So, Help. Please.... I'm confused, re: the input the DC power
supply.
- I thought I understood the input dc power requirement was 9.0
volts (using a barrel connector).? SO I bought one.
- Now I read that the max input power is to be no more than 8.2V
DC.
- Further, the two 18650 batteries (even fully charged) can only
supply 7.2VDC. SO I bought two.
What are the actual input power requirements for the ZbitX, so
I get it right before I power it up?
Thank you,? Don Lewis, Austin, TX.

I
ordered a 12v buck converter with adjustable power
output. Thought is I can use my current collection of
12v ?lipo batteries and still power the Z
Having just
received my zBitx, I'm looking for advice on the
proper batteries to use in the battery holder.
Since the zBitx does not include a battery
charging circuit (a good thing, in my opinion),
I'm looking for a recommendation for a pair of
cells for the attached battery holder (18650? Flat
top?) and ideally an included battery charger to
charge the two cells. The ability to order them
off Amazon is a plus, but not a requirement by any
means.

Also,
Bioenno offers 9v LiFePO4 battery packs in 3 and 6
amp capacities, I assume such a battery would work
FB with the zBitx, correct? Here's a link to the 3
amp 9 volt pack and charger I'm looking at:

It is not
the cheapest option, but it is an option - with a
suitable Powerpole to coaxial plug adapter it
should be fine, right? (My concern comes from
watching Farhan video earlier today and his
comment about "always" running the zBitx at 8.2
volts...

Thanks,
