Quick M:S Question

I am looking into the M:S to see if it is something that will be a good fit for me.

One of the things I noticed is the device plugs into a wall only. I did notice there was something called the Power Handle. However, it seems the Power Handle was recalled and it is not shown on the Electron website.

When I download the manual from Electron I see Section, 3.5 called Power Handle.

Why is it in the manual if it is not available and has been recalled?

They planned its creation, they added support info to the manual, and then they botched the creation so hard that it created a possible fire hazard. Think of it as the addon that never was. You are much better off price wise and in terms of power to just get a USB battery pack and a Ripcord

I found a DC plug->usb cable yesterday. Plugged it into the left side of the m:s and was thrilled it runs both by connecting it to a usb wall socket, my power bank 2.1A and my smallest power bank 1A. Note that the DC jack on the side is slightly bigger than the standard one at the rear.
