Battery for Pine64

[pfeerick]

Hello, has anyone had any luck in powering the Pine64 using a battery? I used a pair of 18650's and a power converter, but it only powers up the down. The converter has a 1 amp rating with a 3 amp burst.

Need some more info mate. Like:

1. What voltage is the converter set to? 5v? 
   
2. How have you got it connected to the pine? micro usb? euler bus?
   
3. How are you turning it on? power button? plugging in?
   
4. Probably not too important at this stage, but what image is it running (ubuntu, debian, android, etc)?
   

And yes, I have my pine64 running directly from a lipo battery without any issues, using the battery connector. Running it from the USB port via a booster shouldn't be an issue as long as its set at the right voltage. You'll want to make sure there's some sort of protection circuitry on the batteries to prevent them being under-discharged though.
