I am trying to determine options for building a rechargeable, battery-powered Pi Zero W. If I get this lithium ion battery pack: https://www.adafruit.com/product/353, and pair it with this universal charger: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4755, can the Pi Zero W be connected to the LOAD output port and run off the battery, or does the battery need to be unplugged from the charger and then plugged directly into the Pi Zero W?
What I would like is a rechargeable battery that I can leave connected to the Pi Zero W so that all I ever have to do is plug a power source into the charger from time to time to top up the batteries.

Re: Rechargeable Battery-Powered Pi Zero W
Either that 6600 mAh pack or the 10500 mAh version https://www.adafruit.com/product/5035.The powerBoost 1000C is an option as well and will provide 5v for the Pi. It won't give you 3A (not likely with a LiPo anyway) but for a basic setup it should be adequate. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2465
