Jun 8, 2016 at 8:16 comment added Maxthon Chan @Davita I used a ghetto solution, assembled one myself.
Jun 7, 2016 at 15:51 comment added Davita @MaxthonChan I experience restarts when electricity drops with my battery pack. Can you tell us which battery do you use and if it has similar problem or not? thanks

added an update re the one data card
Feb 1, 2013 at 12:52 comment added scruss Nope, it's fine if it has a stable grid connection. With the crappy overhead wiring we have in Toronto, that's a problem that only a UPS can solve. My Raspberry Pi draws about 850 mA; 1.2 A is a bit heavy.
Feb 1, 2013 at 3:06 comment added Kevin Chen Your flickering issues might be because the phone charger can't provide the 1.2 A that the Raspberry Pi needs.
Jan 22, 2013 at 16:42 comment added scruss Yes. I have noticed that my long-running machine is slowly filling up the card. I'm suspecting logging.
Jan 22, 2013 at 15:28 comment added jefflunt Just to clarify (to make sure I'm reading it correctly), by "uptimes to match" you mean uptimes of months, yes?
Oct 4, 2012 at 2:10 comment added scruss Yes, mine has been running off a UPS since about the day after I wrote that comment, and has uptimes to match ...
Oct 3, 2012 at 14:10 comment added elomage The power glitches might be less of a problem if you plug it in a UPS. That's my solution for network switch and router running on a similar board.
