Anker battery ower supply for Beresford Bushmaster

[mbic]

Does anyone use one of these to power their Bushmaster? http://www.amazon.co.uk/20000mAh-Multi-Voltage-Portable-Technology-Camcorders-Black/dp/B00GSLRKJO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1414926773&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+battery

Hello, I was also interested in this battery, but seems that it also has auto shutdown feature when the device is not drilling enough current over the 12v output. Response from Anker support:

Thanks for contacting Anker Support.

If the current draw is lower than 0.05A then the Pro will shut off after around 50 seconds.

I hope this answers your questions but please do get back to me if you need anything else at all.

Thanks for that. Is there another suitable battery power supply please?

[mkrzych]

Don't know really, but I saw on the forum that the problem with auto shutdown could be resolved adding small bulb in the circuit to constantly draw more current to prevent the battery to go for sleep.

BTW, here is the whole thread about it: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?28325-High-End-battery-solution-for-the-TC-7533-Bushmaster-MKII

I am using a Anker battery with my Bushmaster mkll with no problems.

Hi

Is it this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/20000mAh-Multi-Voltage-Portable-Technology-Camcorders-Black/dp/B00GSLRKJO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1414926773&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+battery

Yes

Many thanks, I take it it's worth doing?

Yes, I think so for the price, which is less then half the cost of a decent linear power supply. Read the thread linked by Mkrzych to give you some idea of the results you can except with a battery. I also have it connected to 12v plasma lamp just in case of problems, but up to know it has not been needed. Tried connecting my Touch to the 5v output on the battery which worked very well, but was heavy on battery use so went back to the power supply for the Touch.

Barry, do you need to press any button to start charging the battery, Thinking of using a 7 day timer to automate charging.

Thanks

I would say no, I just pluged mine into the mains and it started charging. You can download a copy of the manual from here.

This is the battery I decided to buy https://www.spycameracctv.com/spycamera/12v-dc-rechargeable-li-on-lithium-6800mah-battery-for-security-cameras I would have preferred a larger capacity, but this is the largest one they do.

It doesn't have the refinement of the Anker battery in the sense that you can see how much charge is left, but it shouldn't cut out if the DAC current drops below 50mA. The dc cable which is supplied is the correct termination for the Bushmaster. I will report back as to how long the DAC runs for on one charge and, if it cuts out

I tried the previous version of this battery with my BMII. It worked fine but found that the Akaka was marginally better. I now have the CMII and power both the DAC and my SB Touch (via USB) from the Ankaka with good results and when not in use the draw on the battery is pretty low (the EDO screen saver ensures it is almost always totally off). I brought another Anker battery to use two of them to drive my Temple Audio monoblocs which they do nicely (I can run mains free) except one does intermittently shut-down. It could be a fault but I have ordered the MK2 Anker to see if it does any better.

I did try connecting the Touch up to the battery again yesterday, but with the clock running on the Touch I got less then a day's use out of the battery. I will have to give the EDO screen saver a shot. Now have the Touch connected via the supplied power supply and S-Booster, might be me but I did think the sound via my BMII was better with it connected this way?

Look's ok for the price.

My wife always take my son to his swimming training on a Friday night. So I look forward to listening to some quality tunes from my Bushmaster Mk2 and SBT both driven by my Anker battery after the weekly grind !

Tonight I switched on the SBT and Bushmaster about a half hour before listening to warm up - and poured myself a large glass of Laphroaig :)

Went back into the lounge half an hour later and the Bushmaster has powered down :scratch:

After a bit of frenzied diagnosis I discover that my grain of wheat bulb had blown (leaving the Anker battery to shutdown the BM after 20 minutes). Luckily when I ordered the bulb I got a bulk pack and so after another 10 minutes had a new one in place and power was restored to my rig :):):):)

My bulb must have lasted for nearly a year of listening - but just a reminder for anyone running this setup - the bulbs do go pop eventually (and sometimes at the most unfortunate moments).

Does anyone have a link to the actual battery/product item from the Ankaka website. It is not an easy site to find things. Thanks

[StanleyB]

I don't think that they have any stock left.

Are these any good?

First one the Anker is what I have used for the last year or so. Sounds very good but you do need to connect a bulb on split lead to keep the Bushmaster powered up (otherwise the battery shuts down after 20 minutes or so due to the BM's low voltage).

The second battery I am not aware of anyone trying yet with a BM. On paper looks good - 30000mah - but maybe a clone of the Anker (power lights are in the same semi circular pattern - and so could shutdown also).

Are you running the Bushmaster with the led's on, I find that is enough to keep my Bushmaster running with the Anker battery mk2, but I do have a 12v plasma lamp connected just in case of problems.

Yes I do keep the LEDs on - but my Anker still cuts out - needs the grain of wheat bulb (as was demonstrated when my original bulb blew the other day and the BM cut out again).

Mind you another reason I don't use sleep mode is that I find that the BM doesn't always remember the last used input as well in sleep mode. I use the 1st Coax input with my SBT and using sleep mode the BM kept going back to the 1st Toslink instead (not every time but more often than not). It is OK if the 1st Toslink is what you use but irritating if not (as you have to keep pressing the input button every time you switch on). If I switch to having the LEDs on the BM remembers the correct input 99 times out of 100.

Do you get a sort of … buttery sound with it?
