Rechargeable Powerbank for Beatstep Pro???
« on: August 05, 2015, 11:12:31 pm »
Can anyone recommend a rechargeable powerbank to power the Beatstep Pro?

Does any model work?
Are there things I should consider?

...Or if you have used one, that you know works.

thanks

I have used a Camelion PowerBox PB626 succesfully, 4400mA.

But I guess any one should work fine. I don't know how much power the BSP uses, but it is far less than the maximum on a standard USB bus (which is 500 mA).
So one charge on a powerbank will last a long time.

In essence, any one will do.

Hope this helps,

Albert

Yea i saw your post Valentin Arturia. Just wanted to make sure there were no adverse effects (ha) from using one or if there were powerbanks that people tried that just did not work. I am already running into issues regarding midi, iphones and ipads in conjunction with the BSP. So, I was just checking and couldn't find much info written about it. But Its usb and relatively low voltage so I guess there are no problems.

I guess ultimately if you buy one and it does work return it. 

Thanks for replying

If it conforms to the USB power standards then it should work fine.  I power my BSP with a powered USB 2.0 hub that powers another three devices, but is not connected to any computer.
