Powering multiple pedals with battery.. Pack?

I'm sure this is doable. But I'm not sure how comin it may Be. Does anyone knowing something is made that'll allow one or a couple 9v to power multiple pedals?

There are a number of power supplies made to power multiple pedals. Why do you want one powered with batteries?

Sanyo makes something like this. Its the size of a pedal, its rechargeable, and powers nine volt pedals. I'd get one but I have an 18 volt pedal in my chain.

Well, make your own. I have a home made one that uses 16 AA eneloop batteries. I have it wired for just 9v output but I could easily add an 18 v output. It lasts forever, can run on 8 or 16 batteries. I even added a cheap led voltmeter on it to see where my batteries are. Eneloop batteries are great because they will charge like 1500 times, will retain 85% of their original charge even after a year and will run at a decent voltage until they are almost flat. I have been using those for my macro photography hobby for years and they have never failed me.

Right now, the pack powers: TC Polytune, T1M buffer, EHX Mole, MSLP Looper, WH Pork Loin, Micro Thumpinator, Grey Stache, Rat King. I will add a OSD to that when I get it. It works great, lasts forever, no noise. I did have to add a diago isolator on the MSLP looper however, but other than that, super quiet.

I can post photos of the pack if you want.

Pedaltrain are due to come out with a product for the Mini and Nano boards called the 'Volto'. It's been due to arrive for about 12 months, but there's pics of it at the recent NAMM show. I'll hopefully pick one up when it's released...

I remember reading about that somewhere. Doesn't it have an unusually long charge time???

No idea, friend. I've heard it can power pedals for 36 hours. Info is pretty thin on the ground.

Here's the Sanyo Pedal Juice. It's not cheap @ $149, though.

Something worth checking out:

I use Anker batteries on my phone. Cheap and have more charge than my original phone battery

If I'm understanding correctly you're looking for a power pack that doesn't need to be plugged into the mains?

if I were you i'd just buy a regular power supply pack that plugs into a wall, I usually bring a multiple socket thingy with me anyway just in case but if there's no electricity there's no gig anyway so I don't need to have a wireless pedalboard.
