| Dec 1, 2020 at 18:00 | comment | added | rohtua | I would suggest that you setup the pi with all the sensors etc. that you want to use. Power it from the mains but with a USB power tester (amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XFZFZX6/…) between the source and the pi and see how many amps its using under your load. Then match that against what the power bank can deliver. | |

| Dec 1, 2020 at 16:37 | comment | added | user115418 | I’m voting to close this question because it lacks clarity of add-ons to be used (so restricting any advice to pure guess work), selection of kit before use case (user has selected Pi before researching needs), opinions will vary on if this is practicable or not and shopping recommendations are off-topic. | |
| Dec 1, 2020 at 16:35 | comment | added | user115418 | Multimeters are a rough guide only - brownouts that show up on a scope can 'kill' a pi very quickly. As for your issue - its going to lead to very opinion based / shopping items - both of which are off-topic I'm afraid - even the USB webcam / 'weather sensors' need clarification and current draw to give a judges item. Remember the foundation set requirements for good reasons not to be impractical - maybe the use case does not match the kit selection (as that seems to have been done first)... Voting a close. | |
