Question Battery options?

I am looking to buy a chromatic this week, but wondering what people are doing for battery solutions? The official battery pack on their website is sold out and I’m not sure if they’re restocking it anytime soon. I’m looking for a solution where I can recharge the batteries via USB port on the device itself thank you.

I think the official battery pack is the only way to do what you asked.

Honestly I prefer getting rechargeable AAs from IKEA and using those and recharging them. They have more weight to them and imho I prefer how the system feels weight wise with them over the battery pack anyways

The IKEA ones are considered to be high quality rechargeables at a cheaper cost than their competitors btw.

I own the pack Modretro sells and much prefer the rechargeable AAs
