Screen powering problems

I'm doing a Wii U build like the first one from banjokazooie with a Pi3. If I power everything off the batteries, I get extremely bad image quality with flickering. Connecting the screen to a different power source fixes the problem! From banjo kazooies build, I take that the entire system should draw around 1.8A.

Parts used:
Screen
2 x Batteries (Can handle 6A each :-O)
Powerboost 1000 basic (Should deliver ~2A at 3.7V)
LiIon Charger (Should have no problem with ~2A?)
Pi 3

One thing to notice is that I connected the batteries via the JST connector that came bundeled with the charging board. It has very thin wires... Throughout the rest of the build I use 0.5mm copper wire which should be fine.

So what could be the problem here? The thin cables?

Ok I gave it a thorough charge and now it works :roll:

Code: Select all

void main(args n stuff) {
	if(! stupid) {
		think();
		tinker();
	}
	askOnSudoMod();
}
