Sega GameGear. That thing had a better screen than any portable gaming device would for another 20+ years, but it would eat 6 AA batteries in less than an hour. There were rechargable battery packs you could get for it but they were heavy as shit and didn’t last noticeably longer, you could play it with the battery pack plugged into the charger but then you’re not actually mobile at all so you might as well play the same games on the Genesis.
The car adapter did kick ass, but I never got to use it because looking at anything other than the road while in a moving vehicle would instantly make me nauseous. I do vaguely remember it getting very hot, alarmingly so in retrospect, but I didn’t know shit about exploding batteries at 5 years old so I never worried about it.

The car 12v socket adapter was awesome though!
Do you remember how hot the big wall brick would get?
