Power

Mon Mar 02, 2015 6:49 pm

I read that I need a power regulator if I'm going to power my pi on batteries.
However I don't understand if this is only when I'm supply power through the pins or if this includes when I plug a battery into the micro USB.

You will need a UBEC unless your batteries include one to keep a stable 5V0 supply.
