Portable battery amp list

[Cuki79]

I thought it would be good to list the battery powered amp on the market

Can you point me to a source that says the Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge is Li-Ion? All I can find when I search is one guy posting that it probably is. Are you sure?

All the Roland battery powered amps use AA batteries. With the AC-33 and Streetcube EX the batteries go in a removable 8 cell holder so that you can have an extra set standing by. These amps work well with rechargeable AA batteries, but the batteries and charger are an extra expense.

Lbx Mini charge doesn’t have an anti feedback circuit. I’ll list the Vox amps and a bunch of the more obscure stuff if you repost the parameter list unfilled.

It’s also sadly looking like the Freeplay is a done deal.

A combination of that and not having enough channels for me plus a second singer kept me from considering this amp.

I have one of these, not technically an amp but a mini-PA.

I can see that but the Freeplay is available inexpensively enough to buy two, one for you and one for her and still be under any of the others budget.

I can't be sure. But from specs I guess it is. I should correct that.

It seems to me if it was Li-ion, they would proudly display it. Usually it is SLA if not specifically mentioned.

Usually when it is lead acid you have many WARNINGS about leakage and keeping it charged.... That's why I thought so

I checked the information, Fishman mini uses a lead acid battery

Hang on cuki!
