General discussion • Re: Light weight portable Pi with screen

The biggest issue with Lithium Ion/Lithium Polymer (LiPo) "powerbanks" is finding ones with a high enough current output

I found some that would run the USB 15" screen by itself, reducing the load on the Pi. Unfortunately a lot of the power cells do not charge and power at the same time, which means a quick top up from mains power cannot happen while the screen is in use.

For the power usage, I do not know the power required and do not have a meter with the right amperage range. Will have to borrow a meter or use maximum power for calculations or find someone with the same setup.

Pi 500 does not allow NVMe SSD on board, one of the things I like to demo.

I have fast microSD card for demos not showing SSD.
