Help With Choosing A USB Powerbank For Busking
Morning/Afternoon everyone, hope everyone's well?
I was wondering if anyone could help me decide on choosing the right usb powerbank for my busking needs that I'll be buying sometime today? I'd appreciate it if you could leave me a few links to trusted stores online (In The UK as that's where I live) where I could simply just click and buy without having to worry about anything Basically, I'll only be powering the "TC Helicon Acoustic Play" out on the street for the time being, but at some point in the future I'll probably be adding a "Ditto Loop player" and maybe even a "beat buddy" to my setup, so I'll need at least 3 usb slots in my powerbank Also, I'll need it to be able it to give me enough power to play for 6 hours + and something that's going to be solid in construction that isn't going to break apart I've seen a few cheap ones on Ebay, but I'm a firm believer in "You pay for what you get" so I don't mind spending a few $$$ to get the right one to meet my needs, but nothing that's going to be ridiculously expensive if you know what I mean? I think I've covered everything I need, so thanks guys, I look forward to your advice |

I was looking at this as a backup power supply/something to power portable devices: https://www.anker.com/products/a1750...3NorWEVM_OGe1g
It may suit your needs. Plus it’s $200 off for Cyber Monday!

as on the other thread, the Play wants 12v, the other pedals want 9v (so two different USB to barrel adapters). You likely can get away with daisy chaining the 9v effects, but everything you add increases the current draw and will decrease how long the battery runs everything. Also daisy chaining can add noise but depends on the details - I've certainly used them plenty in the past.
I have run the Play off a 9V power supply, but it was plugged in rather than battery so results may vary. https://www.amazon.com/Pigtone-Guita.../dp/B08Y5SKY9M I picked up one of these for power: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YPY31FL...roduct_details

Thanks guys for the replies
@Nostatic, I think I've narrowed it down to two possibilities now, the one you suggested which is on sale here for £65 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364015763...Bk9SR_bT-PSXYQ And, I've came across this one that has 4 USB ports and is 30,000 MAH for an extra £15 or so, what do you think, will that one be up to the job? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394333780...Bk9SR-Dd3PSXYQ Thanks all for the tips & help |
