Gumstix Raspberry Pi Zero Battery Board 
Designed by Gumstix in Geppetto, the Raspberry Pi Zero Battery IMU board allows you to take your Raspberry Pi Zero anywhere. Simply pop in two rechargeable NiMH or NiCd batteries into the holder and you’re ready to go anywhere with you Raspberry Pi Zero. Charging the batteries is as easy as plugging in your Raspberry Pi Zero using a USB cable, as per usual. With the onboard Bosch BMI160 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope you can easily track motion. Add a camera to enable totally wireless video streaming.
