Can I power PiFi from a power bank and use it portably?

Quick question — can PiFi run off a normal USB power bank? I’d like to make it portable so I can carry it around and have the hotspot working without needing to plug into the wall.

Has anyone tried this before? If so, what size power bank do you recommend and roughly how long does it last? Just wondering if it’s practical for a few hours of use.

Cheers!

You can! I use Anker PowerCore (26800 mAh) and use it sort of as a wireless drive with Infuse app

Works very well
