Maybe you should attach the power to a cheap USB battery pack and leave that permanently recharging? Some cannot simultaneously charge and discharge. Some can. The "USB UPS" is the tool you want here. Example: http://raspi.tv/2013/testing-rs-5200-mah-usb-lithium-battery-pack-as-a-ups I think the bigger problem would be "fluttering" power that might cause the probe to hang and require a manual hard power cycle. But if the power interruptions are short, an in-line battery should help. On Sun, Sep 27, 2015 at 1:50 PM, Anurag Bhatia <me@anuragbhatia.com> wrote:

Hello everyone!

I have recently deployed a probe in a place where there's unstable power. Probe is rebooting like 4-5 times a day and unlikely power would be fixed in near future.

I was wondering if it's safe for probe at all. Does anyone has experience with 4-5 reboots a day with probe? Will probe sustain it or better I just disconnect it and rather wait for power to become stable?

Curious to hear your experiences.

Thanks.
