Will work under touch screen if setup properly
Awesome little device, surprisingly long lasting battery on a pi3 with a screen. No problems charging, no problems with heat. Included led status lights are ideal. Probably could use a new location for the power button but it worked out ok in my build.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great battery for RPI applications.

    This is great. I can now take my Raspberry pi with me and leave the plug at the wall. This also would work nicely as a backup power supply however from what I've read at the time of this writing you would have to reboot the pi once power is restored so the battery starts charging again. (If that is your application just google it. ;) This is a great battery and I love Makerfocus products and their Youtube instructional videos.

    Know the limitations and you will be alright. Package arrived with no documentation. But the website has enough to get you going. This UPS will basically allow you to safely power down the Pi should power be lost or just cycled. But you have to power off the unit and turn it back on in order for it to charge the battery. In the 2 days I have done testing, it doesn't appear that the battery will charge with the hat turned off or after power has been restored. You have to power cycle the hat in order for it to start charging again. If you have the hat plugged in, it will keep powering the Pi. Your battery will just read 0% and the battery voltage will be really low. That's right the unit will keep draining the power from the battery after a power cycled. The hat has to be power cycled. It looks like the battery that came with the hat will run for about 2 hours. That is with 2 wlans and a network cable plugged in. Running Kismet in the background. Used the example python script from the website and was able to do a shutdown when the battery got low. For me this will work great as a portable penetration tester.
    I have seen only one other hat that claimed to do more. Same features with an RTC. But that one has really low rating. No Documentation at all and it cost 3 times more than this one.
    For me the perfect UPS would be the linux compatible APC USB smart ups in a hat. That you can program to restore power after the battery has reached a set capacity or after stable power has returned for a length of time.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Works well
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019

    I had this for about six months before the battery swelled up. Now, these are LiPo batteries we're dealing with here, so that was not good.

    After replacing the battery and before it swelled up, the battery seemed last nearly forever on my little Raspberry Pi.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with the RPi4b or 3B+
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Update:
    I returned for a full refund. The did update the listing to state that it will now work for a RPi4.
    However it won't work for a 3B+ under full load either. Not enough power output. Still not as described!

    Original:
    Absolutely will not work with a raspberry pi 4 b. Under voltage straight from the start on a full charge. Put the pi under load and instantly crashes. Totally not as described, and not for a Raspberry pi 4.

    2.0 out of 5 stars DOA unless packaging problem addressed
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The UPS was essentially DOA in that the battery would not charge nor would it switch to battery with power off. I had scheduled a return when a friend who ordered one at the same time as I also encountered the same problem and discovered that the leads from the battery to the board were reversed. When the connector was trimmed and reversed in the socket, it worked as advertised. I did the same and it now works quite well. Switches to backup flawlessly, recharges when power is returned. Once the packaging flaw is addressed, it is worth the money. Manufacturer should know better than to package the unit this way.

    The board and battery had been working fine for a couple months when the battery swelled up. I have four of these and this was the only one that has had an issue so something must have been faulty with the one. I was contacted by customer support and they immediately sent a replacement; excellent customer support, thank you!

    4.0 out of 5 stars GPIO Stacker is Flimsey and too tall. but puts out more power than the powerboost lineup.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017

    So I am using this board in a portable Pi3 console. Its running a 5in lcd, pi3b, stereo amp, and teensy 2.0. It does power them all however I do get a low power symbol during loading. I changed the battery to a 3500mah, wired in my own power switch. I did not give this 5 stars for one reason. The GPIO block that is soldered onto this board is very cheap. the pins are much longer than the GPIO on a PI. thus it sticks up exposing every pin along the mating point. I wound up removing the GPIO stacker altogether and ran power and ground directly when looking at the board only a couple pins had traces so the rest are pass-through. That and the pins are very flimsy and take some tweaking to get to line up with the Pi GPIO. It will stack and mate directly to the Pi and work however I was not satisfied with the gap it left. functionally this device puts out about 2amps and that's how I'm able to run the pi3 instead of being stuck on a pi2 or older.
    I did get a powerboost 1000c to run the extra components however I did not end up needing it as this one powered everything.. again I do get low power symbol during loads but it does not impact what I'm using it for. old emulation.
