# USB Peripherals

In order to extend the robot runtime, in addition to the the 12_V motors board battery, a second USB power bank is used to power the Raspberry Pi 5 and its USB peripherals.

The Raspberry Pi 5 could draw 5V@5A profile, but the max a USB power bank can deliver @5V is 5V@4.5A which is not a big difference. We also notice that if we power the USB Hub, we can fully cover the maximum power the Raspberry Pi 5 could draw.
32+
33+
* Without drawing power from the Pi USB, it runs at 3 W when idle and could reach a max theoretical of 15 W
34+
* Weger Power Bank 20000 mAh can deliver 22.5 W and has 5V@4.5A on x2 USB outpus and 5V@3A on USB-C
35+
* Acer USB-3 Hub draws the USB profile 5V@2.5A so a theoretical of 12.5W but in practice ~ 5.2 W would be needed
