Question: Best portable power source for miner and attached pump

Hello, i am wondering what if the most efficient portable power source for a miner and attached pump, ive already mined around my house and dont want to stretch my cable out into oblivion lol, i am using a Diamond drill and OV Scanner incase you are wondering

Your best option is to bring 8 batteries, and a 2 batboxs. attach the batboxs to the miner and pump, and fill em up. Once it's done mining, just use a wrench and move.
Now I don't recall just how much energy a miner needs to get to bedrock, but 2 batbox's worth of EU (80,000) should do the trick.

Ill give that a go, thanks

I went ahead with this, 1 MFE, 1 Glass Fibre Cable, 2 Copper, a LV Transformer and a Energy Crytal filled 6 times. My miner does about 500 actions per expedition at about 1200 EUs per action. 500 x 1200 = 600000, or a full MFE. Tell me what you think

Thanks, and i guess if youre really felling rich, you could replace the MFE with a MFSU, and the glass fibre cable with a MV Transformer, therefore, the MFSU feeds into the MVTF which feeds into the LVTF which feeds the miner and pump, seeing as then you could use a lapotron crystal and just have 1 trip with 1 mil EU instead of 6 crystals or 6 trips with 1 crystal.

Just so you know, you don't need any cable in between. Just stack transformer and MFE directly on top of the miner

How will you give the pump energy then?

Well, then you can use a single piece of cable like

True, that is a thought
