I'd wanted to use this a backup failsafe. When my main power source runs out of juice the Pi could still go on. I soldered this board on top of my Pi, plugged in a charged battery, then the USB power cable. After an hour my battery was drained for no reason. A switch to only drain the battery when it's needed and a charging circuit would be welcomed.

To continue my previous review: I'd also like to share my ideas on what improvements could be made. Maybe something like this could work: http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s494/olibali/LiPo_zpspih6opsh.png

I put it all together. And that was simple. And my zero w run longer then expected on a small lipo battery. I expected 15 minutes but got more then a hour from that battery.
