Can I connect the power supply and power bank to CrowPi2 at the same time?
Thank you for making such a good product, my son is using it to learn Python.
There are two ways to power the CrowPi2. However, about the hardware, my question is:
Can I use the power supply and power bank to supply power for CrowPi2 at the same time? Will the power supply charge the power bank?

No, you can't. Please don't use any power bank and the DC-12V power port to power the CrowPi2 at the same time. It will damage the power bank battery and may even pose potential safety risks.
Hi Tony,
If the power bank is turned off so it is not supplying power, can it be charged from the CrowPi2's micro-USB port when the CrowPi2 is powered by DC-12V?
No, the power bank will not be charged through the DC12V power port, please do not use them at the same time!
there are power bank with a female input at 12V barrel 5.5 mm, and a switchable male output 12V barrel 5.5 mm.
Can I connect the CrowPi power supply to the power bank input to charge it, and use the power bank output to power the CrowPi via the 12V barrel jack?
My intention is to have a backup supply like all notebooks, than can be always connected to main supply and recharge the battery, but in case of main power failure, the device remain switched on via the battery.
