running MP10QD without power supply bar

[canadianeh]

I was able to secure an MP10 and the only thing that is missing is the power supply bar.



I am currently running a Ecotech battery back up with another MP10.



My question is with the absent of the power supply bar for the newly acquired MP10, am I just able to hook it up on the battery back up and run it? The battery back up is plug in to the wall full time. will I be using the battery back up itself even though the batt back up is plug in to the wall? Is this bad for the battery back up life span?



I rather not to spend $$ to buy power supply bar, if my plan is a good idea.



any thoughts?

A new power supply is only like $20. I'm not for sure but I'd say you need it

A new one would only cost $50 bucks. Maybe even less on Ebay. That battery back-up might not be designed to run full time on a constant charge.

I'd recommend also asking in the Ecotech vendor forum below on the main page.

in Canada the Vortech power supply bar is $70 CAD lots of money

I am wondering if I can buy non brand power supply bar and use it. Will it effect the powerhead?
