Adafruit Micro Lipo w/MicroUSB Jack - USB LiIon/LiPoly charger

by Adafruit

Oh so handy, this little lipo charger is so small and easy to use you can keep it on your desk or mount it easily into any project!

Simply plug it via any MicroUSB cable into a USB port and a 3.7V/4.2V lithium polymer or lithium ion rechargeable battery into the JST plug on the other end. There are two LEDs - one red and one green. While charging, the red LED is lit. When the battery is fully charged and ready for use, the green LED turns on. Seriously, it could not get more easy.

Lipo/Lipoly/LiIon Batteries not included, but we've got tons in the shop.

Charging is performed in three stages: first a preconditioning charge, then a constant-current fast charge and finally a constant-voltage trickle charge to keep the battery topped-up. The charge current is 100mA by default, so it will work with any size battery and USB port. If you want you can easily change it over to 500mA mode by soldering closed the jumper on the front, for when you'll only be charging batteries with 500mAh size or larger.

  • Comes assembled and tested with a free bonus JST cable!
  • 5V input via Micro-B USB connector
  • For charging single Lithium Ion/Lithium Polymer 3.7/4.2v batteries (not for older 3.6/4.1v cells)
  • 100mA charge current, adjustable to 500mA by soldering a jumper closed

Awesome case. Simple to put together, protects well and great value.

so far i'm loving this case, i did try to fit the pi0-2w into my pi0 case and i had to break a piece off the case - much better to get a case designed for the pi0-2w. It has a nice set colours and it shows the pi0-2w in all it's tiny/funcional glory

Nice quality with clear instructions. It was pretty easy to get the protective film off and the addition of a thin shim makes the board sit even nicer than in the original Pibow

Quality little case. And it's purple. What more do you need? Well, easy access to the SD card but other than that it's all good.

Nice little enclosure to keep the Zero out of "shorting range" of other stuff on your desk ;)

It's a case for the Pi Zero 2 W. Like all the Pibow cases - well designed and made. Nothing more to say other than efficient and fast shipping from a reliable supplier.

Fits the Zero perfectly, would be even better if you could access the SD card, however you still gain full access to the GPIO pins, which is a massive plus

Everything is fine, just waiting for a Pi Zero 2 W to come into stock

An excellent, colourful way to protect your Pi Zero 2. Very easy to construct. You do need to take it apart to replace the micro SD card, but that doesn't take long.

Works great, assembly makes sense if you check the website first for instructions!

Great new pibow. With blue and indigo. I really like this pi zerow2 case. I have the 1.2 pi zero bloue pibow; the pibow pi zero 1.3 camera accommodating orange case case and now this beautiful indigo & blue one. These look great!
