Not very good. The unit can not provide sufficient power to power a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2 inch DSI display! This was a surprise as the images on the product page show a very similar set up but with a much larger screen (which presumably draws more power than the display I am using). Other reviews online have pointed this problem out so it's not an isolated incident. Delivery from the Pi Hut was good/quick but the product description should be clearer and the photo needs to be deleted. PS I tried the Lipo Amigo Pro first and had the same problem. Both units can not produce enough power for a Pi4 so don't waste your time/money. I can confirm however, that either unit will work for a Pi0 set up with display.

A simple to use but effective power supply and Lipo charger. Being used as a UPS to run an Arduino Due. Outputs a 5V supply to the Arduino when power is connected but then seamlessly swaps to the battery when the external power is removed so everything keeps going nicely. Went for this one over the 500 as it does the smart load sharing and my project will be in use for years for didn't want the battery cycled too much.

This is a great device for charging a battery whilst providing power to a device, am using it for a prototype and is doing the job well.

I haven't used this yet, but it looks to be exactly what I want. I appreciate the microsockets being loose since I'm probably going to solder its power in and out connections.

Another great little product from Adafruit. Really handy for Raspberry Pi projects needing a battery and charging solution.

Just get hold of a LiPo battery and plug it in. It gives out 1A which is great for powering a Pi Zero (though not a Pi 3 which has higher power requirements). It has a charging circuit built in which saves you getting a LiPo charger.
