What are your best hacks to attach a battery pack / power bank to the Play?

Howdy,

Would be interested in seeing your best hacks to attach a power bank to the Play. Velcro? Glue?
Ideally I would love to find a thin power bank (not necessarily small in the other dimensions), that I could put under. Say, the size of an iPad mini or iPad Pro 11in, but only as a battery. But that would probably be expensive.

Thanks

On my wishlist for the Polyend Play+++

  • Internal battery
  • Internal memory (the card reader is faster on the Play+, but it’s still such a slowdown to go from one sample pack to another)
  • Bluetooth/BLE MIDI

Saw it somewhere on this forum :smiley: works like a charm and lasts for more hours you’d imagine, The only drawback I have found is that the power button is tricky to press while using it, 10/10 buy again :smiley:

i thought this was pretty slick:

Oh that is both interesting. It seems lightweight, hopefully not too much stress on the port. Doesn’t the Play require 5V though? These small batteries seem to deliver less than that (3.7V). Thanks!

Thanks, funny enough I was looking at this post yesterday, looking for a stand, and I’m still trying to find somebody locally to 3D print it. The video on Vimeo is not accessible to me though, so I can’t tell where the battery pack fits in this assembly – I assume somewhere under it?

I wouldn’t use anything like that battery with the external connector sticking out. The USB C port really isn’t designed to have a weighted connector hanging off of it. That’s just asking to break internal solder joints.
