Raspberry Pi running off batteries

[rpiswag]

I would like to check power consumption of the raspberry pi in lxterminal to check if my rechargeable battery pack can supply enough power to run the rpi.

Hi,

I would like to check power consumption of the raspberry pi

To check power consumption of your setup (once) or to monitor it in real time (all the time) ?

I would like to check it multiple times but not all the time. I would like to check it using lxterminal on the raspberry pi.

Hi,

I would like to check it using lxterminal on the raspberry pi.

I guess you probably need an application ?
It would read data from the board which monitors/measures the battery state. What type of battery do you use ?

anyone tried running a Pi of a Canon DLSR Camera battery

I've got a stack of LP-E8's rated at 7.2V / 1360mAh 9.7Wh and thought these would make a good power source

use a usb lipo device - so it provides 5V and not 7.2V+ whcih will kill things unless you build a circuit with a VR etc...
