{"title":"PowerBoost 1000 Charger - Rechargeable 5V Lipo USB Boost @ 1A [1000C]","handle":"powerboost-1000-charger-rechargeable-5v-lipo-usb-boost-1a-1000c","url":"/products/powerboost-1000-charger-rechargeable-5v-lipo-usb-boost-1a-1000c","description":"The PowerBoost 1000C is a DC/DC boost converter with a built-in LiPo battery charger and smart load-sharing circuit. It takes any 3.7V LiIon/LiPoly battery and boosts the output to 5.2V for powering 5V projects like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone — even while the battery is charging.\n\nThe load-sharing charger automatically switches to USB power when available, functioning as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The charger is powered via Micro-USB and charges at up to 1,000 mA, with yellow (charging) and green (complete) status LEDs.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nTPS61090 Boost Converter – 5.2V output from 3.7V LiPo, 2A internal switch\n\n1,000 mA+ Output – Sufficient for power-hungry portable projects\n\nSmart Load Sharing – Charge and boost simultaneously without output interruption\n\n1,000 mA LiPo Charger – Via Micro-USB, with charge status LEDs\n\nLow Battery LED – Red indicator when voltage drops below 3.2V\n\nEnable Pin – Completely disconnect output by pulling EN to ground\n\n90%+ Efficiency – 5 mA quiescent when enabled, 20 µA when disabled\n\niOS Data Resistors – On-board 1,000 mA charge-rate resistors for Apple devices\n\n\n\nImportant: A LiPo battery must always be connected to manage load spikes — it is not optional. Use a high-quality 2A USB adapter with thick power wires for charging, especially when drawing high current from the output.\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× PowerBoost 1000C PCB (fully assembled and tested)\n1× USB-A Jack (loose, requires soldering)\n\n\nResources\n\nTPS61090 Boost Converter Datasheet (TI)\nMCP73871 Charger Datasheet (PDF)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":14553,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2465","price":38.92,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
