Hello all,
I was trying to power my RPi Zero from a LiPo battery using this module (http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-5V-Step-Up-M ... 2278069095 and I have a problem. After I plug it in, the Pi starts booting, but after few seconds it shuts down. Can anyone please help me solve this problem? Thanks

Let the battery fully charge maybe? Double check your soldering too. Any pictures?

The battery is charged to 3.8 V, so that shouldn't be a problem. Output is 5.1 V, which is also fine. I don't think there could be problem with connection between the battery and the module, because charging workes fine. The module is connected to the RPi via a USB cable. Couldn't there possibly be a problem, that the module can't outpout enough current to run the RPi?

i wouldnt just take the output rating as theyve stated....
theres a high change its not putting out anything near 1A
