The maximum size of battery that can be installed in a typical metal cases is 2500mAh, but 2100mAh would be a better fit. Based on testing the Portapack/HackRF consumes between 250mA (1.25W) when just menu screen is on and 550mA peak (2.75W) when audio is at full volume and receiving signals. -In the cases of charging from the USB, then the peak of 1.5 A is seen with the portapack in use though does drop as the charging takes place. The charge rate of the battery is a peak of about 1000mA dropping back to 600mA-700mA and takes between 3-4 hours to charge depending on battery size. +In the cases of charging from the USB, then the peak of 1.5 A is seen with the portapack in use though does drop as the charging takes place.
