They must have an artisan Siberian shaman hand-carving each unit individually out of unobtanium using nothing but his fingernails.

Be patient, guys. This is a battery we’re talking about here, not some old technology that has been around for over 200 years.

Negativity and cynicism in this thread, why even bother posting?
If this turns out to be the case, it invites the question: ‘Why not just build a battery compartment into the unit itself?’ But I’m not sure how much free space is in there - has anyone opened one up yet?
Then why bother posting negativity about… negativity? Aha!
Seems like, when we’ve paid a premium for a device, we might be allowed a little joke or grumble in a couple of comments on a small message board

Ah, so that’s the problem with the battery pack. They have the negative terminals sorted, but the positive ones are giving them trouble. The delay makes sense now.

It wouldn’t be impossible to design a custom, 3d printed (for example) solution. The voltage/polarity for the side input is specified in the manual…

I power to usb cable where the power connector is at a 90 degree angle. I stash the battery in the deck saver under the box.
October - eight months since the thread started - and no battery (or battery compartment tube thing or whatever it is) 
i prefer an update

MyVolts, USB powerbank, and some DuoLock will get you further for less (or about the same). 
I’ve got my Zoia and Digitskt going that way and I haven’t looked back. It’s awesome!

What is duolock?
I believe they’re referring to adhesive hook and loop (i.e. velcro). Cut to length and stick your battery pack onto the side of your gear.

It’s like Velcro but better, in some ways. Made by 3M. I’ve been pleased with it.

Cool, thanks.
After you affix it you can peel it off, with no residue, and position it (but s couple of times only). The grip is also pretty serious. I’ve used DuoLock instead of rack screws in a case to stabilize my DigiTakt and it feels solid. It also doesn’t make a loud rippy sound when you take things on and off.

Totally agree. After I got a MyVolts cord, battery isn’t a feature I need in the box anymore. RipCord just handles it.

Could you post the link to the one you got? We have so much of the same gear it seems it’d be Nice to grab one!

It’s getting a bit annoying now. Is it going to be over a year until the batteries released? I know I should’ve known better but I bought the model thinking it’d be portable not too long after release
