Powering a Raspberry Pi 5

The Raspberry Pi 5’s power requirements are ~25W (5V at 5A). https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html

I am trying to find a voltage regulator to convert 12V from a LiPo to power the RPi on a mobile robot. Has anyone used either of these with any success?

Just wanted to verify before I pulled the trigger on purchasing them. Thank you!

Hello.

Either of the regulators you linked to should be okay for powering a Raspberry Pi, although here is a link to the regulator that would be my first recommendation right now:

Its performance should be similar to the larger of the boards you linked to, but it is significantly smaller (1"×1" instead of 1.6"×0.8").

Oh great! Thanks :slight_smile:
