@@SupahNin10dohp I've seen this, but my concern was mounting it properly in a OEM case. I like McWills as it gets soldered right into the board, and requires minimal cutting of the plastic.
Love your content you're going to be huge on TH-cam. 1 question if you happen to see this comment, can you still use aa batteries? Thanks man keep it up
Thanks M0rd0ck! So happy you like the videos! Unfortunately, after doing this mod you cannot use AA batteries. Primarily because we removed one of the battery terminals on the PCB. Sorry dude, hope this helps! Best of luck! Cheers!
I have 3 school projects due at 11:59 tonight that should take about 2 weeks each tonight Im only half way done with one of them but then I got this notification
I've done this, it works well. I get a ton of play time with a backlit screen too, i havent run tests but id guess around 12-14 hours before i have to charge
just remove the unused battery terminals in the case. and slap another rechargable battery in there.. when one runs out you can just swap it out for a charged one
I did this mod but my device randomly shuts off , I can’t seem to get more than an hour out of a charge and the indicator light turns on and off intermittently when it’s charging?
I’m having a really hard time finding a 14500 lithium polymer battery all I see is ion is that the same thing? If not where can I find one I didn’t see any even on eBay
I tried to look and didn’t see any undercharge protection listed on that. Gotta be careful to make sure you’re not completely draining those batteries and then recharging them
Great question! Yes, the mod is only for a single battery. It was not designed to utilize 2. I’m hoping his upgraded kit will utilize both. That would be awesome. Thanks for the question! Cheers!
Great questions! Unfortunately, at this time the kit only works with one battery. I am hoping we get an updated kit that can use 2, that would be awesome! Cheers bud!
As someone with no electrical training or soldering experience, your videos are excellent. I’ve completed two mods based on your videos. Clear and precise. Great videos, great channel.
this is cool, even for a beginner like myself the install seems pretty simple and the case mod is easy enough. i dont mind usb mini since my psp uses the same format. my only gripe would be the lack of indicator light, how sick would that look in a clear case.
Great video! poor product. Mini USB...why? micro USB connectors are cheap. 2 wires...why? Use a dummy cell and solder one wire from the unit to the battery contact, then there are no wires dangling from the shell begging to pull off a solder pad. Or use two cells in parallel as other comments have described for better capacity. This whole kit just seems poorly thought out. Plain old rechargeable batteries seem like a better option. Finally, I guess I'll say it. If there really is demand for this, I'll wait for BennVenn to come up with something better. Keep up the good work. This was a very good looking and informative video!
All of my micro USB ports and cables don't have much grip to hold them in place anymore; but my couple USB mini ports and cables still have good traction. A USB C that you could plug in upside down would be better though.
Super neat mod! If you modified the terminals accordingly, do you think you could fill both battery bays and run two 14500s *in parallel* for more runtime?
Why not rig it up in series to run two batteries, as the GBC was always intended? Running only one battery seems to me to only be giving you half of the overall run time otherwise possible.
Your modification is really great. Thanks for your demonstration. But there is still a question that the voltage of 14500 lithium battery should be 3.6V. Will it damage the machine as the voltage is over charged? I have concern about that. Also is regular AA battery allowed to use after the modification? Thanks for your reply in advance.
Alright. Cool video, but I gotta ask if anyone has done experiments using two batteries to increase the battery capacity, adding an LED indicator or adding quick-charging or auto-shutoff capabilities to the mod?
Seems like it would only take slightly more work to make it so the battery compartment would be wired to take two rechargeable batteries in parallel and as far as battery indicator you could find and incorporate one but finding one small enough would be a challenge, I do like this mod it reminds me of some of the kits for converting a original GBA to be rechargeable
I agree, it totally does! I think it is possible to add another battery in parallel, I'm just not knowledgeable enough to figure out how. Hopefully an updated kit will include that feature! Adding an LED is also very doable and I am planning to make a video on it! Cheers buddy!
This was a really solid how-to on this little battery kit. The only thing I would have done differently is that I would have traced out the contour of the USB jack onto some painters' tape and placed it on the outside of the case as a template for the filing. Might have made it easier. You still did a great job going through the process of doing this mod, though!
Hey thanks for the detailed review and mod process. Not having an indicator is a big con but can't really complain with that price tag! I specially liked the quality of production, good job. Just subbed :)
I don't know why but to me it still always feels nice changing out the batteries you just destroyed with some heavy game play but regardless this was still a great and very well done video
Love your content becoming one of my favorites how to modding type Channel even though I don't ever intend on modding a Game Boy Color or Game Boy of any type, software mod though on the other hand
This is what I hate about this. Affordable, if you live in the US. In the UK it's gonna cost at least 3x more because of shipping fees, that's not even factoring in customs fees which I've had cost me £15 for a metal cartridge.
Next project suggestion: Rechargeable Battery mod. Install a Lithium Ion battery pack to make it like the GBA SP. Capable of being rechargeable without AA batteries
Curious with a TP4056 Board Could I charge Li-Ion AA batteries safely? Got some AA steady 1.5V batteries I want to be able to continue using as they last awhile. But also charge and play at the same time.
Is the Mcwill LCD kit required for the recharge mod to work? I'm going to be getting a Laminated Q5 screen and want to get a rechargeable battery for it. Thanks!
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.
Thanks Jacob! Unfortunately, this mod is not compatible with the Pocket. Both the dimensions and the battery requirement I believe does not permit this kit to be installed. Would be great if McWill makes one! Cheers
Do they offer type-C or micro-B? No one uses mini-B cables anymore. And no LED?!? Great video, but as you said the cons outweigh the pro. Easier just to get some IKEA LADDA 2550 mAh batteries.
Unfortunately at the moment Mini is the only interface available. I actually did a video on adding an LED indicator to let you know when it’s done charging, I think you may like it, check it out: th-cam.com/video/J3_Fp6V8M2c/w-d-xo.html. I’m hoping McWill does and update to the design to account for these issues. Cheers buddy!
@@MachoNachoProductions first of all thanks for the response and awesome videos! So I currently don't have a 14500 battery(honestly thought an ikea battery would work lol) but I have it connected with a usb using an apple charger and everytime I turn it on it gives off an unplayable amount of buzzing. I tried a different speaker, different usb cable, different motherboard, tried headphones, regarldess where the volume wheel is I'm still able to hear all of the buzzing, removing the speaker all together gives off an ok amount of buzzing, even tried doing a work around by adding a sound amp and the buzzing was still there. Hopefully I can get it to work because now I have a perfect usb mini opening on my authentic pokemon shell lmao
That’s interesting. I haven’t noticed a loud buzzing, but my ears aren’t the best either. It could be just the nature of the mod and not having the cleanest power. I hope McWill updates the kit. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Cheers buddy!
You did a great job! Congrats! A small typ, when you screw the cover, if you start screwing from the middle and then the screws at the top and the end, you will get a perfect fitment. Also much better if you do it on X. Lot of people wont notice it, but nobody will notice someone opened the cover 🤷🏻♂️
Great question! Unfortunately, by removing the battery terminals and how the kit was designed, installing batteries in parallel was not possible. Hopefully an updated version of the kit will address this in the future! Thanks for the comment! Cheers!
Now I'm wondering if there's a way to get the second battery terminal working with this mod for double the capacity. If that would be possible, this might be a real winner.
I installed the screen ok but for whatever reason it can take 2 power cycles for the gameboy to power up. I have the same problem with my sega GG McWill mod. Is this normal?
I don't have experience with the Game Gear, but its a well documented issue with the McWill Game Boy Color kits. You need to cycle them a couple times to get them to turn on. I hope he resolved this with future kits. Cheers!
If you were to clip the battery terminal so it doesn't solder to the board and bridged the traditional positive and negative, could you use two of thos batteries in parallel increasing amps instead of volts for longer play time?
Since the battery contacts are still there I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m hoping McWill will update the mod to use 2 batteries instead of one. Fingers crossed! Cheers Ryan!
First! Sorry missed the last two videos. Busy bringing new baby into the world! Cool MOD.. Would be nice to have the charger indicater light hooked to the power on led! Keep the MODs coming!

this dude is hands down the most kind and down to earth person ever. watch his streams, really nice guy and interactive with fans. glad i subbed.
I was considering getting this, but when I saw it was USB mini-B, I opt'd not to. I figure I'll wait til there is a USB type C option available.
Agreed! It would be so cool if McWill made a USB-C version with a LED indicator. Fingers crossed! Cheers!
BoxyPixel made one, I used it in my build and it works great. Even has a red battery indicator.
@@SupahNin10dohp I've seen this, but my concern was mounting it properly in a OEM case. I like McWills as it gets soldered right into the board, and requires minimal cutting of the plastic.
I was about to write the same, it's 2020 and we should see usb4 soon so hopefully, there will be such mod.
yep pretty useless mod as is.

honestly my fav mod channel on yt
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying the channel!
You can put the another battery in parallel to multiply the playing time
I found it a bit weird that McWill had this oversight.
Agree, I’m hoping for an updated design, that would be awesome! Cheers!
cool mod but wouldnt it be easier just getting 2 2450mah ikea rechargeable batteries
Totally agree..
I've done this, it works well. I get a ton of play time with a backlit screen too, i havent run tests but id guess around 12-14 hours before i have to charge
Did he just choose to use 1 rechargeable battery or can I also use 2 rechargeable batteries with this exact mod shown in his video?
The mod only allows for 1. It’s strange, but that’s what the instructions call for.
@@MachoNachoProductions Thanks for the reply. I think I will still give it a try. Love your work and how you structure your videos.
Very cool mod! Quality of your videos are fantastic! Keep it up. New sub here.
Thank you Scruffy! So glad to hear you enjoyed the mod and the videos! Cheers!
just remove the unused battery terminals in the case. and slap another rechargable battery in there.. when one runs out you can just swap it out for a charged one
put two batteries in parallel and double the amp/hrs
If there was a charge light indicator and it was usb c then yes!
I did this mod but my device randomly shuts off , I can’t seem to get more than an hour out of a charge and the indicator light turns on and off intermittently when it’s charging?
I’m having a really hard time finding a 14500 lithium polymer battery all I see is ion is that the same thing? If not where can I find one I didn’t see any even on eBay
I think I will look for rechargeable battery pack :)
Hopefully we one, one day. That would be awesome! Cheers!
i dont know how safe it is to charge lipo batterys without protection circuits and at 5v
I tried to look and didn’t see any undercharge protection listed on that. Gotta be careful to make sure you’re not completely draining those batteries and then recharging them
That’s a great point! I’ll definitely need to look into that. Thank you! Cheers!
And over charging lipos do not over charge well at all .... fire hazard with no bms
Is there a reason why you don't have x2 batteries? Only does the mod only 1 battery?
Great question! Yes, the mod is only for a single battery. It was not designed to utilize 2. I’m hoping his upgraded kit will utilize both. That would be awesome. Thanks for the question! Cheers!
That works be cool if they had a USB C one rather than macro b
Agree Zach! Hopefully his next release will have one! Cheers!
8:28, this shows the wire touching the other solder point on the PCB, this is a big no-no.
Those 2 points are actually the same. You can solder to either one. I hope this helps. Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions Thanks for the clarification.
U can charge a gba sp with a phone charger usb too right?
Yep, I use my Apple iPhone charger. Cheers Jamarius!
Can you do the same things with ps vita wifi?
Not sure if I can. I haven't modded a Vita before. Could be a fun challenge! Cheers!
So is there a way to make it work with two of them, one battery on top and one on bottom?
Great questions! Unfortunately, at this time the kit only works with one battery. I am hoping we get an updated kit that can use 2, that would be awesome! Cheers bud!
You could but you would need to make sure the battery’s are in parallel not series like the aa battery’s are ment to
oh my goodness when i sautered stuff trying to fix it i didn't use flux or even tin the tips
Oh no! Flux is a must, haha! Really helps the solder flow much better. Cheers!
This would cost at least $30 if it was made by boxy pixel
Can’t you just use rechargeable battery’s
You can’t if you’re do this mod unfortunately. Cheers!
"modern" =/= mini USB b lol :( oh well
Has anyone else noticed he repeats himself alot. Like this would be a much shorter video if the dialogue was more efficient.
As someone with no electrical training or soldering experience, your videos are excellent. I’ve completed two mods based on your videos. Clear and precise. Great videos, great channel.
Love the mod and the price point. But with no indicator for when its charged or charging, deal breaker.
It is strange that an indicator wasn’t included. I’m looking into adding one for a potential follow up video.
That’s the retro experience my guy.
@@MachoNachoProductions please do it!
Keep up the good work! Your stuff has got a very high production value.

Thank you Chris! Glad you enjoyed the video! Agree the kit has some short comings. Cheers!
I love this other than the use of USB mini - why change to a standard that no-one currently uses?
I know, would have been great if it was USB type C! Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions Wouldn't it be possible to get a separate port and solder that on the board so I can have USB C?
I think a mini USB version would be also cool for people who don't still have USB-C devices and don't want to buy a USB-C cable for just the gameboy.
@@polytelus I think you mean micro USB. In which case I agree.
All of my micro USB ports and cables don't have much grip to hold them in place anymore; but my couple USB mini ports and cables still have good traction. A USB C that you could plug in upside down would be better though.
modern charging? ths is a usb standard from 15 years ago,. usb mini? i dont even have devices that use USB Micro anymore..
This is a mod for a console at least 23 years old that run on AA batteries. I think any rechargeable battery is a modern improvement
Super neat mod! If you modified the terminals accordingly, do you think you could fill both battery bays and run two 14500s *in parallel* for more runtime?
Ouch, NO cuts, I would of kept the barrel jack and rewired it
Your intro is so dope, I subscribed in seconds just because of it lol. Great Content too !
Thank you Leo! So happy you are enjoying the videos and the intro! And thank you for the sub! Cheers!
Why not rig it up in series to run two batteries, as the GBC was always intended? Running only one battery seems to me to only be giving you half of the overall run time otherwise possible.
Hoping for a usb c version
Well, I'd have preferred USB type C, but Mini B is still better than Micro B, so no real complaints.
I would have preferred usb type c myself.

What do you mean "seemingly small"?
Ooooooohhhhhh noooooooooo... Noooooooooooooooo... NOOOOOOOO...
It's Mini USB!
Nooooooooooo...
Everyone's favourite connector.
Haha, I'm hoping he does an update with USB C. That would be nice!
Love your work on here! The battery is a a Li "ion" not polymer if anyone did have trouble finding it a bit.
Thank you! Yep I misspoke, thank you for letting me know. Cheers!!
This was a really solid how-to on this little battery kit.

Some would argue this is better, because you don't actually have to recharge the console you can just carry around extra batteries.
om my gosh..pleeeaaase dont pry so hard when you remove components. sooner or later you will rip out some solderpads ;-)
Um why is that a mini usb connector? In the thumbnail I thought that was a USBC where you didn't cut the plastic very well.
Couldn't you make it rechargeable by keeping the original AC plug? And just solder some cables on the motherboard?
Amazing video as always!
Do you know if this mod is compatible with the Game Boy Pocket?
Thanks Jacob! Unfortunately, this mod is not compatible with the Pocket. Both the dimensions and the battery requirement I believe does not permit this kit to be installed. Would be great if McWill makes one! Cheers

2020, Why dont use 1.5V Li-ion recheargable batteries ?
Hey Tito, may you can do an video showing how to change the game boy power light?
was wondering wouls the mcwill kit work with the battery from boxy?
A wireless rechargeable mod would be great. That's the future, and it'll preserve the consoles cases.
That would be a very cool mod for sure! Cheers!
Could this same kit work for the gbp? This is amazing.
This mod seems great and all, but mini USB is god-awful
Hello Tito
Do you know if this kit work with a gameboy pocket?
i'd de-solder the mini and put in a micro usb, and put in more battery .
Have you seen a similar mod for the Gameboy Pocket?
Is it possible to add bluetooth support in the empty battery space.
Why can't you just use 2 batteries like normal?
Now I'm wondering if there's a way to get the second battery terminal working with this mod for double the capacity. If that would be possible, this might be a real winner.
Me too! I’m hoping McWill fixes this.
I was wondering the same question. It is only logical, to go that route.
Would it be easier to solder the wires before the board is put in place?
No clean juice battery for GBC? :(
you have become my favorite TH-camr man awesome videos
Old USB port and 2 hrs only??? Outdated.
I installed the screen ok but for whatever reason it can take 2 power cycles for the gameboy to power up. I have the same problem with my sega GG McWill mod. Is this normal?
I don't have experience with the Game Gear, but its a well documented issue with the McWill Game Boy Color kits. You need to cycle them a couple times to get them to turn on. I hope he resolved this with future kits. Cheers!
why not 2 batteries in parallel? twice the capacity.
If you were to clip the battery terminal so it doesn't solder to the board and bridged the traditional positive and negative, could you use two of thos batteries in parallel increasing amps instead of volts for longer play time?
14:47 Who is Khan, and what does he have to do with this?!
Mini USB in 2020 should be a crime
Does this have over charge protection?
That circuit board holder is over $20
What was the box that had the wires in it that you used?
Can I put a regular battery in the other slot?? Because my OCD is freaking out. 🙏🏻
Since the battery contacts are still there I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m hoping McWill will update the mod to use 2 batteries instead of one. Fingers crossed! Cheers Ryan!
Would it be possible, I imagine with a different wiring setup, to use both battery slots and increase the amount of play time?
First! Sorry missed the last two videos. Busy bringing new baby into the world! Cool MOD.. Would be nice to have the charger indicater light hooked to the power on led! Keep the MODs coming!
Hey dude no problem, and congrats! It would be nice, I may see if I can add and LED to the kit. Will do, and again congrats!
Does this work on gameboy as well?
