## Description

The Adafruit LiIon/LiPoly Charger BFF is a compact battery charging add-on designed to mount directly onto the back of any QT Py board. It makes portable power simple — plug in a standard 3.7 V/4.2 V lithium battery, and the charger handles the rest via the QT Py's USB-C connection. When USB is connected, the charger tops up your battery at up to 200 mA (yellow LED indicates charging). When USB is removed, battery power feeds through a Schottky diode to the 5 V rail. A built-in slide switch lets you turn power on and off, and a voltage divider on pin A2 lets your firmware detect whether the board is running from USB or battery. Key Features 200 mA Charge Rate – Charges single-cell 3.7 V/4.2 V LiPo/LiIon batteries via USB-C Automatic Power Switching – Schottky diode routes battery power to 5 V rail when USB is disconnected On/Off Switch – Built-in slide switch for power control Battery Monitoring – Voltage divider on A2 pin for detecting USB vs battery power mode Charging Indicator – Yellow LED lights during active charging BFF Form Factor – Solders directly onto the back of any QT Py for a compact stack Ideal For Making any QT Py project portable with battery power Wearable electronics requiring rechargeable batteries IoT sensor nodes with battery backup Compact prototypes needing USB charging capability Package Contents 1× Adafruit LiIon/LiPoly Charger BFF (assembled and tested) Headers for soldering to QT Py Warning: For use with Adafruit LiPo/LiIon batteries only (3.7 V/4.2 V). Do not use with older 3.6 V/4.1 V cells or batteries with different chemistry, polarity, or pinout. Batteries and QT Py board sold separately.
