Battery + charger to get 2A output
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:13 am
Hi guys. I've been working in a project gameboy pi like. In this case, I'm using a rasbperry pi 3 and a massive 7" touch screen powered via one single micro USB connected to the pi.
In the past I built the gameboy pi zero, but I'm finding some obvious problems with this new project.
I tried using the same battery and charger as before. This is the battery:

and as a charger I am using the arduino powerboost 1000.
This combination only allows a 1A output, which is not enough (the undervoltage symbol does not go away no matter what, and in some extreme situations, the rasbperry pi resets). I tried plugging the whole thing to a 2A charger and it works like a charm.
I need a battery and a charger which allows me to get those 2A, but I have no clue about where to begin searching, I'm pretty n00b at this. Any recommendations?
Thanks!
