This is overall an issue with using AAA batteries, the internal resistance is too high to supply much current. I have had similar issues when running a subwoofer because it draws a lot of current
Thanks for explaining @whatwareweb! I wonder if creating a lipo adaptor board would work...
It is possible to connect a li-ion/lipo battery directly in place of the pre-existing AAA cells because the battery voltage is fed directly into the Pico's VSYS which can take anywhere from 1.8-5.5v. (max li-ion 4.2v) Just make sure the battery has a protection circuit, to prevent under discharge.
When I have non-full batteries and run a large game on my sprig via battery power, it consistently freezes. However, if I plug the sprig in via USB, it works flawlessly.
The game that is currently crashing my sprig is attached below:
