Hello !
I'd like to make a Solar powered Wildlife Camera using the raspberry pi Zero w. In the tutorial i'm using (from a magazine), they use a 3.7V LiFePo4 battery and the DFRobot 3.7 LiPo Solar Charger (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1139.html). I was about to order it when i noticed the pi 0 uses 5V 2A whereas the battery used in the tuto is only 3.7 V & the charger they use only deliver 500mA.
Would this work even thought it's not the required voltage/amperage ?
Thanks for your help in advance !
