Is there a Battery for CrowPi2?

Can a battery be added to the CrowPi2 basic kit?
What does it look like? Where does it fit? How much?

  • I see discussions on the forum regarding laptop battery monitors for the CrowPi L.
    Do all CrowPis come with batteries?

  • Please refer to this post

  • Thanks Pearl; I saw that but it does not answer the question of if they are included, or where to buy. It shows they go in a tray and they are described in Github.
    I think the Advanced and Deluxe kits include batteries but they are not listed in the advertising or shown in the pictures.
    I don't see the batteries listed on the Elecrow site either, so where do I buy a spare if the (supplied?) battery fails?
    I saw one forum post that said a guy in India was not able to buy a battery. Perhaps shipping is prohibited?
    The more I search the more questions. Why does the CrowPi have a smaller screen and cost more than the CrowPi2?
    I don't think the CrowPi has a keyboard. They are not always listed. Confusing.

  • A Power Bank (Battery) was originally included with the CrowPi2 Advanced and Deluxe Kits to be installed inside the Storage Tray but has since been discontinued as it is no longer listed in the kits comparision table on the current product page. And it was never available as an individual product for purchasing.

    The original Power Bank specifications are (first introduced in 2016):

    Model LeTV LeUPB-501T
    Capacity 5000/5090mAh, 19.25/19.59Wh (MIN/TYP)
    Input 5V-3A, 9V-1.9A, 12V-1.5A (MAX)
    Output 5V-3A, 9V-2.3A, 12V-1.6A (MAX)
    Dimensions 146.5 x 70.5 x 8.3 mm
    Weight 131g
    Quick Charge Standard PD3.0, QC3.0

    As with your question for the CrowPi, it offers a Basic and Advanced Kit configurations. The Advanced Kit includes some additional accessories over the Basic Kits, i.e. Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, a pair of Game Controllers, Heatsink Kit for RPI and Earphone.
