The PiJuice Portable Power Platform is a fully uninterruptible power supply that will keep your Raspberry Pi powered and portable. The unit is designed for the Raspberry Pi A+, B+, 2B, 3B and 3B+, as well as being compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 and Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless. The revolutionary PiAnywhere technology, contained in every PiJuice HAT, is the best way to take your Pi "off the grid"!
An onboard Real Time Clock (RTC) will keep the Pi informed of the time, even with no power input or internet connection. Power management is handled by an integrated microcontroller, taking care of soft shut-down functionality, intelligent startup, and a true low power deep-sleep state. The PiJuice has two RGB LEDs that allow you to keep track of what's going on, with info about charge levels, etc. Three programmable buttons let you trigger events and scripts.
To further enhance the potential uses for the Raspberry Pi using PiJuice why not use solar panels to provide power - great for remote, unattended applications such as an autonomous camera system, weather station, off-grid desktop, and other great outdoor projects.
