External Portable Battery Pack for MPC X or any MPC.

Actually the description says it only has " 2-prong AC output " so I don't think I can plug the mpc one into that.

From the product page

compatible models:

• macbook 12-inch (29W USB-C power adapter)
• macbook Air 11-inch, MacBook Air 13-inch (45W MagSafe power adapter)
• macbook Pro 13-inch (61W USB-C, 60W MagSafe power adapter)
• surface Pro 4, Surface Pro 3 (65w)
• dell XPS 13-inch (45w)

Those are some pretty beefy power supplies. The MPC One is not using more power than a Surface Pro 4. The problem is I won't be able to tell you how long it will last off of that battery. I'm not finding specs on the battery size of the Live off hand from a quick search... so won't be able to compare and estimate battery life. I kind of think the MPC Live was around 5000ma or so for 4-6 hours... so maybe this gets you more even in spite of loss through the power supply?

Is the MPC One a three prong power supply?

Edit: If it is... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheater_plug

Try this one, it's 3 Prong with 27000mAh AC Power Bank 85W (100W max).

Ah, I saw that one but Amazon has it unavailable when I go to the page.

Came across this one as well:

Not sure if it has the right specs. My just sit on this a bit an stick to a wall outlet lol

It is not always straightforward... but you're looking to see if the AC outlet has the same or more amps output than what your power supply provides.

That will work.

Thanks!

I accidentally used a 12V 2,5A charging cable, which my gf used for a different device, with the same plug for at least 10 days. Luckily all went fine, but maybe the voltage feom the plug doesn’t neccesarly have to be the exact same voltage..

I have a few of these lying around for cameras, would it be safe to use these on a ONE with the right cabling?

Here are the specs from their website

Voltage : 14.4 V
Full voltage : 16.8+/-0.1 V
Cutoff voltage : 11 V
Capacity : 95 Wh
Power limit : 70 W
Maximum current (at 25oC / 77oF) : 7.2 A

What I can confirm is if you accidentally plug the 19v MPC Live power supply into a 6v MPC Touch, the Touch goes 'pop...smoke....meh...R.I.P.'

Small update, since I tried two batterys for mpc one: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=194991&p=1803014#p1802994

Maybe it helps, even guys with EU power plugs.

hi all

im planning to get a powerbank for charging my laptop and other things. it woumd be nice if i could run the mpc one with it as well.

currently im looking at this powerbank

https://sandberg.world/en-ch/product/su ... 7in1-72000

it does have dc 20v / 3.5a output. the mpc takes 19v. can i still use this powerbank?


thank you!

The MPC takes 3.42 amps and 19 volt. You'll probably be fine, but it'll technically void your warranty.

Thank you!
