meet various Raspberry Pi usage situation. It has 4 power indicators; each indicator represents 25% of the power,

indicator will light up and turn off when fully charged. You need to use two 18650 flat top rechargeable batteries. The
larger the battery capacity, the longer you use. You can choose according to your needs.

battery will not work properly, at this time, you need to plug the Type C cable into the charging port to turn off the
protection circuit, and the battery can be used normally.
