Hello,
Lots of us would like to have MPC1000 battery powered, to be able to move easily...
Technically speaking, it *should* be possible to add a battery unit in the 2,5" hard disk bay.
1/ Where to find a battery that fits in a 2,5" case ? I'm sure it's possible to find such a battery somewhere in the world... ie larger than a phone battery, and smaller than a laptop computer battery...
2/ If a battery can be fitted in the hard disk bay, I don't see any reason why it would impossible to wire this battery to the power PCB of the MPC (after transformer)... This needs to be studied!
3/ Battery time : I already measured the ampere electro current used by a MPC, and did some rough computations, but I cannot find my notes about that... I only remember that the conclusion was that it should be possible to have a battery working during 3 or 4 hours... (with mid-range batteries according to the 2,5" format )
If any of you have some ideas or tpis about where to find such batteries, you're welcome !

PS : I know this subject has already been discussed here viewtopic.php?t=63870&highlight=battery and somewhere else, but not putting a battery in the hard disk bay.
