jdogherman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Ok I ran MKIV with a 16GB SanDisk Fit on a 5000mAh Battery with wireless and karma on and it after 24 hours straight I still have over 25% left in the battery. The battery I used was... monoprice 5000mAh Edited June 21, 2012 by jdogherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotof Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I purchased the 16000mAh version of this : Battery It lasts forever powering MK4 + usb hub + alfa + fon 2100 abc + usb 3G, on this config it lasts 3 days of 10 hours a day powered up.

jdogherman Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Must be large. The nice thing about the monoprice one is it is almost the same size as the pineapple. Offers 2 USB ports (one 1A and one 2.1A). It can charge and feed power to USB ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Oh when I bought it it was on sale for 20 bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotof Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The one i have is about one and a quarter the size of the pineapple and it is very light for its capacity! but yours is nice and cheap and gets the job done too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ill have to keep that model in mind when I grow out of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having problems and tested on two mark4s with 3 hubs:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inTheDMZ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 does the hakshop one not Power it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having problems and tested on two mark4s with 3 hubs:( It's a Belkin 4port powered with USB from the I.sound battery , as I cut the power adapter for it and connected to a USB cable , the model number is : f5u404-wht-tg and got it from target. Good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineDominator Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 does the hakshop one not Power it all? still no confirmation from hak shop but the two I received a while back don't work unless I plug it in after about one minute after powering the pineapple, plus another one I had did the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condor Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 still no confirmation from hak shop but the two I received a while back don't work unless I plug it in after about one minute after powering the pineapple, plus another one I had did the same thank you so much for this petertfm. I need it to handle the 3G too. I haven't yet purchased a battery for this nifty thing. I have 2 of 'em and it's been a blast just using my laptops battery. I can't wait for some covert drops....

jdogherman Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I wonder if the model is important but rather giving it external power. Maybe the pineapple usb has too little amps pumping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineDominator Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I wonder if the model is important but rather giving it external power. Maybe the pineapple usb has too little amps pumping out. I have tried both with supplying extra power and just what the pineapple produces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotof Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have tried both with supplying extra power and just what the pineapple produces. I noticed something when i started testing this hub and in general any hub will lock the state of the usb devices connected to it, so what i mean is when you provide external power to the usb separate from the pineapple, the device initialize only once so when you reboot the pineapple the device does not reinitialize again and then you get a problem, which is the pineapple does not see or able to communicate with the usb device. So in short power off all and power on all at the same time, try it and let me know please :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have connected to produce this lockup after 30 seconds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineDominator Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 What do you have connected to produce this lockup after 30 seconds ? no what happens is it locks up after powering the pineapple, right from the start, regardless if I power the hub, what makes it work is plugging in the usb cable into the pineapple after all the lights have turned on about 1 minute tried with just the thumb drive and just the NHA, same results.

Well looks like you have a bad bad bad usb hub, as i have my pineapple running fine with power up and on going for 8 hours without a reboot, also rebooting the states of the devices connected are normal and no lock ups, also there seems to be a sweet spot so try one at a time in a different port on the hub that makes it last longer without a lockup.
