Has anyone used a portable battery pack with these? What ones would work best? I want to use these outside

Paul Buff "Vagabond" regular or mini works well.. U don't need a large power supply.

They are not made to accept battery's. You would have to use an external battery pack with an equal amp rating as the power supply output.

Unfortunately, I have not had reason to buy others. I have been using the same ones for almost 2 years!!! I just recharge them. I know I should buy a spare set, but haven't had need to so far! Hope this helps.

Thanks Joni! I agree - I just got the B&D; outdoor kit friday and its batteries worked well with my 18v Firestorm tools. However, I killed my older Firestorm batteries: I used the new blower to run the older batteries down (they worked well in the outdoor tools, btw), thinking that a complete discharge and recharge would be good for them. Wrong. They wont charge at all now. Apparently I pushed them past the limit.

You can easily use them outdoors by powering them off a car battery with a solar cell to charge it. The tricky thing about these is they come with wire connections, so you will have to solder or crimp on wires, or put on connectors to use them.

Yes, but you will need to battery pack on top with something like nylon ties. I have been using them outside for a couple of years and they seem to be fairly robust. Of course mine are not moving...

Yes, but mine didn't work. Returned them. Battery pack is a better investment.

My experience is that they do not last "a year", but it's only 4 AAs. My rechargeable ones don't seem to last as long. If battery life is a concern, why not just plug it in?

Mine work fine. Since the battery pack is long, they have to be the only thing plugged into the outlet. Hope this helps.

I use batteries, we have used with energizer bunny batteries and have had it on several hours each day for 5 days, while working in the yard. I only connect using my ipod or iphone. Works great.

You'll need to find a 12v battery pack. Most portable cell phone battery recharging packs are 5v. Call audible rush - they'll have some ideas. You might be able to use one of these https://www.powertraveller.com/en/shop/portable-chargers/outdoor-adventure/powermonkey-extreme-12v/ to get a charge while on the go. Another possibility is to mount a 12v bottle dynamo (most are 6v but there is a 12v on the market) and power the rush this way.

We use rechargeable AAA batteries with no problems. Makes sense to us because regular batteries won't last very long and will be expensive for you. We've had our set for almost a year and "knock on wood" they work just fine with the rechargeables.

Don't do it. U could charge the 5000mah pack to much and trying to get bigger one charged. Can u say BOOM always put them in a lipo bag!!:)

No, they do not come with battery packs. They plug into your power outlet in the car and that's how they work. They've been great. We still have them going on two years now !

Use rechargable batteries which are 2000ohms of power or more. They will last much longer and are worth the money.
