What is it?

Power supply module for Pi-Zero, Pi-Zero W/WH.Up to 2.4A output current. Even 900mah can work more than 4 hours with zero W.

Why did you make it?

Many software engineers are able to developing products base on raspberry pi, but few of them are good at soldering. Pi zero is very small, it's a good choice when you plan to create a portable prototype. But when it comes with a power bank connected, it's not longer that cute. So we are thinking if there is a portable, solderless solution to supply power for pi zero, it will be very friendly for raspberry pi beginners!

What makes it special?

It supplies power through bottom pads of pi zero and does not occupy GPIO pins. Therefore, it’s totally compatible with other piHats. You can use PiSugar even when your pi zero has no GPIO header. It’s possible to keep your pi project in the minimum size.

• Easy to Install: install in one minute. No soldering required. Use small test-pad to supply power,does not occupy any GPIO of Raspberry Pi, can be use pi without GPIO header.
• Perfect Size: standard dimension of raspberry pi zero. You can easily put your prototypes in small cases. Easy, and graceful.
• Use when charging: use the micro USB port as raspberry pi zero does. No extra charging cable required. Can be charged and supplied power to raspberry pi at the same time.
• Open-source cases: download STL files from Github and print your own pi case.Or contact usfor more open-source files.
• With magnetic design, the battery is attracted to the board. The battery won’t drop in daily use.Also, it’s very easy to install PiSugar to a pi zero. Attaching the board to the bottom side of pi zero is all the thing you need to do.
• On-board switch let you control the pi whenever you want. Single click to turn on, double clicks to turn off. There are fourLEDs indicating power level.

Note:

• Please use the PiSugar micro USB port to charge.
• The module will keep on power supply when charging.
• When stopping USB charging, PiSugar will keep on and pi zero will reboot once.

Compatible with Pi zero v1.1 and v1.3. Not compatible with v1.2. Please check your Pi zero version before purchase. The version information can be found on the bottom side of Pi zero.
