Adafruit Powerboost 500 Charger - Rechargeable 5V Lipo Usb Boost 500Ma+ [Ada1944]

PowerBoost 500C is the perfect power supply for your portable project! With a built-in battery charger circuit, you'll be able to keep your project running even while recharging the battery! This little DC/DC boost converter module can be powered by any 3.7V LiIon/LiPoly battery, and convert the battery output to 5.2V DC for running your 5V projects. If you need a 1A battery charger, smart load-sharing, and1A iOS resistors, check out the Powerboost 1000C Like our popular 5V 1A USB wall adapter , we tweaked the output to be 5.2V instead of a straight-up 5.0V so that there's a little bit of 'headroom' for long cables, high draw, the addition of a diode on the output if you wish, etc. The 5.2V is safe for all 5V-powered electronics like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone while preventing icky brown-outs during high current draw because of USB cable resistance. The PowerBoost 500C has at the heart a TPS61090 boost converter from TI . This boost converter chip has some really nice extras such as low battery detection, 2A internal switch, synchronous conversion, excellent efficiency, and 700KHz high-frequency operation. Check out these specs!Synchronous operation means you can disconnect the output completely by connecting the ENable pin to ground. This will completely turn off the output2A internal switch (~2.5A peak limiting) means you can get 500mA+ from a 3.7V LiPoly/LiIon battery. We had no problem drawing 1000mA, just make sure your battery can handle it!Low battery indicator LED lights up red when the voltage dips below 3.2V, optimized for LiPo/LiIon battery usageOnboard 500mA charge-rate 'iOS' data resistors. Solder in the USB connector and you can plug in any iPhone or iPod for 500mA charge rate. Not suggested for large iPads.Full breakout for battery in, control pins and power out90%+ operating efficiency in most cases (
