UPS / long term battery for Seeeduino

Powering through the 5V jst, the limits are something like 7-12V. The amount of heat generated by the regulator goes up with higher voltages and higher currents

Through USB my seeeduino seems to run ok at 4.4V, though that might not be the case for every board…

I’m using a Li-Po Rider with a 2A battery. This is obviously much smaller scale than your project…
