External Portable Battery Pack for MPC X or any MPC.

I think its the same brand, I have to check it later but I got it from Sam's Club. Looks identical though.

I would bring it to work to charge it and use it at home. My only complaint is when I use it for a fan to cool myself, the fan at high speed functions like as if at low speed. Doesn't power up the fan all the way.

I just snagged a 250w powerpack and it rocks. I can power a decent pa speaker, laptop and my Touch for a few hours easily!

Ok. Dam l got a Sam's Club near me. But CharlesRandolph had cheap prices.

That's kewl! Much needed thread.

Yeah it’s cool to see these battery packs getting more compact these days.

Here is another one however I've never tested it. However it's another option.

ChargeTech - PLUG
Price: $315.00
54,000 mAh Portable Battery w/
Pass Through Charging
250 Watt Output
2 USB Ports
2 International AC Wall Outlets
USB-C Output

There is another one by ChargeTech wtih 42000mAh 250W/110V and the price is $285.00.

I bought this for my mpc one from amazon and it works like a charm. After 2 hours 3/4 of the battery is still full

We just talked about this at length HERE..

Are you running an MPC X, Live, or One off of that direct? If so, you're going to dramatically lessen the life of your MPC by using that, as the MPC X, Live and One have very specific energy requirements of 19 volts and 3.42 Amps. The product you linked to does 12V / 2.5A or 20V / 3A. Or does it have a direct wall plug connector as well? Can't see one on the product page.

The original power brick solution that Charlie posted is a safer solution, as you plug in your actual power supply that comes with your MPC to it so it gets the correct voltage and amperage.

I have a mpc one with 19v/3.42a the bank im using has 2 outputs and im using the 20v output. I know its more voltage but i read somewhere that there is 5% tolerance 1v more is 5%.....

And the amperage? Looking forward to you reporting how long your MPC One lasts pumping the wrong voltage/amps into it. Let us know how that goes! Hopefully the 5% tolerance you "read somewhere" is accurate.

the amp doesn't matter every device draw so much amp as needed there is no overkill voltage is important and must be correct but like i said 1 volt above is 5% tolerance and until now its working well

This is factually incorrect, but that's cool. If it's working for you, then you do you.

you can't damage a device with more amp than it needs so explain to me why it is factually wrong?

Yeah, I'm not sure what the confusion between volts and amps here is... but the rating of amps is the maximum that a power supply can provide. Electronic devices have an average and maximum that they need to draw, and the power supply has an average and maximum it can provide.

For example, I've got 12 guitar pedals that all run 9v and I agree with you the power supply must be 9v. They are daisy chained together so that they all only need one power supply. My power supply provides up to 2700ma of power, and the pedals consume about 1700ma of power on average, which ensures that all of them can operate and function properly within the specs of the power supply. So I have plenty of headroom if I wanted to add another pedal, but there is no issue that the devices in the chain consume less amps than the power supply can provide.

I agree with you that devices that consume more amps than the power supply can provide can absolutely shorten the life of the device or the power supply, and you absolutely should not do this, and you absolutely need to match the voltage specifications. I'm not so sure what you're concern with a power supply providing the ability to draw more than the device needs is though. Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but there might be a misalignment of terms.

"Many people are confused by amperage ratings and what they mean when it comes to power supplies and replacements.

The amperage rating is the maximum amount of power it can supply.

One way to look at it is as if amperage were “taken” (often referred to as “drawn”, as in pulling) by the device being powered. That device will only draw as much amperage as it needs to perform whatever it’s doing. Your computer will use more power, in the form of higher amperage draw, when it’s working hard than when it’s not. (Voltage remains the same regardless.)

Thus, as long as you replace your power supply with one capable of providing as much or more amps than the previous supply, you’ll be fine.

If for some reason your replacement power supply has a lower-than-required maximum amperage rating, you may end up with a burnt out or overheating power supply, and the device itself may not function."
