>battery packs are 30-50 dollars online
I got one of these with sega's own rechargeable from the 90s, instead of the actual battery adapter for fitting in AAs. Is there a way to make recourse that isn't buying the stupid pack at nonsense prices?
get a few of these i guess

no no, the problem is the actual box to put AAs in is a separate piece of plastic, a case that attaches to the back. The AA battery pack if you will.
The one I bought has sega's original rechargeable battery pack instead, it's the same deal but it was a proprietary rechargeable. Naturally being both 90s battery technology and being old, the cell on it is shit.
I wanted to use it with my modern rechargeable AAs but that requires the AA battery pack, and that goes for 30-50 online. So I guess I'm just boned unless there's some other thing to do? My best guess is to buy a hobby battery and put it inside the original power supply, but I don't know much about into electronic.

Holy shit. Where the fuck have these been all of my life?

I sort of have my doubts about them IMO, figure they would take too long to charge and you would need a lot of ports to really take advantage of them. I have one of these and it works well.
USB could be helpful in some certain scenarios though.

they work well. Don't buy cheap shit ones. Look for japanese brands, they're a bit expensive but well, the utility gained from it is worth it.

Nice, how much do they cost? I just picked up a GBC for the first time in years and this would be a perfect compliment.

$12 bucks per pair or so? NH, HobbyAce are both good brands.

you can bu generic AA battery packs for any amount of batteries from ali express.
You can also just make one with tape and wire.

Meant to say I have one of these along with a bunch of eneloops.

it's the proprietary contact connections that get me, nomad doesn't use a standard connection point and the battery pack doesn't have any obvious screw holes or anything either.
