Peace ! Ive been using the mycharge model# ac13k-a capacity: 49.58 wh , input 20vdc, 2.0
Ac output 120v ac , 60hz , 45watts max
It last me all afternoon i used it today for 3 hours straight and still have more than half left
I hope this is helpful!

So how long does it stay alive ?? I am thinking if getting your exact setup.

#44

I did not run it more than 1 1/2 hours until now. So I got 80% charge left after that. Depending of course on the linearity of the battery and your power drain (which correlates on the complexity of your songs + sound volume :smile: ), but my guess is that it would be roughly about 5-7 hours.

#45

7 hours not bad at all. Do you reckon there’s much difference between 16,000 and 20,000 mah version. That 16,000 mah is a good deal.

#46

With 25% more capacity, you should get approx. 25% longer play time…should be quite linear. I bought a smaller capacity as I won‘t need more for now.

#47

Thanks to share, I have been searching converters like that KKmoon and I did not find.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but I’m using a RipCord from MyVolts. It powers my OT from a USB battery now. Or my Heat, for that matter.

#49

MK1 or 2? just curious, I have an MK1…both the the Heat and OT. If these work, i might have to get one.

An MKII :+1:

Is that RipCord a 6v?

#53

It’s a 12v.

Powers both a Heat and a Blackbox.

Hi,

So the 12v ripcord powers the OT MK2?

Just a little confused by previous posts about 6vs for OT.

Thanks

#55

OT mk1 uses 6v, OT mk2 12v.

Hi, just bought a charmast 26800ah power bank with the ripcord 12v but not working with OT MK2, any ideas why?

It has a bunch of USB ports inc 5v 2.4a, which I thought was correct.

#60

I powering OT mki and more with previous verison on this via Ripcord. Works great
