released for the new Power Functions train line is almost perfect for our purpose. As it's designed to output 9V at extreme conditions and is save to operate.

Also the chargers tip fits and powers the LT perfectly. But for this operation a second such tip is needed to modify a Power Functions extension cable to get the battery connected to the LT.

I did this with a little tape and it actually works!

+ No modification necessary on expensive PC Engine equipment
+ Easy to install
+ Of the shelf parts
+ charger doubles as power supply for local mains voltage
+ LEGOs integrated safety measures greatly reduces risks associated with handling LiPo batteries
+ a full charge takes about 2.5h (80% in 2h)
+ voltage characteristics are nearly constant during operation (source)
- only about 1200mAh (Didn't do any battery measurements yet.)
- Battery shuts off after 2-3h do to safety concerns (can be circumvented with having the charger connected to the battery)
- Expensive (Battery about USD 50.- - 100.-)

No I can OBEY on trains without power outlets!
Also great for use as an UPS.
