      I am just curious if i was to get a such as something like this or something like this one how many hours do you think the Pi could run on because my friend wants me to build him a 2 player arcade stick with the Pi built in and was thinking of having the battery inside with a port on the side for charging so all he would need to do really is just plug it into any TV and just start playing you know.

        I'm not sure how many hours exactly but I imagine you would get at least five if not more.

          Depending on quite some variables, but based on: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/4vwc00/power_consumption_testing_for_a_pi_3_handheld/ at least 20 hours.

            @barrymossel Thanks and when i get the whole thing done how much do you think i should charge him because he did say he would pay me for the parts and services on building it for him.

              @ecks ehm, that depends on you cost. I don't know how much a) time and b) money you will spend on the whole. I would normally would ask cost price or even less, because I like building stuff like this. Especially for friends and family.

                @barrymossel The cost for the wood, Pi, SD card and joysticks will be roughly 200$ and he said he would be willing to pay more then how much it would cost just for the time i would be spending on making it for him.
