I did a battery test with the Monoprice Executive Series Portable Charger, 15,000 mAh USB-C Power Bank, 5.4A Output

Running the MP6 at 24/192, recording only on Channels 1 & 2 (did NOT record the LR MIX tracks), phantom power on both channels, Bluetooth OFF, LCD at 1, LED at 2, plugged into the Monoprice, I got just over 12 hours runtime.
Thanks for the info on that! I'll be using the 8xAA or 4xAA Tray's with the USB C power supplies! In have NEVER liked those L-Series Lithium batteries, and I even avoided using them when I had my old SD722! If I do use the L-Series Mount, I'll DEFINITELY be using it with a Dummy Cell like Dactylus posted! That's how I used to power my old SD722 and was my preferred method of powering it!
Also folks, with the Dummy Cell wired correctly, you can even run 7.2v NIMH RC Packs! Obviously not as lightweight as Lithium, but IMO, NIMH is a more reliable and trusted technology! At least it USED to be! That's how I used to run my 722 and I have ALWAYS preferred NIMH technology to Lithium! I realize that USB batteries are just Lithium 18650 batteries, but I feel much safer running those because of the added technology that companies like Anker build into their chargers & USB Batteries! Anker has something called "Multi Protect" which has 10 different kinds of technology & regulators that make sure your devices being powered are as safe as possible!
Also, I got my MP6 yesterday, and ran it through some battery tests! I was using 2 year old Energizer 2,300mah NIMH AA's in my SD 4xAA Battery Tray! I ONLY GOT about 2 HOURS, whether the Bluetooth was on/off, as well as the LR Mix being on/off! I was running 4 channels of my 60v PFA's @24/96 directly into my MP6, which is what I plan to run 99% of the time, so that I can leave my heavy VMS02IB at home more often
I'm trying out a 10,000mah HoneyComb brand USB A Battery, with the included SD Dual USB A>C Cable, right now and I'll let yinz know about how long the 10,000mah battery runs!
I already have the Anker PowerCore+ 20,100mah USB C Battery & Anker 60w Powerline C>C Cable with Power Delivery, which should be here anyday! And I am DEF getting a few of those Monoprice USB C batteries linked above! I have some Monoprice USB items and they're a decent enough company IMO! Nowhere near as nice and reliable as an Ankerm IMO, but will still get the job done! Besides, Anker is the best USB company of anyone right now!
