Which USB powerbank and cable to power a mixpre 6II??

(1/4) > >>

swordfish:
I wonder what people use nowdays to power the unit and which cable. 

I tested all my larger powerbanks without sucess(Ravpower PB/Talentcell PB which I use with my R44).  But both units failed and the display showed "usb power source low". 

I guess I need new PB and a new cable.  Any advice will be good advice...

Thanks in advance!

I use a Talentcell Rechargeable 12V/11000mAh 9V/14500mAh 5V/26400mAh DC Output Lithium ion.  I think many of us with the MP6ii do (?).  I have a custom DC -> Hirose cable with the SDevices Hirose sled.  Most of us don't (!), but the locking Hirose sold me over a USB connection.

In my opinion, the most reliable USB power bank method is to use a bank that has a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) output on it, along with a sturdy USB-C to USB-C cable. I use a 6-inch right-angle to right-angle cable that fits between my mixpre-6ii recorder and the power bank tucked into the recorder bag outside pocket. I’ve been using this for years without incident. I keep an MX-Lmount with two small L-mount batteries on the back as backup, but have never needed to fall back on them. I have several brands and sizes of power bank, and they all fully power (green rather than orange battery display) the recorder with their USB-C PD output.

I use this Anker 10,000mAh for single shows - never had an issue.

I have an older much larger Anker 20500 for longer days and festies.

I've had good luck with Anker batteries.

Can you please provide me a link to the cable you are using.  Thanks to all for the detailed information so far.  I will test the Anker PowerCore 10000mAk Redux, Powerbank USB-C Power Delivery (18W) power bank.

Cheers, SF
