Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Anyone running a battery-powered board? What power supply options are out there? I am thinking of putting together a Nano+ board with compressor, OD, and tuner for lugging with me to practices with bands/jams that are not in our rehearsal space (where I keep a larger board). Being battery powered would allow me to plug into the backline without having to run power out to the pedal board. I'd need 3-4 hours of power, at least. Bonus would be fitting underneath a Nano+ without modification.
Warwick Rockboard Power LT XL would be my choice.

yeah, I've seen those lately.......Outlaw, Donner and a few others have some....they look really handy but I wonder if there's noise (hum) cause I heard some really cheap ones are noisy

I couldn't wait, I ordered a Mission Engineering 529 with the battery. Anyone else using this?

Yup. Really diggin this thing. Totally wireless and lightweight. I need a better battery pack, but those are pretty reasonably priced.

I'm running a couple of pedals from a phone-type battery pack from Anker. I think it's the 2100 model, but I'm not sure. The charge lasts for a loooong time, and I just use a birdcord to power it.Birdcord USB to 9V Converter Cable

Then I just hooked up a multi-power chain cable and I'm all set. It works really well, and I haven't had any problems with it at all.
Good luck to you.
 
I ended up getting this. Not as sleek as a pt or pt clone but looks nice and has room for a power supply: Stickman Pedal Boards Pedalboard 12" 2018 Black / Oak

I got this board in the mail yesterday and it is extremely well made and lightweight. I thought that the plastic ends would be a little bit flimsy but they are solid. Very good design. Now, I almost wish that I had ordered the 18" one.

I and others have had good luck using 1 single 9v to power 3-4 pedals with a battery clip like...

and keenstone 800mah rechargeable 9V You can find on amazon and elsewhere.

Battery fits between 2 pedals and I keep a spare on board as well.
Do the math with the draw of your pedals, to determine approx lifespan.
Ill send pics later.
