Hello all!
I have plans to put together a sort of tablet using the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and I have some questions concerning power consumption. I plan to use a 7-inch non-touchscreen usb-powered display from Adafruit that draws 600mA. I also need to power a wifi dongle and a wireless mouse/keyboard combo dongle (uses only one usb port). I found two usb battery packs built for the RPi on Adafruit. The more expensive one outputs 2A and the less expensive one outputs 1A. Would 1A be enough for the Pi, the display, and the dongles? Are there any cheaper mobile power supplies that I could use?
Thanks in advance for any help.
