Your assistance with the Razer Edge and External Battery Packs.

I have found several external battery packs that say they work with the Razer Edge, these are 10,000mah batteries that have Male DC out ports (Where you would connect a female DC port). These are the most common plugs that you see on routers, modems, laptops, keyboards, and toys; just to name a few of the top of my head. From the manual it looks like the the proprietary cable that connects to the edge/docking station connects to the power brick with the DC female connection.

I am lead to believe that I just unplug the brick and connect it to the external battery supply. Now the 10,000mah batteries provide power at adjusting volts and amps and provide up to 50wh. So the documentation does say that it can support the Razer Edge power requirements.. The 10,000mah works on an almost 1 to 1 ratio without getting into equations since the Razer Edge will operate at 41.44wh. So that should almost double the life of the edge.

I am aware that the extra battery inside the Gamepad also operates at 5400mah and is the same battery that is inside the Razer edge. But when you are gaming and your hoping to get 2 hours and 30 minutes with the battery pack it limits the portability. Obviously. Still more portable and all that, but I am not getting into that. I am figuring out battery issues.

Alright still with me? So I have found some external batteries that say they support the Razer Edge, you guys are going to explain the power brick connections for me. I have a Hyperjuice Plug that charges my Ipad to full 2 and a half times. More then triples the time I can use my Ipad. I know they make bigger external battery packs for the Macs also. The battery on the following link and the graph at the bottom are the whole point of this post.

HyperJuice 2 External Battery for MacBook/iPad/USB (100Wh)

I look specifically at the 15'' MacBook Pro 2013 Retina which it says it will offer you 14.4 hours of increased time. Now this Macbook has a similar setup with Intel Integrated Graphics and a dedicated Nvidia graphics card. This isn't remotely fair because of the Retina display and the 95wh that it uses instead of the 41.44wh that the Razer Edge uses. Looking at something similar like the 13'' MacBook Air 2013 with 54wh is more acceptable but it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card and it list it as 34.4 hours. Any time between 14.4 and 34.4 would be amazing.

As long as it has the appropriate connection on the power brick I will figure this out for myself. Because regardless; the 200wh, 47,000mah will be used by me on many and many an occasion. I just want to know if it is possible before I purchase it. Thank you for your advice and time.

 

I have one of the RAVPower 10400mAh, it works great with my iPad.

 

Understood,

Can you tell me about the Razer Edge Power Brick? I know external battery packs work. My use of my soon to get Razer Edge will be in 3-4 hour incriminates, so I would be interested in the information.

Originaly I was going to just purchase several official external batteries. As they add a one hour pop each, I was going to purchase 3 of them. But a single powerful external battery pack that has USB outs can be used to charge EVERYTHING else I travel with also.

 

Can any owner please just describe the power cord? Do both ends plug into the power brick? If not, I'll have to splice it.

 

The power brick plugs into one of these cables:
