The mastermind behind this beastly build is a Reddit modder who took a GBA SP and mounted it on a DeWALT XR FLEXVOLT lithium-ion pack. This isn't just any battery—it's a heavy-duty, 18-volt lithium-ion pack designed for power tools like drills and saws. The original tiny GBA battery? Gone. In its place sits a buck converter that expertly steps down the 18 volts to the ~4 volts the Game Boy needs to function. The result? A rugged, industrial handheld that feels like it could survive a construction site—or a gaming apocalypse.

The GBA modding scene has been going nuts and I love it. BTW Shackles, are you enjoying that Analogue Pocket?

That things been getting a lot of use at my household, but I made the mistake of showing my wife it could play my old Tetris cartridge...

Sounds like my Mom and Tetris Worlds on Xbox

"Is that a DeWALT Game Boy Advance SP in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

I like the yellow Dewalt case around the GB.

I have several small Ryobi batteries; I bought a Ryobi 150watt inverter that also has USB ports.
Need to get a friend to print out a green Ryobi case for an old GB.

A 162WH battery should be able to power the GBA SP for 500+ hours. Nice.

Not since the accident.
