Couldn't load pickup availability
The PowerBoost 500C is the perfect power supply for your portable projects, providing a convenient and efficient solution for powering your electronics on the go. It includes a built-in battery charger circuit, allowing you to recharge the battery while keeping your project running. This DC/DC boost converter module can be powered by any 3.7V LiIon or LiPoly battery, and converts the battery output to 5.2V DC, making it ideal for powering 5V projects such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone.
Key Features:
- 5.2V Output: Provides 5.2V output for better performance with long cables, high current draws, and added components like diodes.
- Efficient TPS61090 Boost Converter: Features a 2A internal switch and synchronous operation for excellent efficiency (~90%) and low quiescent current.
- Battery Charging & Boosting Simultaneously: Charge and power your project at the same time without interruption, making it perfect for "UPS" (uninterrupted power supply) use.
- Low Battery Indicator: Red LED lights up when the battery voltage drops below 3.2V.
- iOS-Compatible Charging: Includes 500mA iOS data resistors for charging iPhones and iPods at a safe rate via USB.
- MicroUSB Charging Circuit: Onboard charger powered by microUSB for recharging 3.7V LiIon or LiPoly batteries at up to 500mA.
- Compatible with LiPoly Batteries: Works exclusively with LiPoly/LiIon batteries, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Additional Features:
- Control Pins: Full breakout for battery input, control pins, and power output.
- Soldering Options: Option to solder a USB jack for USB-powered projects or use a terminal block for a compact solution.
- Charging and Boosting Simultaneously: Charge and run your project without disruption, as the output remains stable while the battery is charging.
Each order comes with a fully assembled and tested PowerBoost 500C, plus a loose USB A jack for easy integration into your project. Please note, a LiPoly or LiIon battery is required but not included. Ideal for powering robots, Arduino projects, or single-board computers like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone.
