Title: Battery Powered O-Pi? Been Down This Road B4...
Post by Fernando on Jun 20^th, 2017, 11:01pm

This person claims that one can not run a O-Pi system without modifying the charger board inside the battery to release more power at once. They claim that by changing a capacitor on the would fix it the battery to make it work.

I never had a problem with Power Bank Batteries powering a Pi system other than running time. In most systems, due to their power demands as a stand alone system, an hour is the norm with a 2600mah PowerBank Battery. Single Core, low running MHz/GHz clocks seem to do better than Dual Core and Quad Core Systems.

We've all seen my posts of running Pie system on a Power Bank Battery. It litters this forum branch! LOL! So here's their article.

Hmm... sounds like they have other issues. Interesting though, but not sure how changing the cap increases batter discharge... will hafta review it again when I'm not half asleep

hmm, yeah, he had transformer issues. that reading was not right for what should have been put out. It had a bad filter or no filter from the looks of it.
