GM Pf,

I have on many occasions found the Raspberry PI hanging.Result was a redo of  he ICC image,update and reconfigure.I have lost count on the amount of times

it has been done.

I was considering using the Mecer tablet to the job.

I bought a portable Adata battery bank to use this as a UPS only to find it won't charge and supply power at the same time.

Are there any circuits or silver bullets out there I can put together use to have a shared 5v busbar to allow for continuity?I have also purchased a power cube from Builders with ac  and 2 DC outputs.

Thank you.

FG

Thanks @SolarNoobI think it would be cheaper to plug it into an old UPS I have after replacing the 7ah battery.

Perhaps your powersupply is insufficient, or faulty? Insufficient power to ta Pi could cause these symptoms.

Have you considered the UPS hats for the Pi?

I note that one of those UPS things has an UltraFire branded cell as the backup. A colleague and I assessed one of those cells 2.5 years ago, and found that they were complete rubbish. The active material was a loose fit inside the case, and they had a capacity perhaps half of what was claimed. So I'd be wary of any product that uses them, or even has them in an image on their web site.
