Hi!

Will the Battborg work with the new Raspberry Pi that just got released?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Anton

We've got our Pi version 2 ordered for delivery tomorrow. We'll check everything and report. We might get to do some power measurements as well ^_^

Hi!

Have you gotten any results? :)

Our Raspberry Pi version 2 turned up with the postman this morning.

The BatBorg is definitely working with the version 2, but our batteries are a little flat since we used them the other day.

I will charge the batteries over lunch and do some current measurements when they are ready (it looks better than the B+ so far).

The Raspberry Pi version 2 seems to use an idle 100 mA as a bare minimum (no attached devices) with 8x AAs.

With enough attached to use it like a normal PC we saw an idle of 144 mA,

See BattBorg - Facts and figures for more details.
