Why You Need a Dedicated Raspberry Pi Battery?

Standard power banks often fail to deliver the consistent voltage required by single-board computers, leading to sudden shutdowns or "under-voltage" warnings. SunFounder’s Raspberry Pi battery packs are engineered specifically for these devices. They feature on-board power management systems that provide a steady 5V output and often include battery protection circuits to prevent overcharging, ensuring the longevity of your Raspberry Pi 4 battery setup.

Types of Power Solutions We Offer

○ UPS HATs: An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) attaches directly to the GPIO, allowing your Pi to run while charging or switch to battery power seamlessly during a power outage.
○ Lithium Battery Shields: These stackable boards allow you to power your project using standard 18650 Li-ion batteries, perfect for building robot cars.
○ Portable Power Packs: Compact and lightweight modules designed to fit inside cases for handheld DIY projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

○ Can I use these battery packs with Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes, but please check the amperage output. The Raspberry Pi 5 requires a robust power source (typically 5V/5A for full performance), so look for our high-output battery packs for Raspberry Pi designed to handle newer boards.
○ Do the battery packs come with batteries?
Due to international shipping regulations on lithium batteries, some of our kits (like the 18650 shields) act as holders and management boards, requiring you to purchase the battery cells locally. Please refer to the "What's in the Box" section.
○ How long will my Raspberry Pi run on battery power?
Runtime depends on your battery capacity (mAh) and the workload. A typical 2000mAh Raspberry Pi battery setup might last 2-4 hours under moderate load, while larger packs can power a Pi for significantly longer.
