With a beefy 4A DC\/DC converter, it can give you 1A+ from as low as 2V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit have tweaked the output to be 5.2V instead of a straight-up 5.0V so that there's a little bit of 'headroom' 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerBoost 1000 has at the heart a TPS61030 boost converter from TI. This boost converter chip has some really nice extras such as low battery detection, 4A internal switch, synchronous conversion, excellent efficiency, and 700KHz high-frequency operation. Check out these specs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronous operation means you can disconnect the output completely by connecting the ENable pin to ground. This will completely turn off the output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4A internal switch means you can get 1000mA+ from as low as 1.8V, 1500mA+ from 2 NiMH or Alkaline batteries, and at least 2000mA from a 3.7V LiPoly\/LiIon battery or 3 NiMH\/Alkalines. Just make sure your batteries can actually supply the required 2-4A, OK?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow battery indicator LED lights up red when the voltage dips below 3.2V, optimized for the most common usage of LiPo\/LiIon battery usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-board 1000mA charge-rate 'Apple\/iOS' data resistors. Solder in the included USB connector and you can plug in any iPhone or iPod for a speedy 1000mA charge rate. Works with iPads, both mini and 'classic' type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull breakout for battery in, control pins and power out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e90%+ operating efficiency in most cases (see datasheet for efficiency graphs), and low quiescent current: 5mA when enabled and power LED is on, 20uA when disabled (power and low batt LED are off)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat for powering your robot, Arduino project, single-board-computer such as Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone! Each order comes with one fully assembled and tested PCB, a loose 2-PH JST jack, a 2-pin Terminal block and a loose USB A jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are powering your project from USB, solder the USB A jack in (a 3-minute soldering task). Then choose either JST for input (JST is often used for our LiIon batteries, but the connector is only rated for 2A) or a terminal block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1000 version comes with a 2-pin terminal block so you can solder it to the output spot where the USB jack would go. Or don't solder any connectors in for a more compact power pack and go with 22AWG wires soldered directly in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":887314981,"sku":"ADA2030","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/2030.jpg?v=1407411474","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-powerboost-1000-basic-5v-usb-boost-1000ma-from-1-8v","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
