[SOLVED] Could I run a pi 5 on a 2A 12v(stepped down) battery pack?

I'm only looking to get about 2 hours of use without using any of the ports except both cameras and fan.

The pi 5 needs 5V 5A to run

I just realized that I'm stupid and don't need to use less batteries lmao

Thanks for the help

This is an answer that is hard to answer. The idle power consumption is 3,5 watts for a 8GB and 2,7 Watts for a 2GB version. And with stress testing people have measured values around 8-10 Watts for a Pi 5. Conclusion: It depends on what you have running in the OS, what hardware version you have and what external hardware you have connected (USB(HDMI device). Little reading that could give you a hint on why your question doesn't have one answer : https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/08/27/comparison-of-raspberry-pi-5-with-2gb-and-8gb-ram-hardware-benchmarks-and-power-consumption/

Thanks, I'll definitely read up on this and post my results once I get testing
