Battery for Pedal Board

[DavyDave53]

Would something like this be a good substitute for a Pedaltrain Volto?

The Volto is rated at a rather small 500mAh.  This unit has 15000mAh.  Both have an output of 2A.

Other than ensuring a negative center post and possibly fabricating a cable, would this be a good option?

I have no idea.


Here's another alternative, and one that gets you off AC power (with concomitant hum from the mains):

Full disclosure:  A guy I grew up with is one of the brains at Grid1, the maker of the product.

Here's a better solution:

You have to run a signal cable from the board to your amp anyway. Run a power line with it, then tape the little rascals to the floor so you don't trip over them. Saves you a lotta money, and will be available until the sun burns out. The battery solution is gonna be expensive, unreliable, maintenance-intensive and possibly irreplaceable.
