I'm making a portable emulation machine with the pi 4, and im confused about power solutions.
im using this screen with this controller board.
I'm new to this, if you couldnt tell. I realize that it would be difficult to power both with one battery, so i dont mind using more than one. I was going to use a lipo and the adafruit powerboost 1000 to power the pi, but am rethinking this due to lipo safety concerns. it is also worth noting that i intend to use a shim safe shutdown switch to power the pi through gpio. It seems like li ion might be the best option to power the screen, and if that seems to be cost effective enough, i see no reason not to also use this for the pi. I dont really know how i would go about setting up li lion batteries, or where to get them for the best price, or even everything i would need really, so advice is appreciated. space is not really a concern, as while i do intend my build to be portable, the case i have is very large.
if any additional details are needed, i have basically every other detail ready, so this can be planned precisely.
i considered posting this in the raspberry pi topic, but the actual area of question has more to do with batteries and power than the pi itself, i think.
thanks
