Taken a slice of the pi

Does anyone know if I can power the pi off a tablet battery and charge it up etc so I can make it fully portable? I'm connecting it to an external battery at the moment which is fine but not perfect.

Battery is a battery. As long as it can provide the proper voltage and has enough amps to run for decent length of time.

Yeah but I need to know how to do it. I want to try to connect a tablet battery. Do I need another board so I can charge it etc? I want to be able to charge it and then disconnect the wall charger and then go full mobile

Scrap that idea. Can't be arsed wiring this up. I've realised after doing a bit of research that obviously whatever power supply you choose, you're always supplying a constant power to the pi. This means that unless you find a switch off board or do some fancy soldering you're always gonna have to pull the plug when it's shut down. This is what I do anyway and just shut it down via the built in menu
