Use a boost converter with power bank and Raspberry Pi
I’ve tried to power my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B by means a Catlyn Power Bank 10000mah.
The Raspberry Pi starts but a low voltage warning is showed.
I’ve understood that through USB cable there is a voltage drop below the initial 5V of the power bank and, for this reason, I receive the low voltage warning.
I’ve read on the web that could I use a boost converter that, I think, should stabilize the voltage to the required 5.1 V whatever happens.
The questions are:
(1) Is this a good and safe idea?
(2) If so, what kind of converter must I build?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
