Raspberry Pi 3 B+

My Pi consumes 680 mA:

  • Logitech Optical Mouse Model M-BT85: 80 mA (standby)
  • Apple Keyboard Model A1242: 140 mA (standby)
  • HDMI-Port[1]: 40 mA
  • ...which leaves 420 mA for the Pi with all of the above turned off

Meaning, it runs about TBD 2 hours with one of my green 18650 (apparently they don't have the promised 3000mA capacity...).

Raspberry Pi Zero

My Pi consumes 330 mA when idle and about 400 mA when not:

  • Logitech Optical Mouse Model M-BT85: 80 mA (standby)
  • Apple Keyboard Model A1242: 140 mA (standby)
  • NOT TESTED: HDMI-Port[2]: 40 mA
  • ...which leaves 70 mA for the Pi with all of the above turned off and idle

Meaning, it runs about TBD X hours with one of my green 18650.


  • Footnotes:
  1. Disable with tvservice -o in /etc/rc.local
  2. Disable with tvservice -o in /etc/rc.local
