Hi @Ben274124 , Welcome to the Forums!!!
There is a UPS Base for the Pi 5 available but it won’t fit in the case.
In terms of power banks, We currently don’t stock one that has the required 5V 5A output needed for the Pi 5. The closest we have is this 3.6A one but it will trigger the lower power mode on the Pi 5.
Thanks for the quick respsonse! Can both also drive the 7 inch pi lcd?

The USP Base shouldn’t have any issues driving the display and the Pi but the battery bank is below spec so I can’t guarantee that it will.
Given the cost of the 18650 batteries and the hat and a hat case, might as well put up with lugging this beast aroind in a bum bag instead;

I would say that is a good solution but having a look at its specifications it can only do 5V 3A which doesn’t meet the Pi’s 5V 5A requirements.
The Pi 5 does require a bit of a specialised power supply unfortunately.
hi @Ben274124 - this is the specs I find when i follow your link and open the datasheet pdf
So the 10V 6.5A usb-a mode would run the Pi 5 and 7" LCD without triggering low power mode? Or the 5A usb-c modes?
The Pi 5 is a 5V only device, so you will be constrained by the 5V rating of the power supply
Thanks for your patience. Do you have a case for?;
I’m afraid not @Ben274124 - though we have plenty of DIY enclosures in the enclosures category .
Here’s a nice large polycarbonate one for some inspiration
