Option A: Direct connection to a powerbank

A powerbank such as Anker power 10,000 can be used to 
power  your  wildlife  cam  kit  by  directly  connecting  to  the 
Raspberry Pi by a micro USB cable.

Option B: Using a Lipo Rider

 (got to next page)

The LiPo Rider board allows you to connect power to your 
wildlife  cam  kit.  It  boosts  and  regulates  the  power  from 
the  rechargeable  battery  with  a  RJT  connection  to  the  
Raspberry  Pi.  It  allows  the  battery  to  be  charged  using  a  
micro USB charger and use solar  power.
