battery psu for pi 5
November 6, 2023, 22:50
hi im looking for a portable psu/ups that will work with a new pi 5 (5.1v at 3A). needs to be small as it will be put on a robot. i was hoping for charge through power.
this is not my area but I think you can get 2 of these types of batteries https://thepihut.com/products/1200mah-3-7v-lipo-battery and something to convert it to usb c, which also link in a second
I think this will do https://thepihut.com/products/lipo-amigo-lipo-liion-battery-charger
and if you wanted more battery life these would also work https://thepihut.com/products/2000mah-3-7v-lipo-battery although I can't figure out the battery life right now as im a bit new to batteries and it doesn't include the units I know about, but later someone else will probably come online to figure that out for you, I'm just here for ideas ig
hmm, i might use one of those battteries actually
you can't use one, it doesn't supply enough power. you could use two of the smaller batteries if you like
you might have to find a regulator tho
I have one UPS board with two Batteries and 72Whr in Total
It’s a red board called Rpi UPS 3.0 or something
And you pay for the board and one 37whr battery about 40 Euros
are you talking about pijuice?
i have a pijuice board but im using the battery that's supplied
what batteries are you using?

I am using this for months and it works great
thank you, im going to use my existing psu with a larger battery or two
No Problem
something like this looks really good for running a pi on a battery. 10W/2A output on the 5V.. built in charger/BMS that'll charge, prevent overcharge/discharge.
You may want to find a way to measure voltage on the gpio pins and have the pi report the battery percentage based off of it. I'm sure there's a guide/software for that somewhere.
Just sharing info
ok
they are selling them in australia
core electronics has some 8gb models
