   Find a powerbank that doesn't need you to push On and allows simultaneous charging. I have a neat Xiaomi 10Ah that would work in theory at least.

     @netmackan Maybe you can just solder a large enough capacitor to the 5V rail on the #RaspberryPi and hope it handles the drop? Maybe a 5V "supercap" would be a enough.

     @netmackan I bet you could fit it onto the GPIO: https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pin2_5v_power https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-4-gpio-setup/the-gpio-connector (not sure if they switched position of the GPIO in future revisions).

     @m0n5t3r Don't powerbanks tend to have a practical output limit due to internal resistance etc? So they shouldn't trip a fuse.
     
     That assumes the power doesn't come straight from the charging source while connected to the mains though.
