When starting out with your Raspberry Pi there is a chance that you will run into a low voltage warning. This warning is letting you know that your Raspberry Pi is suffering from undervoltage and may not operate as intended.
Simply put, the Pi is not being delivered enough power. This lack of power means the CPU and other components can both underperform and perform erratically.
Typically you will only run into these issues when using a non-official power supply with your Raspberry Pi. This is because the Pi’s have fairly tight power requirements that most USB chargers will not satisfy.
