What’s the verdict on using a batterybank with Organelle?

Organelle
1

Safe to use? How long ? etc.

i use one all the time, i just make sure that I power down the organelle before the bank runs out. how long depends on the capacity of the battery, mine last many many hours :slight_smile:

oh and if its a usb battery bank, you’ll need a USB to 9v adapter.
ive detailed all this on the forum before, if search I’m sure you’ll find it :wink:

Bus journeys will never be the same again :ok_hand:

Great, yeah I searched but couldn’t find. Is there a 9v one you recommend?

i used this

its nothing ‘special’ afaik, just one that had reasonable reviews when i bought it, and ive had no issues with it - I bought a switchable 9v/12v as Ive another use for it, if i was just buying for the organelle, Id get a simple 9v one, just to avoid an accident of it being on 12v :wink:

I’ve a 20000mAh usb battery bank, and last a really long time… but you could buy a smaller one if you wanted it to be a bit lighter.

overall all works great :slight_smile:

Oof, that step up converter cable is great. I’m using a 6xAA battery pack and just having to use guesswork to judge when they need changing. Being able to plug into my power bank would be loads safer and cheaper.
