This is a question for all you photographers out there.
Has anyone found a way to use their Magsafe equipped Hyper Juice batteries with the new 15 inch MBP. I am using the 150 WH sized batteries.
I know that Hyper juice have a USB C setup for the 29W USB C only macbook, but I don´t think this will cut it for the more power hungry (87W) 15 inch MBP- especially when driven hard on a photo shoot.
Remember that power will need to be delivered from the DC out socket on the battery, using the cable with a MagSafe connector on one end. Simply running a USB A to USB C cable between the battery and computer will not deliver enough power.
A Magsafe to USB C adapter is what we need. Like this one below which is on Kickstarter-Snapnator.com.
This looks like it should do the job, but will not be available until January according to the website.
I assume/hope the makers of the Hyper juice battery will develop a good solution soon, and I dearly hope I won´t need to replace the 3 batteries I already own.
But in the meantime, the new MBP will be arriving next week and I would like to put it to work on location immediately, assuming I can keep it powered all day.
Any ideas?
Thanks, (and yes, I am also excited to play with my new max spec machine when it arrives soon)
All the best.
