It's perfect for use with all flavours of Raspberry Pi as it can provide a nice \u003cstrong\u003estable 5V 3A\u003c\/strong\u003e with no voltage drop, noise or other power related drama, even when the battery is nearly empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB-C port supports \u003cstrong\u003ePD (Power Delivery)\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the USB-A port supports \u003cstrong\u003eQC3.0\u003c\/strong\u003e so they are both capable of charging your devices quickly. The USB-C port is also used to charge the battery and PD means it can do that fast - a full charge only takes 1.5 hours if plugged into a charger that can provide 9V 2A. It comes with a \u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C to USB-A cable\u003c\/strong\u003e for charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've been searching for a good USB power bank to stock for a while and we've tried out quite a few! We always give anything LiPo related a thorough checking over and when we did a teardown of this one we were really impressed at the build quality. The shell is really sturdy, the LiPo cell is fixed in place securely and well protected on the inside and the safety features are all up to spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the battery we use with \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/trilobot\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTrilobot\u003c\/a\u003e, but it would also work well with a \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/my-naturewatch-standard-camera\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMyNaturewatch\u003c\/a\u003e wildlife camera, or to power a string of LEDs in a portable \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/plasma-2040\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlasma 2040\u003c\/a\u003e project.

However, if you \u003cstrong\u003ehold down the button until the lights come on one by one\u003c\/strong\u003e this will make the power stay on, even if the current draw is low. Note that it does seem to automatically exit this mode after a few hours, so it might not be useful if you need to keep your low-current device powered for extended periods. You can also exit this mode by plugging the power pack in to charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39701956558931,"sku":"UBP0119A","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/powerbank-08.jpg?v=1645457564","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/nanowave-3-5000mah-usb-c-a-power-bank","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
