LiPo SHIM (formerly known as Zero LiPo) aims to give you the most compact Raspberry Pi power supply possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can either solder the 0.8mm thick PCB directly onto the GPIO pins on your Pi for a permanent solution, or solder on the provided 2x6 0.1\" female header which will allow you to remove your Zero LiPo at any time (but will block the GPIO pins).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use the TPS61232 step-up boost converter from Texas Instruments that offers up to 96% efficiency. The board includes power on and battery low indicator LEDs. During shutdown (due to under-voltage or external selection) the quiescent current is just 15uA sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/magpi-issues\/MagPi51.pdf\"\u003eThe MagPi\u003c\/a\u003e described LiPo SHIM as \u003cem\u003e\"a slick bit of kit\"\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\"a great option for providing safe power for a portable project\"\u003c\/em\u003e in their four star review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a battery?
