Ridding myself of AC and going off the grid

Due to pandemic boredom I got an Alto Uber battery powered PA. Alto says the battery life is 50hrs but I would venture to say it's probably less. Since I didn't have to plug in on battery power on the PA I decided to power my pedalboard with a quality iPhone 10,000 AH charging battery, so got a USB 9v 5.5 mm neg center barrel cable (1000 ma) to a 3 way daisy chain cable and thus no wall wart ac power or internal batteries needed. The bonus is that all I have to do is recharge the power pack and can still use it for other uses. Koamon going green!

I also have a TC Helicon Miic Mechanic 2 and a Sennheiser MKE 4032 which I power the same way in a different case depending on my needs.
I haven't posted here in quite a while, so I hope you all are doing well during thes trying times!

Cheers! Koamon

The TC Helicon Mic Mechanic 2, Sennheiser mic, Boss AD3, Uber PA and Bogen Camera tripod with mic boom. No batteries, compact and very portable. The only thing about the 1000 ma load of the USB converter limits the total load of your pedals to less than 1000ma total for daisy chaining and the charging battery is 5v so the conversion to 9v will cut the run time of your AH in half.

FYI, the two cases for the pedals I got at Harbor Frieght pretty cheap.
