G+_Timothy Roche Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Has anybody got any ideas for a simple reliable battery backup (5000 mAh approx.) for the Raspberry Pi. It needs to switch automatically. I was looking at some portable phone chargers but they do not charge themselves while charging the device.

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've been looking for something like this myself. Currently the only way I've figured out to do it is with a custom circuit that will take care of changing sources when the wall power goes away.

G+_Jason Perry Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 There is a KH episode about this. Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Used a US battery to run one. I think the episode dealt with running a Pi on solar but the principal is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
