That means that at every red traffic light I encounter, the voltage goes to zero, until it reaches 5 volt again somewhere across the street and charging restarts.  I actually purchased the pinetab to accompany me on my travels (and because I like what Pine64 is doing and because I sincerely dislike some OS producing techfirms that I will not name here but you'll probably be familiar with).

I'm with you on hardware not from the big surveilance firms!

That is a very specialized (but very awesome!) use case. Though I agree with the basic sentiment about defaulting to startup for servers and stay shutdown for tablets, I have no idea where this particular characteristic comes from in our case.

It sounds like, as dachalife suggested, you may want a little bit more self-crafted hardware to maintain that 5v at traffic lights and such. But this "feature" is going to be a pain for you, for sure.
