Lipo Battery Voltage Drop Across Pi 3B and LCD Screen

Post by llonden »

Hello all,

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B and LCD Controller Board connected to a Powerboost 1000 Basic. A Lipo Battery Charger is connected to the Powerboost as well.

I noticed if I remove the LCD Controller board from the Powerboost, the battery voltage reads 4.05v when powering on the Pi. When both LCD Controller Board and Pi are connected, the battery voltage drops to 3.85-3.9v when powering on.

Is there any way to keep that initial 4.05v when both Pi and LCD Board are connected?
