Nice Post.
But my opinion, to Power the raspberry pi with a battery is not the best Option. Onstead using an esp8266 or a wemos d1 mini huzzah. This is less powerconsuming. Support Ing deep sleep to increase the battery time. I think wit a lipo battery you can Power it for a year and with an Solar cell (wird to an cn Solar loader Module) much more:)

Definitely agree! Later on in the post I swap the design to use the ESP8266 for this and other reasons (like not needing Bluetooth)
