Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By nyst8 Thu Nov 11, 2004 2:09 am
anyone know if there is one or how to configure a battery so I can power the MPC(for an hour or more :? ) while taking train rides or long trips?

if there isn't, has anyone tried(we do have some techs in here)....thanks

I got an old APC Back-Up that I occasionaly use. lasts about an hour.
apcc.com has new ones. They dont even list the one I got (model#BK300)

i got one...but its heavy as hell...and the battery doesn't last very long(I got it for free so I don't really know my options with it).....but I'm thinking something smaller(like laptop battery size or a lil bigger).....first stop Radio Shack....then Home Depot and Lowe's...hahah...

its possible to get it to adapt to a car cigarette lighter thing. one of my friends did this

And forget to turn it off... haha....

If fo'real... i was seriously thinking about this... and after a long time... i found for my self that there is no stuff like this... that can really help...
only if you're mad with it... and you can take big box with you to train and make beats in hurry... for 1 hour... turning on... and turning off... i think we should wait a little while... but maybe there is already something new

You want to use your MPC on a train in NY. Are you sure you want to do that?

For car trips you can buy a 12 Volt to 120 AC converter which plugs into your cig. lighter. Some trains have AC outlets, look around. The same goes for airplanes.

I tried to charge my cell on one of them trains with outlets, the outlets aren't hooked up. Not sure they'd want people draining the batteries of the train.

There is no way to do this without two,both bulky and heavy things. . .

A gel cell battery and a power inverter... you could probably throw one together for 200 canadian dollars... i sell everything you would need to do it.... if anyone wants a quote email me at [email protected]

Note... if you want it for the car all u need is a 12 Volt inverter....

I'll hook you guys up... lemme know.
