subject: Pi USB Batter UPS Setups

   Hello everybody!

There was some discussion on setting up various USB batteries for a sort of
PiUPS...

I'd like to get some feedback on the devices that users have found to WORK in
the  role of PiUPS. Got a setup that needs to have this, and using even el
cheapo APC AC UPS salavaged from places and Ebay and putting $40 batteries in
them seems out of line.

Looked at the Amazon Basics 16.1AH USB battery but it cuts off the power ports
when you charge. Some one there was looking to do exactly what I want, and
foudn out its useless.

Any one have known working devices, with *US* purchasing options.

Ideally it would have a setup like the Amazon units 2 USB port for power, a
microUSB for charging...plug Pi into one port, charger into uUSB port, and not
worry about the stray power glitches... it doesn't even really have to run that
 long, 5-10 minutes till gen set auto starts.

In my current time frame, plug and play is needed. I don't really have time to
build something.

Thanks.



Rick
