Guys, I bought Powerbank with PD 2000o mah + usb C PD to 12v adapter and this crazy little ■■■■■■■ takes max 19,2 Wat when everything is set to max (built in speakers take up to 0,6 Amps on full power). On that powerbank this gear can work for 3 hours straight xd

Update: 2hours in mix and 60% of battery remaining xd Update 2: after 3 hours of set, 40% battery left. Outstanding [17738521769592218091222956778202]

This means arround 5140mah = 19.2 Watt

Ikr? Using a compact XTPower 15600 for some of my outdoor mixes since 2022. That‘s where the (often frown upon) 12VDC input of the Live 2/4 comes in handy. [image] Internal battery not enough? Standalone Controllers I can highly recommend the XTPower 15600/200…

I prefer 12V Brick power supplies when most prefer IEC. My theory is if you are going to have catastrophic failure it is likely going to be Power Supply, you can replace an external power supply, you cannot replace an internal for most users. Actually I believe all gear that can be run off of USB-C…

That’s the point where I’m with you (and in disagreement with Mojaxx, Phil & Co. who tend to complain when spotting a 12VDC input). An external PSU acts like a filter and keeps the high voltage (+ heat) out of the unit, while also saving internal space. My preferred solution would be a redundant DC …

Which adapter you bought? Would be interesting for BBQ sessions :slight_smile: .

Some from amazon pd usb c to 12v (with variable voltage which I can change using button). I also ordered some pd usb c to directly 12v which will be more secure (no one will change voltage from 12 to 15 by accident - I don’t know how sc live 4 handle that

[image] Skaratak: If IEC, either give me a locking option The System One has a locking IEC cable, but it seems to be propietary so not easily replaced. [20260325_094440_1]

It’s not proprietary. Locking IEC is standard on many devices (for example video screen controllers). It’s called V-lock IEC and was developed by company Schurter. V-Lock Connectors | SCHURTER V-Lock by SCHURTER is a cord retention system and prevents unintetional unplugging. …

Hi, I use power tool batteries (ryobi) for this, with an adapter that has usb pd + usb-c to 12v cable. It works very well :slight_smile: I can confirm it works for hours this way.

Sc Live 4 is crazy good on battery
