Sent to early... this can easily run on any old phone charger. If you want
to add battery it gets once again more complex. Yes, there are LiPos that 
will easily power it for a day - I haven't read up on whether the C.H.I.P can
charge those when connected to power or whether you need to disconnect
and charge the battery by itself
