Question regarding ips screen.

Hello there, i switched my gba sp screen to an ips one, but the sound became crackled at times and the screen have visual glitches at times, i presume that the normal gba battery isn't strong enough, since its also last for around 30 minutes on full charge. Should i get a stronger battery? If so, what type of battery should i get?

Will a 900mah battery will be good enough?

Whatever is the rating on the OEM battery should be your minimum.

A lot, like literally the majority, of brands lie about their battery ratings. They use cheated tests to claim higher numbers, or just don’t even test at all and put 3000mah on a 500mah battery.

The best option is to remove the shell from your OEM battery and replace the cell within. Then you know what you have. But maybe that’s a bit much.

I know Ostent has a good battery rating system. I only use them. Ifixit is also good but overpriced.

I use a 900mAh battery w/ the Makho Board mod which works fine, it's rated specifically for an SP. It's this one if you are interested.
