Hi Mel

Seeing what you can do with the Jackery, I wonder if my Flashfish would handle the Pa4x and one Bose L1 compact. I will see how the numbers stack up.

the jackery is also approved by bose at least that what was said on their forum. It comes with a charger for wall outlet or car or you can buy solar panels. my kn1000 pulls 16 watts playing loud and the bose compact pulls 30 watts playing loud. The Jackery 500 has 518 watt hours and a 1000 watt peak surge cap. I can tell because the jackery tells you how much power you are using. how this helps.

I have a smaller unit that is 200w(250 peak) with 151 amp hrs. At 12 volts it equates to 4.1 amps for both, as mine is the same load as yours(16 and 30). If I am not mistaken, mine should work, but for a shorter time.

Thanks Mel, I just didn't want to damage anything.

Probably enough with a 500 to run a couple of LED stage lights too...

but all of these, as good as they are, are not going to be as hassle free as a straight ahead battery powered keyboard.

You said exactly what I was trying to say. I got a power station and I love it! But I'm just looking for something very portable and as you say, "hassle free"

Nice little keyboard.

Works with batteries but not as loud as when plugged in.

I guess, for me, the thing would be that you have created all of these set ups and know your arranger intimately, and then for the sake of not karting around a power supply, you have to go through the process of learning an entirely new arranger! That seems like a hell of a sight more work to get a sound that’s going to be noticeably inferior to your main arranger. Not to mention, probably at least as much money as a power station (which you can use for other things as well).

Maybe it’s just me, but I never could understand how easily some of you guys bounce from one arranger to the next! It takes me forever to get an arranger where I’m happy with it... The less moving from one piece of gear to the next, the better, IMHO 🎹😎

I am with you Diki.
It takes me at least 2 month before I will take a new arranger out to play.
Not like Donny or Uncle Dave etc who get it in the morning
and take it out in the evening. ...
However, as mentioned above, I did look at battery powered arrangers too for various reasons and liked the Korg the best.
The game changed for me however when I heard about the power station. ...
