I noticed on YouTube and various other areas on the web that many people are recommending a particular type of portable lithium-ion battery to use with your MPC One (or even your Live to extend the battery life outside your studio). Popular YouTuber "TheHitBraniac" even recommended this battery to his viewers in this video here:

The product he is recommending in the video is here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M189SS0/re ... DEb2EXXVQ8
It's a < $27 USD battery which seems like a great deal on the surface. That said, the specs of this battery is 7.4 volts and 48.8 Wh. To get the amps, you divide your watt hours by total voltage, so 48.8 Wh / 7.4 volts = 6.59 Amps. Even if it puts out DC at 6 volts to 8.4 volts, that's 8.13 amps to 5.8 amps.
The required DC voltage and amps for the MPC One (and MPC Live) is 19 volts and 3.42 Amps. No more, no less. I do not suggest you consider this battery, as it will likely greatly reduce the life of your MPC. Putting almost double the amps by itself is going to be problematic over time, but putting not enough voltage into it is also not recommended.
Thoughts?
