What's the power draw on this? How long could I run it on a battery bank via USB if I were somewhere without power (typically just use an iPhone app right now, but this seems a lot more appealing)? I've got a very large capacity power bank that I purchased from Massdrop a month ago that would seem up for the job.
mwilliamsWe have these at home and they're great for the newborn. For travel, we actually have the micro version that is about 1/3 the size of these and have a battery built in. They're around $30 elsewhere right now. Runs ~6hrs with the built in battery and is much louder than it looks for white noise. Also doubles as a bluetooth speaker so it's great for travel.
mwilliamsQuick answer: Very little power.
I plugged ours into a 30,000 mAh powerbank. Running all night it went from 100% to 98%.
I’ve determined that it won’t work on QuickCharge 3.0 ports. The draw is so low that the USB port will auto-shut off after a few minutes. But if I move the device to the regular 2.4 A port it will run all night uninterrupted. Hope this helps.
