Any recommendations for Pi 5 battery power?

Has anyone here done any experiments yet to see what works? I'll get a pi 5 in the mail in the next week, hopefully, and will be trying a couple setups to see what gives voltage warnings and whatnot...

  • Amp Ripper 4k and 1s pack
  • 4s pack with separate charger and buck converter for the pi.

The buck converter route might work better on the pi5 than previous boards because of it's built in power on/off/suspend controls.

Abuse in blood donation call centers (short rant)
  • I used to donate blood, but they got really aggressive calling me and I called it quits. It's weird. This shouldn't be an aggressive for profit operation...

    How do you carry your phone, wallet, and keys?
  • I'm usually wearing cargo shorts, so evening stays in the pockets. I don't care for wearing a backpack if I can avoid it. A saddlebag is nice if I have to pack a laptop.

    What's everyone working on? I'm excited about the increasing availability of raspberry pis. And it'd be cool to see more folks posting here!
