Best portable battery bank for MPC Key 37

I enjoy that the Key 37 didnt come with a battery, using your own battery source is better because you can use the battery pack for powering your other stuff.

Having said that, what model will work with the 37? Im not seeing any made by anker that has an AC outlet.

Just going to jump in before suggestions are made, and say the MPC Key 37 is 12 V, 3.0 A, center-positive, just like the new MPC-One.

I recently bought this battery pack and it works brilliantly powering my Akai Key 37. It comes with the 12v dc adapter.

I use this adapter and an USB-C wall outlet from the start (I didn't even unpack Akai's that was in the box). So I can plug it in any powerbank featuring power delivery (PD), eg this one and also several larger ones by INIU.

Food for thought, your mpc doesnt have the proper power management for battery. it doesnt know its capacity, discharge rate, voltage, amperage any of that stuff and just because a battery will power it on via the barrel jack doesnt mean its ok to use it that way continuously. the live and live ii have power management baked into the kernel so that in the event the voltage is too low you get a "battery low" indication and the unit powers off. brown-out's arent really the best for your gears longevity. When your mpc is running from an external pack, it cannot regulate the flow of energy.

good points
