What battery are you using. PI Sugar didn't work for me ?

I've been trying to find a mobile handheld console to install Debain on, I'm not sure how well it would work, but it could be cool.

Any cheap powerbank will do. The Pi Zero W never uses more than 2A of current which is within a recent powerbank possibilities.

Something like this should be enough to keep it running for a few hours: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Ultra-Portable-Ultra-Safe-...

Ahh, I'm using a power bank right now and it works well. It does bother me a bit the power bank is 3x the size of the zero itself, but it works
