I’ve got a few projects on the list which will be battery powered. I’m thinking of using 18650s just because of how ubiquitous they are, but I know there’s other options out there. Are they worth it?

  • E-ink calendar
  • Solder fume extractor
  • Lora station
  • Portable “trail camera”
  • Home assistant remote controls Etc etc etc

    Yeah, I get you!

    What I’ve done in the past is just buy a few charging boards with an integrated holder. USB/12v input, 3.3/5v regulated output. You can even get ones with solar. Then my circuitry can be independent of the power system.

      And you can get UPS battery boards for $3 USD often and in various output voltages. Definitely outsource your power supplies and battery managers.
