        Single cell LiPo 3.7V typical with JST PH2 connector (make sure the polarity matches!). There's isn't a limit on wattage, we've tested it with batteries up to 10Ah but I don't see a reason it can't do more.

            in theory yes but most power banks turn off the output when there’s very little load, such as when the device goes into deepsleep .

            Also the USB interface will be active and consume a (small but relevant) amount of power
