Blackbox with internal Battery Hack

[denizgarout]

Hi,

someone put a Battery and an on/off switch in the blackbox and it looks pretty sexy
just wanna post it here for the team to see. Maybe a BB MK2 with battery? Would be amazing!

That's amazing. Do you do consulting?

[jayneural]

I think you should ask to the guy who did the video on YouTube.
An mk2 with built-in battery, I would buy it for sure

[denizgarout]

like jayneural said this unfortunately isn't me I just found it on youtube

[denizgarout]

This guy also put links to the parts on his website! if only i had skills...

A great mod this. Pretty easy to do and I used a different less protruding knob.
Fully charged lasts for hours.

Nice! Any problems with the unit heating up?

[Manthos]

So interested in this!!!

The Blackbox is becoming my ultimate portable groovebox with all the features they added.

1010music should really consider a battery bank base/stand for it and maybe also compatible with the Bluebox. Add some magnet magic for the easy of use and it’ll be a beauty.

For even simpler they can just make a magnetic bottom stand that’s empty on the inside for « bring your own battery » usage, doesn’t have to be any huge battery.

Do you have a link for the battery you used?
Looks like the one listed on that guys website is no longer available

saw this video when it came out. I got the battery here:

I'll be trying the mod soon.

where can I find the switch from the picture above? I prefer it to the one from the video, which is more likely to get flicked unintentionally

This is so cool.

Few questions though:

- What about temperature? Wont it get too hot and effect the components inside?

- How long can one charge last?

[daffydeck]

It's a great idea and I saw the video a while back. I use a double battery system, unless you can charge the internal battery from another battery, it ends up needing a mains power supply... Ultimately it will have a power cable going into it, I prefer knowing my battery wont leak, degrade or explode within my BB lol

Hey there,

inspired by the other post here i build myself also a battery mod:

* Uses Charge/Power Chip (IP5306) with included Power Key (Single Push Turn On / Double Push Turn Off)
* 5000 mah LIPO Battery which gives around 4-6 hours of usage

I splitted the power lines inside the usb jack, so i could have the power module inbetween power input and the blackbox circuit board.

Also I had to move the SMD Condensators to make this large battery fit as you can see on the images.
Currently there is no Battery Level Display, but i plan to move the PowerModule's Leds somewhere outside.


Cheers from Hamburg

inspired by this i made my version with a little larger battery and a proper on/off switcher
