Perfect

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

The package had everything that I needed and more. I literally plugged everything in to my pi 0 and it's booted right up and instantly worked. I would highly recommend anyone by this instead of piecing together the parts by themselves.

Reliable battery power for your Pi

For Pisugar 2 Plus: Battery for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B

Worked great for me. Pretty simple to set up the software and to physically attach the unit to the Pi. I like that you can easily swap out the battery for a bigger or smaller capacity one, or if the original fails. The unit supplies plenty of power - enough for a small 4 inch display, a fan on 5v and a couple of usb peripherals including an SSD. I only have one negative on this product and it was for a very specific use scenario (some of the PiSugar software can conflict with other programs making some of the functionality of the PiSugar, unavailable). Overall though, decent product.

Great product, bad display

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

Honestly I like how simple it is to assemble this item. It took me about 5 min figuring it out and I was amazed. I did notice the casing had a few scratches, but I didn't mind that. The housing is very protective and I am impressed on how well it fits too!

The huge factor for this was getting the pwnagotchi working. I did open the waveshare screen, and saw that it had the pwngotchi face on it and didn't think much about it, and I plugged in the SD card (already had the setup files) and with the pisugar charged by me I turned on the Pi and nothing happened with the screen.

I am honestly upset, and will change my review to something much better if I can get some assistance at this point

Response from PiSugar Kitchen | March 28, 2022
Sorry for inconvenience! We do a test and assembly before shipping to ensure product quality, so you can see the pattern when you open the package. Please be patient for a while, screen refresh takes time and power! Sometimes it takes a long time to wait. If the screen still does not respond after waiting, the ink screen may need to rewrite the img file, please contact us by email (pisugar.zero@gmail.com).

PiSugar3 - Works Great!

For Pisugar 3: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Arrived in US in ~3 weeks, as expected, very well packaged and intact. Easy hardware and software install, up and running in minutes. Running a RPi Zero 2W with 1.3" TFT display, interfaced with a Ham radio as a DigiPi, I see power ticking down at about 10% per hour. An excellent bit of technology!

As requested and delivered

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

It took about 4 weeks to arrive in the EU.
It was completely as discribed.

Assembly is fairly easy, without instructions.

Only thing I can note, is that I got 2 backpanes instead of a front and backpanes. That is somewhat disappointing.

Battery is tested and of good quality, also the SD card provided is decent.

I would recommend, just verify the panes....

Battery arrived slightly damaged, but support team was quick

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Received the PiSugar2 2 days ago, am loving it. The battery arrived bent, when I contacted the PiSugar team they immediately offered to send a replacement. Great customer support! Shipping was good too, for where I live at least.

Got it, owner even re-shipped after a mess-up during transit

For Pisugar 2 Plus: Battery for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B

I originally never received the device but it said delivered, I asked this maker what happened and spoke to the delivery companies and they don't know where the mix-up was but the maker re-shipped me one and I received it quite happily. I've been testing it for a few days now, seems to work great, and the software works good as well. Thanks for great service and a great product. I'll be happily buying a few more of these for some upcoming projects. 10/10 great product, service, documentation and communication. Thanks!

Low profile, perfect for what I need

For Pisugar 2 Plus: Battery for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B

I'm making a handheld and all batteries are too high profile to fit into my case, I thought I was going to have to design one myself and maybe blow up a few batteries but this came to the rescue. I love the design of it being on the bottom so its fine with another hat on top for other purposes. Also nice that the battery isn't permanantly stuck to the bottom so I can make it even thinner if I want.

Andreas | Sept. 26, 2021

Great autonomy for your Pi Zero!

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

I have bought the PiSugar2 to give my project the necessary autonmy. And I was not disappointed. The product came with all the screws and documentation needed and was very easy to install.

Custom duties for Italy

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

I'm not reviewing product, just for you to know that here in Italy I had to pay 4.80€ of custom duties.

Wai | Aug. 2, 2021

Worth the Wait

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Took 3 weeks to arrive but worth the wait! Brilliant design, easy to setup, flawless in use, love it! Will definitely be part of many of my ideas from now on. (Maybe offer alternative shipping method?) Thanks!

Enrico | June 8, 2021

Mistakes were resolved.

For Pisugar 2 Plus: Battery for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B

Ordered the product and was nice and usual until receiving my package finding out that they sent the wrong one. After mailing them about the mistake it was quickly replied and even had a quicker response to the problem than I ever seen. I even had the package snuck up on me after being informed it was on its way. Time it took to resolve the issue: 5 days. Top marks on customer service and will definitely recomend this product, simplistic yet effective with lots of option of customisation. Maybe for the next model have a battery that fits in the parameters of the screws so that a case can be screwed in underneath? Just a thought.....

Chris | June 1, 2021

Nice product, long delivery (NL)

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Work really nice, have it together with my pwnagotchi. Delivery time a little bit long that keeping me from another order. For the rest nice product, nice manual and connection material and package nice in a plastic box.

Virgiliu | May 15, 2021

Great battery!

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Small, easy to install, easy to use and has a nice weight to it. Perfect for small projects that don't have power readily available <3

Ron | April 10, 2021

Awesome, and well worth it!

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

Everything came as described, and has been performing just fine, was REALLY drawn to the case for some reason, great work on the pi sugar 2 plugin as well, it's amazing to get battery stats, overall great work on the project, thank you ! (◕ヮ◕)

Christopher | March 9, 2021

LOVE IT!!!! (◔◡◔)

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

Arrived wonderfully packaged in a nice hard plastic case. Shipping to Eastern USA took about two weeks or so, but I can't fault them for free shipping from China. There's essentially no documentation, but as others have said, if you bought this in the first place you likely have some idea what you are doing. Otherwise, there's more than enough documentation online to work out anything you are unsure about. My device arrived already assembled and the software already installed and ready to go. Flipped the switch and it booted up and immediately got to work pwning networks! The included accessories are also a nice bonus! Mine came with the pizero and pisugar2 already assembled in the 3d-printed case, a microsd reader, a microHDMI adapter, a usb otg adapter, some jumper wires, and some screws and posts (presumably in case you want to use the piSugar2 battery outside of the 3d-printed case) They even included a bonus santa hat that is really cute.

Honestly I enjoy building things from scratch and had planned on purchasing the parts separately and assembling my own Pwnagotchi, but this was a better deal than buying them all separately and all the included extras made it an instant buy for me. I was not disappointed!!

Felipe Dos Santos | Feb. 21, 2021

They have a great support

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Ordered two (for pwnagotchis), and i bothered the hell out of questions on their support email and they answered every single of my noobs questions, even those not related to their product.

Since it's a compact electronic piece you gotta be careful while using it as usual, but it serves well and has nice functions.

Dmytro | Feb. 16, 2021

Really cool !

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Great battery pack really cool!

Just perfect!

Excellent

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Exactly what I'd hoped for, and really appreciate the extra work involved with organising the shipping to New Zealand!

Florian | Jan. 25, 2021

Great product

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

All contents are as described, works well and nice quality case. And even with a snap link hook.
Shipping took about 2 weeks, but this was expected and normal from China.

Kyle | Jan. 22, 2021

Overall I would say good transaction.

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

I purchased after I wrote them. they will respond usually between 1&3 days with a very short and brief sentence. But product showed up turned it on and it started grabbing pcaps. For people who may be new to pwnagotchi and or Linux and or script. this will be a challenge. seller will not be giving any suggestions. go to Reddit and get beat up their. I do have problems connecting to my Pwnagotchi via ssh as my laptop won't see it unless I fully reset my network connections on my laptop. But this has nothing to do with seller. just my lack of experience. will be buying another from this seller as soon as I learn how to use current one.

Sam | Jan. 21, 2021

Good product - Slow shipping

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Very great battery for small projects. i used mine to build a pwnagochi and it is doing great! now i just need to find a case for it because i havent got a 3D printer

Arnaud | Jan. 7, 2021

all in all a nice battery backup for pi zero

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

All in all a nice battery backup for pi zero well worth the money ,works well with my Pwnagotchi and Jumbospot MMDVM

Max | Nov. 8, 2020

Best online experience

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

Surprised by how legit this transaction went, will come back to this vendor in the future! Excellent case and hooked it up with plenty of electronic goodies that I use all the time. Pwnagochi works beautifully

Sean | Nov. 3, 2020

Very nice kit. The case is wonderful.

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

Ordered just over a week ago and got to MA from China. Was pretty fast shipping. The kit has everything I need to get pwning.
The case is very nice. If it’s 3D printed it could be the nicest 3D I have seen.

Mark | Oct. 27, 2020

Nice little bit of kit, but the battery lasts maybe 2 hours

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

The pisugar battery unfortunately is just a bit cheap and a bit crap. Having it all in one tight package is great, and looks cool but it barely lasts 2 hours brand new using the device with the ocasional blutooth going.

For the money you are much better off buying a seperate battery pack that is 20000mah and it lasts forever.

Im pretty convinced the battery will be dead in a couple of months of being used too.

Guido | Oct. 21, 2020

Great product in a small format

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

I purchase this product for my rasp pi zero, and it was amazing, the package was well sealed and protected. The battery last with full charge at least 4hrs. I can't wait to try to use some wireless recharging tool or something similar.

Ed | Oct. 21, 2020

Pisugar 2 battery pi zero, is okay but could be better

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

In our project we where looking for a pi zero with battery, on/off button, and easy charging.

The Pisugar2 has only an OFF button (if manual configured like that). The ON function is not (yet) implemented.
The OFF button is positioned on the long side of the pi zero. Because the assembly (pi zero plus battery) is build in a hand-grip, it would be more convenient having this functional button on the same side as the SD card.
The charging micro USB connection is positioned on the long side of the pi zero. Because the assembly (pi zero plus battery) is build in a hand-grip, it would be more convenient having this functional button on the same side as the SD card.

What and how to program the button with shell scrips is a total mystery for raspberry pi Dummy's. Samples of shell scrips for programming the button would be very helpful. The first time customer now is left in the dark.
A good product with a lot of potentials but also a product with missed chances.

Mattia | Oct. 19, 2020

Everything perfect, excellent quality product!

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

All perfect,
very fast shipping.
The article arrived already perfectly programmed,
a few changes were enough to connect with my mobile phone via bluetooth.
Highly recommended seller!!

Perfect Battery-Extension for Pi Zero

For Pisugar 1: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Works great, easy to install and perfect battery life!
Enough to keep the pi running for many hours with an full charged battery.
LED Battery charged feedback (+)
Would recommend for any mobile project with an raspberry pi zero

Joel | Oct. 8, 2020

Great product.

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

I am enjoying my pisugar. I am having some issues trying to get all of the features working, but that might be more a problem with my level of skill with raspberry pi's and adding plugins and scripts. They do update the features regularly and I reached out for help with my issues.

Thanks!

Rogier | Oct. 7, 2020

Good concept, nice form factor, strange software

For Pisugar 2: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

Let me start by saying that the hardware part is a nice looking solution with some smart solutions, like the pogo pins to connect to the Pi Zero, the threaded inserts to screw onto the Pi Zero and the magnet to hold the battery. The board looks professionally made, I have no doubts about the quality.

However there are some decisions made which I don't understand:
* Why an RTC SD3078 which is not supported by the Raspbian/Raspberry PI OS? If you really want to have proper OS support for the RTC you have to recompile the OS kernel.
* Why a Web UI to control the board, and not some CLI commands, in my opinion the software side is not very well thought out.
* Software is written in an obscure language called Rust. A Python version of the software is deprecated, while Python is a much wider adopted programming language.

I hope the OS kernel will eventually support the used RTC and the software will improve in the future, because for now this is not a proper implementation

Great device for those portable applications you create

For Pisugar 1: Battery for Raspberry Pi zero

This power source is a perfect creation that has enable me to create so many standalone projects in a compact form factor. It is sleekly designed to only add 1cm or so of height to any Pi Zero board stack that you are creating. It has powered all of my applications for just over 4 hours, and recharges very quickly. The power button is designed nicely to quickly cut power with a simple double click, and is easily depressed with a smartly designed 3D printed enclosure. I wish the supply was higher so you could get them more quickly, but I am glad I can get them at all, worth the wait.
