It can be done.  I ran my AD2K and MT off a Tekkeon no problem. It outputs 6v and 12v, so you could run it either way depending on how your V3 is configured.  I love my Tekkeon battery though.

I have the 3450. You can have someone hack the spiral power cord that came with it if you keep the battery close to your V3.  That's what I did.

Great thanks for the info. how many hours would you say you could get out of the two units?

4-5 hours I'd guess.

Get the 3450 or up, they have a "bonus USB" out where you can plug in a USB-powered device (the MT), and also plug something else into the main power out (the V3).  The USB voltage is fixed 5v, the main power out is variable (user selected or automatic depending on model, I'd steer clear of the "automatic..")

I have a 3450, it works great.  Good luck!
