Off topic discussion • running Pi off-grid: which battery-types can play a vital role!?

good evening dear Pi-experts

my little winter project - working on a pi that runs offline and sends data to the mainstation (in the house): that said: taking Raspberry Pi projects off the grid is damned awesome:

making them portable opens a world of possibilities: but it is somewhat challenging - and using batteries as a power source is key to this mobility, but it requires planning.

well i am still musing : which battery-types are here to play a role:
note: i am trying to dive into the overview of Using Batteries for Raspberry Pi Projects

Batteries have limited capacity, and their voltage can decrease as they discharge, potentially leading to bad or lets say unstable operation of the Raspberry Pi.

question: which types of Batteries Suitable for Raspberry Pi are out there -which are suitable:

a. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Batteries

b. Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries

c. Lead-Acid Batteries


which pros and cons do we have here!?

so the question is: running Pi off-grid: which battery-types can play a vital role!? and yes: is a Photovoltaik asset a good idea here!?

look forward to hear from you
