General discussion • Re: Battery for the raspberry pi 5

You can get 10Ah power banks (USB)
You can get 30Ah powerbanks. I have one. 28Ah, or thereabouts, are fairly common as they just fit within the TSA limit of 100Wh for taking on planes.
I'm always sceptical of these, find some tests on them, also they'll need USB-C output. Hopefully you'll get 3A out if it, probably all you really need. At best you find one that can do 5A and somehow not get restricted to 3A due to negotiation.
I have yet to see a powerbank with an output rated above 3A. To be fair, I haven't been specifically looking. If someone finds one, I'd be interested to know about it.
There are the 5V/4A 4.5V/5A ones as used by Huawei. But I doubt they would trigger to allow the 4A even with the Pi override.

Oh I know you can get larger, but it's only 2 hours needed and they're 'small'.
