battery pack issue

[levisiccard]

Hmm, My pineapple (alfa AP121) starts up perfectly with the adapter and is working fine. I'm using the latest firmware.

I recently bought a verbatim battery pack (Dual USB power pack packs with 10,000mAh battery inside)

Works fine for my Iphone and Ipad so I know the battery pack is working fine.

When I try to start the pineapple up with it it looks like its going for a startup, the leds start blinging, then the wps button starts blinging (like the normal startup with the adapter)

but then it doesn't start up and it looks like its trying to restart over and over again..

Anyone has any idea what the problem could be.

You need 9v/12v power, not USB power to use the pineapple.

Any idea what battery pack is working then and where I could buy such one. The one from the hak5 shop isn't available anymore...

The Anker A3 is a good choice.

The Anker 3 (NOT the 3E) is what I believe fox was indicating. The 3E was a 10000mAh, but only had dual .5V outputs, no adjustable voltage.

Anker appears to have rebranded their "3" as the "Anker Pro" now. Amazon has it, and it's all the same specs as the "3" used to be.

Here's a link:

I can tell you first hand that these ARE the one you want. I've purchased 3 of 'em now, they work amazing with the MIV. The 9/12v cable that comes with the battery doesn't even need any of the attachment ends...connect one to the battery, one to the fruit, select 9v (or 12v), and you're up and running, complete with usb drive, hub, and external Alfa...for a very long time.

Correct hfam.

Anker is an amazing brand, make sure you get the Astro 3 or 'Anker Pro' as it now seems to be called. Not the 3E.
