Pisugar2 Portable Pwnagotchi Module for Raspberry Pi-Zero W/WH Model Accessories handhold(Not Include Raspberry Pi)

This product works fantastic easy to install easy to configure long lasting battery. Make sure items portable and easy to carry. Highly recommended works great unnecessary product for any pi enthusiast

This was super easy to install, but be aware that Raspberry Pi Zero models with pre-soldered headers might not make full contact with the pins. In my case, I had to add a bit of extra solder and slightly round the ends on the Zero board to ensure a good connection. Once adjusted, everything worked perfectly.

I put this battery in my Blendtec to try to get a good amount of lithium to take because it’s not legal in my country, but it just caught fire. So I don’t even know what to do now, because now I’m out both of battery, and the lithium, and a blender! Totally unreasonable. Before I destroyed the battery by accident, I did happen to use it, and it was excellent. It had the amperage as advertised and was the correct size, and was really convenient to use.

The Pisugar2 Portable 1200mAh UPS Lithium Battery Power Module is a must-have for anyone running a Raspberry Pi or Pwnagotchi. This compact power module offers a seamless solution to keep your projects running smoothly, even without a wall outlet. It provides reliable, uninterrupted power, ensuring your Pwnagotchi stays on the move without worrying about battery life. The 1200mAh capacity offers enough juice for hours of continuous operation, and it’s quick to charge, so you’re always ready to go. It’s easy to install and integrates perfectly with the Raspberry Pi, making it a great addition for mobile projects. The portability and convenience of this power module make it an essential tool for any Raspberry Pi or Pwnagotchi enthusiast who wants to stay powered up on the go.

The price-quality ratio was great.

This product is disappointing in the extreme. I used it to power several Raspberry Pi 0 and 02W devices with varying degrees of computational demand, but the battery life is awful. Even for a headless Pi 0 running minimal services, a fully charged PiSugar2 provided less than 90 minutes of battery life. The form factor is also extremely frustrating. The battery is just a shade too large to allow for mounting anything underneath with standoffs/screws, and it will require a custom printed case to be both protected and usable.

Not much to complain about. The hardware is well done for the most part and the software isn't too complex to work with; although it did require some digging to find a version of the management software that worked with my raspbian version. The only complaint I have is that is has shelf load. Even when not connected to a pi, or anything, and powered off, it discharges in something like a week. It has a real-time-clock battery, so I don't understand what could be drawing this much power. Frankly, if it didn't have a dedicated battery for the real-time-clock, I don't understand what could be drawing that much power. Just a rough back of the napkin calculation if it is draining in 1 week at idle, is 1200mAh / 168h = 7.14mA draw while idle. I hate to take 2 stars for that, but it's significant for a device that lives on a shelf primarily and comes down occasionally to do a job. It means I either have to keep it plugged up to a charger and wear the battery out, or I need to anticipate needing it in time to charge it up. I'm also worried about how deeply it is discharging (I'll try to remember to check voltage next time it's "dead," and update this.

A bit hard to reach the switches and I wish it had USB-C connector and a connector connection to the board instead of direct-solder, but works just fine. I may add a proper connector and replace the battery itself, but it functions great as a mini UPS!
