- Avamander 3y agoUnfortunately the Pi-s, especially the 4 and 3, have really finicky power circuitry. That lack of robustness combined with your usual SD-cards that can't handle it either is in my opinion one of the worst aspect of the Pi-s. https://hackaday.com/2021/02/12/pcb-mods-silence-voltage-warnings-on-the-pi-4/ https://hackaday.com/2021/02/12/pcb-mods-silence-voltage-war...
- Brybry 3y agoI think the article was saying the issue was the Netgear AC800S 4G/Wifi[1] modem rebooting if it didn't have its removeable battery inserted. I believe the RPi and the car battery they were using are still fine.
