Can anyone recommend a 5 V battery (the sort used for recharging / powering a mobile phone) that can supply enough current to drive a Pi 5 via its USB-C power socket?
I have a 3000 mVAhr battery that is rated at 3 A, but this is not sufficient to power the Pi 5 - I get a "low voltage" warning even when the battery is fully charged. So presumably the Pi draws more than 3 A.
I'm looking to power a Pi 5, an external SD card (not spinning HDD) and a security or night-vision camera.
There is the separate issue of how long the charge in a battery will last...
