mightygus Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sort of a weird question, but does anyone happen to know the specs and make/model of the battery in the Hyperkin Retron 5 Controller? The reason I'm asking is 2 fold. A friend donated a controller which had a busted battery (which he conveniently threw out...clever I know) and I'm looking to get a replacement battery. Also, I have a Retron 5 system coming from the US as a Christmas gift and of course Australia post won't let me get the thing shipped without a Material Safety Data Sheet. I would appreciate even just a pic of the thing with some code numbers to start investigating, but if anyone knows more about it than that, the info would be much appreciated.Thanks (ps I know people hate the controller, but I actually quite like the stick) (pps... this pic is my only lead, found on another forum... green is possibly the battery.... credit to Ellie Doodle on Element14 for the pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowCemetery Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 i pulled one of them greenbeans out of a lowgrade ps3 knockoff controller and it didn't have any markings on it at all, so i guess don't feel too bad about it being thrown away. it might've been useful to clip that lil connector off of it though. i'd guess what you're looking for is a 3.7v lipo 1200mah or better, getting one that'll fit in there will be the trick. never had a retron5 controller before so maybe someone that knows better could tell you something more useful.

Austin Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Man, if I still had a Retron5 I'd crack open the controller and check. Unfortunately, I do not. Best of luck on the search though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your specs sound about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightygus Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well, for the completest in me I cracked open the controller that just arrived, and of course the battery is one of those generic lumps like the green one above. Going to leave this here in case anyone else is interested.3.7v 2000mah did the trick in the end. I actually used a Nintendo DS battery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
