Fantastic seller, fantastic product, fantastic experience!

For Pwnagotchi Complete Pack - pi0w-eink-battery-case

I purchased this as a little tinker toy to fiddle with. I've been diving deep into the world of SBC's and I'm always looking for something new to get my hands on and play with. I reached out to the seller after placing the order with a few small requests regarding my order and the seller went above and beyond to exceed my expectations in every possible way.

The product shipped and arrived faster than I could have ever expected and everything was expertly packaged with care and of fantastic quality. I turned it on out of the box and it instantly started to do its thing. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase and the level of service I experienced! Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be buying more and telling my friends to do the same!

Great product, great customer service

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

For the short amount of time I got my Pi working with the PiSugar2, it was great. I then went and kept fidgeting with the setup until, completely due to my own stupidity, I screwed up the board. The PiSugar team bent over backwards to help me fix the problem. Thank you, and if you're looking to power a Pi, PiSugar should be at the top of your list.

Great customer service

For Pwnagotchi Complete Pack - pi0w-eink-battery-case

Unit arrived as described with one issue, the microSD card was faulty. I went out and grabbed another 32gb card, flashed it, and it booted right up. I contacted the seller and they immediately compensated me for the cost of the new SD card. Great customer service. As a note, the case that came with the unit looks great, and the unit seats flush with all ports and covers.
Unit arrived basic shipping from China to California in just over two weeks, not bad considering I did not opt for premium shipping.

Will buy from PiSugar kitchen again.

So Happy!

For Pwnagotchi Complete Pack - pi0w-eink-battery-case

I am very happy that I decided to order my pwnagotchi from Pi Sugar. I couldn't be happier with the order. The case is really nice including switch and button covers for the Pi Sugar. Doesn't look 3D printed, unless they use a resin print method. My guess is injection molded. A carabiner or keyring hook would be a great addition, but I'm not complaining. Shipping to the US was much faster then I expected. Only seven days from shipment to delivery. I did opt for the DHL shipment option so that helped I'm sure.
I am also glad that I added a second Pi Sugar unit as I am planning on another pi0w project. It's a really well designed and executed product and couldn't be more happy! All told after pricing all these items separately through stateside retailers I could not beat the price from Pi Sugar directly.

Cheers!

works like a charm

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Great communication with seller (due to payment struggles by tindie). Got shipped well packed in an antistatic bag within a box surrounded by bubblewrap and carton. Came with screws and nice quick install guide. Li-Ion battery was fully charged on delivery.

This is the battery solution you're looking for!

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

I've been looking for a good battery solution for a while now. I've tried building projects with a powerbank, with the Pimoroni LiPo SHIM and now with PiSugar 2. This is so far my favorite. It is not only a battery solution, it is so much more!

It is:
* A battery and...
* The "PCB" needed to "receive" the battery
* The "other PCB" that charges the battery
* RTC
* Timer (you can tell it to boot at a certain time)
* UPS functions (safely power down at low %)
* An extra, programmable button

PROS
* I like that it is built as a product. It is complete: there's a homepage, there's an install script, you can change some settings via a Web UI. It is kind of beginner friendly. I'm recommending this to my friends who don't want to solder.

CONS
* I'm not quite sure that the Web UI is secure. It is not a big problem. I just added a couple of lines in iptables and use the Web UI via SSH tunneling. But you need to keep this in mind if you're gonna build something that needs to be secure.

SO YOU KNOW... (GOTCHAS)
* You need to get a case for this. I strapped it to my RPi Zero (with extra rubber bands) and had it one day in my pocket and another day in my backpack. The battery is fit with a magnet, it is a neat solution. But as your RPi + PiSugar moves around, the pogopins tear on the black paper around the battery. It is only a matter of time until you realize that this kind of needs a case. So you know...

For reference: I choose the "premium" shipping with DHL. The shipping was fast, I got a small customs fee. I'm quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Great little battery for Pi0w

For Pisugar 1: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

This is a nice, compact way to power a Pi Zero W. The setup is really very easy, just a matter of attaching the board to the bottom of the Pi. The magnet is a nice addition as it holds the battery firmly in place but still allows access to the mounting holes underneath.
I’ve used the battery under fairly constant load and I didn’t detect any unusual temperature spikes or excessive heat. Battery life for the standard version was good, 6-7 hours for normal processing, 3-4 hours for processor-intensive sessions.
Battery charge level is indicated by blue LEDs on the side of the board and these seem to be an accurate gauge of the battery charge.
I didn’t connect to the battery via WiFi, so I can’t comment on the connectivity or the information provided by the wireless interfaces.
The only connectivity between the Pi and the battery is as a power supply, and so does not provide direct access to the battery manager (got charge load, etc). This information may be available wirelessly and will be (as far as I can tell) a major part of the PiSugar 2.
The developer has also made a bunch of 3D files available for cases, with different styles for a pretty wide range of displays and configurations. These can be found on the GitHub project page.
I will be buying another PiSugar as I like the compact form factor, and feel confident about its stability and performance. I’m also looking forward to the PiSugar 2.
I’m extremely pleased with it.
