[App_rpt-users] USB Battery Bank that supports 'Pass Through Charging' and acts as a UPS for Allstar Nodes running on a Pi

[Mark Phillips]

I use one of these to power the Pi that runs my 3D printer. It's wired in
to the printer supply. One switch does it all. they are great little
gizmo's. I bought a second one to run the Pi based hotspot in my car - when
I get around to it.
