So as pressure builds as you go down from all the rock above, won’t the hole made just collapse?

I own a Powercore Fusion and the power cuts out for about a second when you unplug from the wall. So the question is can a Raspberry Pi tolerate that?

The Anker Powercore Fusion code does not work. It work (thanks) then stopped working.

I doubt its exactly that, I think its a 110V AC to 3.7V DC duck converter and a 110V to 5V 10.5W capable of only so much Wattage in the small size and a boost converter 3.7v to 5v capable of 15W. I doubt in $26 they have a custom ASIC to merge all of this into a single power budget.

I use an old broken laptop with just enough life in its battery for hosting running software. I have a Pi for downloading which then moves files to the laptop. The laptop is on the surge protected side of the UPS and the Pi on the battery-packed side of the UPS.

I doubt the electronics of a $26 device will provide a blip-free 5V 2A+ as it switches from mains power to backup power. So you have a duck converter down-volting from 110V to 5V when on mains and a boost converter up-volting from 3.7V to 5V.

I doubt, I mean you’d have to test it, that is a sufficiently fast switch…

I doubt its seamless. I doubt the withdrawal of mains power will cause instant switching to battery with no voltage drop.

I got a 26800 mah which is just under 100Wh which is the largest you can carry on a flight.

The limitation of this idea is the weight makes it tend to want to fall out of worn sockets. If you make the pins on the flatter side it makes it harder to place, if you place as they have done on the narrow side it makes it easier to fall out the socket. You probably can only go so far with this idea. It weighs…
