PiSugar 3 Plus Portable 5000 mAh UPS Lithium Battery Power Module Platform for Every Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B Model Accessories handhold(Not Include Raspberry Pi)

There are two things about this products that stand out. Its functionality right out of the box and the size. If you have used other Raspberry Pi HATs then you will know that those products are placed on top of a Pi on the GPIO pins. While it helps keep things portable, the thing to keep in mind is that the lowest those products can sit is on top of the Ethernet and USB ports. The fact that this products sits underneath the Pi with a few pins that make contact with some of the GPIO pins underneath the Raspberry Pi is a gamechanger. Another thing with this product is that the holes for where the screws go through when mounting to a Pi are threaded. This is great to see because a majority of HATs and Pi attachments do not have built in threads for the Pi to be screwed into but instead require a nut as well. It is small details like these that help keep the device to as small of a form factor as possible.A concern I had with using this product was that due to the other functions that this products offers for I2C communication, I was concerned that it could interfere with using a display that I have attached to the GPIO pins of my Pi. This was not the case and it all worked perfectly.I will say that I have not worked on getting the I2C communication running with my Pi so I cannot confirm the quality of those features.Even with that being said, I would still recommend this product for users looking to power their Pi that have a priority in portability, reliability, and overall size

Works great and holds a charge for a long time even when not in use. I like the indication lights and size compared to previous models. Two of the previous models my battery gave out within a year. Great buy compared to other types of battery supplies. Only drawback is the way the battery is attached and wrapped in a rush. It attaches with basic ahesive and a magnet. Adhesive comes off very easily.Hopefully future models have a better quality battery thats more uniform in shape in wrap.

Everything is solid from my use. The installation was dead simple, instructions are detailed and covered ALL my edge cases (such as not having raspi-config). I was impressed. The physical quality is good and the software is too. Also the last thing that is really thoughtful is the 3d prints files for a compatible case on their GitHub. They’re a great company.

Works great on raspberry pi 5.Some advice is if your using the pi active cooler, the pins will be in the way. Remove them and flip them over so the flat is on the bottom. Then you can have the space.Also use a file or knife to clean the pi soldered pins. Most cases this is your problem if you can’t get battery life with i2c is pins are dirty or not making contact.Definitely unplug the battery power cable before installation or you risk short circuiting and frying your pi.Take your time and install it right.

This thing is awesome! No false advertisement here, does all that it claims to! I wish you could connect a bigger battery for longer life.Currently I have connected this to my raspberry pi 4 and use it to take time lapse photos around the house, then compile the photos to a video using ffmpeg.I’d give it 5 out of 5 if this had a larger capacity battery.

nice to have a little extra juice on the go, easy install

easy setup . easy to charge while powering Pi. Very nice package.

Make sure to unplug the battery before attempting to attach a Pi to this, as it will turn the system on immediately, and fry your Pi if the pogo pins jiggle around as you screw it down.Otherwise, it seems like a great UPS (and should be for the insane amount of money it costs), but I'm pissed at it for the time being, as it killed a brand new Pi, with that janky pogo pins/power issue, so knocked a star.
