Sleven Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Searched the forum and have seen some options to include the battery pack and adapter from digikey. Anyone had any luck with some prefabricated battery packs http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-iCruiser-IMP1000-Blackberry/dp/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=pd_vtp_e_5. or some solar options. I might be way off or just lazy or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I also have a battery pack similar to the one you posted which I bought to charge my phone or tablet on trips. Using it to power the pineapple works great: I get around 5 hours battery life with it, depending on usage even more. The battery pack you posted is much stronger than the one I have though. So I expect it to last much much longer. Best, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price was a little high for that model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 That's the exact battery I use for my Mk4 development boards and it gets ~8-10 hours. Here's the USB cable I use to power it off this pack: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MQO96U Eventually we'll have a Premium WiFi Pineapple "Tactical Assault" kit available in the HakShop but really this platform is so versatile I expect homebrew development go nuts. Bring on the 50,000 mah car batteries and transformer lunch boxes!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on a backpack integration with a home-brew antenna similar to the link. Discrete is always preferred. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That's a nice little antenna you've found there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get some funky signal issues if you bend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn thats one helluva battery! 11k mah! What I don't understand is why you don't power it off your laptop via PoE and instead invest the money in a big fat laptop battery? I guess if you have a small SoC you're running wireshark on (like my beautiful beautiful Raspberry PIneapple will) and you need the same battery to power both this would work great.

Haven't messed with the 2.4ghz range but we have weaved a similar antenna through a vest for comm's before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
