when using a pass through powerbank as a UPS for rpi4, would it reboot
in case of power cut?

if i use a passthrough powerbank instead of an actual ups board for
rpi4 because they are unreasonably expensive. i understand that they
have to be custom made or whatever. will it reboot when power moves
from the electricity to powerbank?

my use case does not involve any requirements for making pi run on
battery for long times.

Its simply to prevent pi from rebooting because there are frequent
power cuts of short periods.

i am sorry if this question has been answered already. i tried looking
but didnt find an exact answer.

Why not ask /r/raspberry_pi for example? This has nothing to do with
selfhosting software services.

No it doesnt. Youre asking about a powerbank reboot a raspi.

Youre not asking anything about Plex or other selfhosted software.

Hahahaha...

But this sub is about selfhosted **software services**... simply look
at the sidebar of the sub and the wiki description etc.
