Just thinking ahead, as I see that my MPC Live’s battery won’t charge past 98%: what’s the timeframe and likelihood of us having to replace the rechargeable batteries? Would it be easy and besides MPCStuff, where could we look for replacement batteries?

Was thinking about getting a MPC Live 2 for the speaker functionality in the near future, but may look at getting a MPC X instead for a backup MPC.

Have you depleted it all the way down by chance? At one point my Live would not charge past 99% no matter how long I left it. After I depleted it, charged normally ever since.

I haven’t. Maybe I should. I always put it on the charger when it gets to a certain percentage and I usually charge it until the amber light goes out in between uses.
