Using USB power banks with Aerodrums 2

Post by StefanOE » Thu Apr 03, 2025 10:40 am

Hi, I tried this combination of powerbank and cable:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DF6C52Y5?ref ... asin_title

With that the Aerodrums 2 unit started but there were strange pulsed noises inside the unit. So I quickly ended the test.

Is there something wrong with my combination and could someone give a recommendation for a better set?

Any news on the matter? Would be great to be able to use a USB standard charger with the Aerodrums 2 for better portability

Cheers!

Hi

It will be important to read the specification of the power bank which is used. Not every device (even with 45W Power Output or more) is able to delivery 20 V (Original Power Supply has ~ 18 V). This might lead to unstable voltage.
What are your experiences?

Greetings

Henrik

I have this power bank here:

https://encurtador.com.br/tdkX

Do you think it's sufficient to power the AE2 perfectly?
I couldn't find out how many Volts (V) it has.
The image below shows how many Watts (W) each input and output has.
Would anyone know how to tell me?

I ordered this one:

Down on the page in Amazon you will find the specs for each port and 20V is on the list. The overall power is more than sufficient.
But at the end our little AD2 CPU must communicate with this Power Bank 😉
Hope it helps.
