Wiim Mini with Powerbank?

[PeterMüller]

Hello everyone,

Quick question. I am using a Wiim Mini with the new JBL 120 Clubs
Unfortunately, the USB port there no longer supplies power when switched off, so the Wiim Mini always switches off. Is it possible to connect a power bank to the Wiim?
If so, which one, for example?
And if so, approximately how long would the Wiim stay on with a power bank charge?

Thank you all.

It will work. How long depends on which powerbank you buy.

Many powerbanks won't charge & provide power at the same time. This wouldnt help you.
I have a cheap power bank from Aldi in the UK which works like a UPS and would do what you want. Unfortunately all I can tell you is that it was 'made in China for Juice'
If you live in a part of the world where you can return things easily just buy one & return it if it doesn't suit.
Be aware that powerbanks are quite noisey. Mine is fine with a Wiim. Total pants with Phono pre amp!
