[TriEmbed] Backup Power for Raspberry Pi 2

[Dwight Morgan]

Well, I bought a phone charger from Amazon for less than $20.00. It only has 2000 mAh but I’m hoping it will work okay to ride through blips. I dug out an old iPhone charger by iLive given to me as a Christmas gift about 2 years ago, charged it as much as it would (about 50% due to sitting idle) and it was able to boot up my old Pi with monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I’m hoping the one I bought will do the job as a backup power supply. It’s at the link below:

Thanks All!

Can the pi2 be powered via usb? (Reminds me I need to unbox my pi2). What about one of those lipo emergency phone chargers? I've run the pi1b+ off a 10000 mAh one just fine.

Hi All:

 

I need a backup power supply for my Raspberry Pi 2. I don’t think I need something as large as those made for PCs. I think one more in line with that D cell powered one in my alarm clock or a little larger would work fine. 

 

Anybody know how to make one or if there is one out there already? Feedback appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

Dwight
