Dear forum,

I couldn't find any information on the maximum capacity that I can (should?) connect to the UPS connector.

I didn't manage to find a power bank that would either wake up automatically or could be prevented from shutting down by the dummy load (max frequency, max interval). Therefore, I consider to attach 4 to 6 18650 cells to the WittyPi to power it entirely without 5V supply (~30.000 mAh).

Is there anything I need to consider?

Thank you very much!

Witty Pi 4 L3V7 uses TP4056 to charge the battery, which has 1A maximum charging current. If you attach 4 to 6 units of 18650 parallelly, the charging speed will be rather low.
