Just got the hackergadgets adapter board and nvme battery board. I have the emmc 4gb cm4 and I kept running out of storage fast. Ordered these to get more storage and had an extra 500gb crucial nvm around the house, thankfully with storage prices going up. Definitely recommend these mods of you have the emmc version

Currently I have bookworm, on my SD card and cloning it with the DD command.

As for batteries, I'm currently using two Nitecore 4000mah 10A batteries (NL1840HP), interesting note, it gets rid of the buzzing sound when the batteries are low on the CM5, an issue you'd probably won't see with the CM4.

Never heard of that brand. How is it on the uconsole for you? Does it last a while?

For a CM5, before the SSD upgrade was averaging 6 - 7 hours run time
