This makes me think some other problems people are having may be link to dirty power.
Me, I’ve always used power conditioners for all gear I deem important.

Here is what battery i got, it works great but only tried quickly so far. I went for the 45w output as the 60w was no longer for sale and i figured the mpc will not pull 45 watt. I went for a 26800mAH size powerbank so i can take it on planes .

Battery:
Anker 537 Power Bank (PowerCore 26K for Laptop)

The above has been working great for me, i can get around 4-5 hours of one charge.

Gee this makes me wonder why the hell I bought a Live to make music instead of a One to hack.

Dang, NewAkaiUser, your setup looks great. Still no problems after a year? I tried the myvolts cord with a basic power bank (only USB level 5v? output) and it gave me issues. This is on my todo list.
Are you just velcro'ing the pack on there? Any chance you are going to open it up, or go more extreme with your power situation?

Still zero problems when powered by a powerbank. It is attached with double-sided 3M tape permanently, and also serves as a small stand.
Now I have no reason to open the MPC, but that time is coming because several pads stop responding. Specifically, it's "hihat pads" - 3,4 and 9.

Hi bud,

Did you have the need to open your MPC yet to sort out the pads? I would really like to know if your powerbank would physically fit inside. If yes, I would be looking to run it internally with a 2x case-mounted USB-C ports - 1 for charging the powerbank and 1 for the output from the bank to allow an external flylead to go back into the stock 19v input. My MPC is a keeper so I have no problems opening it up and drilling holes for USB ports or mounting powerbanks.

Cheers

I was given this antique, probably 15 to 20 years old, 19V lithium-ion accumulators pack among a crate of junk from an abandoned office... It was intended for laptops but it works perfectly with my MPC One. It weights a ton.

No one solved this problem?

Week of internet searching, and I find that the deanon prime go have same motherboard as akai mpc one, but already have battery

I try to find the battery board picture to understand what all 10 pins means, but I can’t find it

We need some, who use akai live and who can open the battery and take a good picture :worthy:

Hint how you glued your power bank, there is one screw (closer to the left side if you look at the back) that prevents the powerbank from lying flat?

Baseus Power Bank is compatible with MPC One +

Hi everyone, I really need help.

I need a battery for MPC One + ( 12v / 3A ).

Is Baseus Power Bank, Powerbank 20000 mAh 100 W Slim completely suitable?

https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B0BFQXQWSV

Or Baseus Power Bank, 65 W Power Bank USB-C 26800 mAh,

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/External-Bat ... B0CDGM8CBW

Has anyone used it for a long time and know that it is completely safe for mpc?

I have seen the XT-20000QC3 PowerBank and the mpcstuff Battery Mount they are highly rated but unfortunately not available in my country , Baseus is always available, I want to buy directly and have warranty.

Thanks All

And you're not regulating neither the voltage nor the amperage in your setup?!! :hmmm:

Also:

If I come back to it a day later it won’t turn on. I have to open it up to get the battery to turn back on. Totally sucks, not sure what I can do to correct this.


:nod: You might want to be more transparent here.
