Powers up my cubepi lovely. Single press of the button starts the pi - screen stays dark for a worrying time but all good. Double press after shutdown switches the power off - perfect.

Not a fan I'm afraid. It is possible that I'm using it wrong?? But every time I insert or remove the power cable, the Pi reboots. Also, the reset button didn't seem to do anything and I was hoping to be able to turn the Pi off as with the battery on, it's just powered on, whether you want it to be or not. For the record, I had this on as a stacked HAT along with a GPS one, so it is possible I was misusing it, in which case apologies for the poor review :)

Not cheap but worth the money in my view, we have it on a 3b+ with explorer phat sat on top controlling an staff-pi buggy. A lovely neat application.

i freaking love this thing! currently i can't recall how long it can power my pi 0 w in active use (i tested it with a power-hungry micro screen, so my results weren't accurate for this review) but this on its own can also function as a portable charger, and since it's listed as an awesome extra for the "Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS HAT For Raspberry Pi Zero WH", i believe this is the battery it's referring to in the description. once i get the power supply hat and the li-ion battery hat, i'll see how much time i can get on it. bonus: with *three* batteries equipped (one of them being hot-swap-able), the pi 0 w (and maybe the others, too!) should be able to run far longer than listed.

Bought this to power a portable project consisting of a Pi 3A+, a 2.8" touch screen and an SDR plugged in to the USB port. I wasn't certain that this would power all three, at least without the dreaded low voltage warning but it does - no problem. Brilliant solution for a portable project - battery power and usb recharging all sorted very neatly. The gpio pins are brought through the board so another HAT can go above the battery board, in my case the screen. Highly recommended. Fantastic service from Pi Hut as always.
