If the upgrade kit is no longer available, maybe you can give us the schematics so we can make it ourselves and 3D print the parts?

[@9oooooooo797]

Hi ! Why DISCONTINUED psu upgrade?

[@joserenteria6141]

So for the two battery pack bracket you get the jst xh splitter when you purchase.

[@soundmod.io.]

yes correct

[@joserenteria6141]

@@soundmod.io. thank you bro just order everything went with the two fivo battery pack really wanted to build my own but they were out of stock..🤔🙏👍

[@soundmod.io.]

@@joserenteria6141 youre welcome man! and yah i also just noticed the prices also increased. it might be because of the chip shortage having an effect on general consumer electronics.

[@joserenteria6141]

No thank you brother...now i could take my classic mpc2000xl on the road and its going to be lighter the before..i really like your skills keep up the good work 👨‍🔧🙏

Is there any harm in running the converted MPC on mains 99% of the time? I really want to do this mod but experience shows I'm mostly at my desk with the MPC, though I'd love the option to just disconnect everything and head outside to play. Will the BMS handle proper battery hygiene in this situation?

[@soundmod.io.]

Having it plugged in most of the time will probably have the same effect as having a laptop plugged in all the time. Not ideal but it's probably okay. The BMS is most likely a basic type and at the very least only limits overcharge and over-discharge, so I can't really say I confidently know the effect in the long term. However, with Li-Ion there is no memory effect like other chemistries and it is always good to do a full charge/full discharge cycle once in a while. I will say though, if battery health is a concern and you will most likely keep your MPC plugged in with a power adapter... then you may be better off with a Basic or Boosted kit. That way you can plug the MPC with a power adapter, and then use an external battery pack to power it if you want to go portable.

@@soundmod.io. That’s what I was thinking as well. Honestly, with how turnkey these batteries are I’m pretty sure if I do end up degrading their life in a year or two I can easily swap them out. I do like the idea of the battery pack though, I might mull over just doing that. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll likely be picking something up in the next few months :)

[@soundmod.io.]

@@littl3jackaland thank you! glad to help!

How many hours of playing time does a 4 cell vacuum battery in an mpc1000 have? How many hours of playing time does a two 4 cell vacuum battery in an mpc1000 have?

[@soundmod.io.]

for the MPC1000, its a little over 3 hours with 1 pack and over 6 hours with 2 packs. exact math is calculated and shown at 03:34 and 04:32 in the video.

[@chieflion7216]

There’s already a built in connector on the MPC for the battery connector?

[@soundmod.io.]

there's an 'Advanced PSU Kit' (offered on modularsound.io) installed in the MPC. which the battery connects to.

[@chieflion7216]

@@soundmod.io. ahh got it. Will be getting one then.

[@soundmod.io.]

@@chieflion7216 glad to sort out the confusion! thanks my man!

[@JACKOJACKO121]

So you get the kit off your website then get the batteries elsewhere?

[@soundmod.io.]

yeah exactly. the batteries can be purchased on Amazon, which is linked in the video description.

It’s hard to see that an random guy do it better than Akai
