Rechargeable or Fixed? Find the Right LEKATO Power Supply for You

The LEKATO PS-01R is a standout in the brand’s lineup because it’s not just an isolated multi-output pedal power supply — it also incorporates a built-in rechargeable battery, making it especially useful for mobile or gigging setups.

Key features

  • Built-in 3.7 V/10,000 mAh lithium-polymer battery (charging time around 6.5 h) — gives you freedom from constant mains power. 

  • Ten isolated DC outputs: eight outputs rated DC 9 V/100 mA and two outputs rated DC 9 V/300 mA. 

  • USB output (5 V/1 A) — handy for emergency charging of a phone or other small device. 

  • Type-C charging input supporting 5 V/2 A; automatically stops charging when full. 

  • Each output is isolated and has its own short-circuit / over-current protection, so a fault on one output doesn’t knock out the others. 

  • Low-noise performance, thanks to an internal noise filter and aluminium-alloy shell for heat dissipation. 

  • Built-in LED indicators: one red main power indicator, four green battery indicators, and blue output indicators (one per port) — helpful for diagnosing faults. 

Why this matters

For players on the move — rehearsal rooms, gigs where power outlets might be limited, or setups where you prefer the cleanest power possible — the PS-01R offers a strong mix of portability + isolation. The rechargeable battery means you’re less tethered to a wall outlet, while the isolated outputs address typical noise/ground-loop issues common in pedalboards.


The MPP-10 and CP-206: other strong choices

While PS-01R stands out for its portability and built-in battery, the LEKATO MPP-10 and CP-206 cater to more “traditional” pedalboard power-supply needs (i.e., mains powered, lots of isolated outputs).

MPP-10 — True isolated, flexible output

  • The MPP-10 offers 10 isolated ports and includes short-circuit protection. 

  • It features a USB port as well. 

  • From Amazon listing: of ten ports, two are adjustable for 9/12/18 V (500 mA), one is 9V/500 mA, seven are 9V/300 mA. 

  • Heavy-duty aluminium alloy housing with per-output LED indicators. 

CP-206 — Larger output count, full versatility

  • The CP-206 features 12 isolated outputs. According to one listing: 9 V/100 mA ×6, 9 V/300 mA ×2, 9 V/500 mA ×2, 12 V/300 mA ×1, 18 V/300 mA ×1. 

  • It is marketed as quietly powering pedalboards with “true isolated” output (i.e., each channel isolated). 

  • Compact and board-mountable design (“space efficient … can be mounted on the bottom side of your pedal board; weighs 1.6 lb”).

Recommendation – Which to pick?

  • If you gig frequently, move around, or want the flexibility of battery-powered freedom (no need to hunt for outlets), go with PS-01R.

  • If you have a solid pedalboard setup, mostly mains-powered, but want versatility (including some pedals needing 12/18 V) and clean power: CP-206 gives the most ports and flex.

  • If you have a mid-sized pedalboard and want a good all-round choice with isolation + USB and decent current ports: MPP-10 is a strong pick.


Conclusion

LEKATO offers three compelling power-supply options for pedalboard users — from the ultra-portable PS-01R through the flexible MPP-10 to the high-port-count CP-206. Choosing the “right” one depends on how many pedals you have, how power-hungry they are, whether you need higher voltages (12 V/18 V), how mobile your rig is, and whether battery freedom matters.

Regardless of model, the fact that they're isolated outputs (rather than a simple daisy-chain) means you’re getting cleaner power, fewer noise issues, and better overall performance for your effects chain.
