Alternative to power boost 500/1000?

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi, 

My name is Jared and I am looking at doing the PiGirl project from adarfruit but I'm am alternating it so I  can play GBA games(more buttons).

I was hoping to save money as I am 14. (I live in Australia). Would this board -http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Li-ion-Lithium-Battery-Charger-Module-Li-LED-Charging-5V-1A-Mini-USB-Board-/172072056818?hash=item28104b37f2:g:2AAAAOSwa-dWocrp work the same as the power boost 500 from Adarfruit? If so how would I wire it up?

Thankyou heaps in advance, Jared

    For the ebay iten:

    Micro USB 5V 1A Lithium Battery Charging


    1. Charge module- Linear charging.
    2. Current- 1A adjustable.
    3. Charge precision- 1.5%.
    4. Input voltage- 4.5V-5.5V.
    5. Full charge voltage- 4.2V.
    6. Led indicator- red is charging Green is full charged.
    7. Input interface- Micro USB.
    8. Work temperature- -10℃ to +85℃.
    9. Inversed polarity- NO.
    10.Size- small to 25X19X10mm.

     

    Just comparing to the adafruit, I see major differences. But you do not say what your project looks like. So it may or may not matter for you.
