There are smaller power adapters, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/chde\/power-adapters\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the 12W USB Power Adapter by Apple<\/a> shown in our example, but when directly connected to the Raspberry Pi, they can cause power problems. This also applies to power banks: the power supply is usually not sufficient for a long stable operation of the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B was still satisfied with 12W, but Model B+ and the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B require at least 15W (see here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffgeerling.com\/blog\/2018\/raspberry-pi-3-b-review-and-performance-comparison\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Review and Performance Comparison<\/a> and this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pidramble.com\/wiki\/benchmarks\/power-consumption\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Power Consumption Benchmarks<\/a>). There is also another problem with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B: because of <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190901132951\/https:\/\/www.scorpia.co.uk\/2019\/06\/28\/pi4-not-working-with-some-chargers-or-why-you-need-two-cc-resistors\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a flaw in how the USB-C power input is behaving<\/a>, currently, the Raspberry Pi 4 B does not work with most third-party power adapter and power banks. By contrast, the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pi-supply.com\/products\/pijuice-standard\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PiJuice HAT<\/a> works reliably with almost all Raspberry Pi versions and models, and virtually any power adapter or power bank can be connected to it, so the somewhat weak standard battery doesn&#8217;t run out too quickly. With the PiJuice alone, TorBox can be operated for an estimated 1-2 hours, depending on the load.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-744 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-011-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-734'>\n\t\t\t\tThe PiJuice attached to the 40 pin GPIO of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"To power the TorBox on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, you can either use the USB Micro-A socket of the PiJuice or the USB-C socket of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/to_go_2-012-plugs-rev1-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-889'>\n\t\t\t\tTo power the TorBox on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, you can either use the USB Micro-A socket of the PiJuice or the USB-C socket of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Used Items<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/products\/raspberry-pi-4-model-b\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raspberry Pi 4 Model B<\/a> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/raspberry-pi-4-heatsink\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pimoroni&#8217;s chunky heatsink<\/a> in combination with a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/pibow-coupe-4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pibow Coup\u00e9 4 case<\/a>.
