## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do i need this to charge this battery? http://www.amazon.com/battery-packs-lithium-polymer-1200mah/dp/b00j2qet64/ref=pd_bxgy_147_3?ie=utf8&refrid=0054**
A: Short answer: yes.Better answer: you only need this one specifically if you also need the 5v converter, 1A charging, and/or the smart load sharing (i.e. wall-power the device while charging). If literally the only thing you need to do is charge the LiPo battery you linked, you can get away with something simpler like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OKJFEQ2/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1456436852&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=adafruit+lipo+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=51HFAGe2AqL&ref=plSrch

**Q: Does this product come with the USB port or do you need to buy a separate one and solder it on?**
A: It comes with one but it is not soldered on.

**Q: Does this come with a battery?**
A: No, this is just the board, you can find batteries by looking for 3.7 volt lipos

**Q: Will this charge the lipo battery through the USB port?**
A: Yes. I am using my board to charge Adafruit 328 Battery (lipo 2500mAh). Micro USB port to charge the battery.

    This thing is deceptively awesome

    I used this for my piscore mini arcade project.  I tried not to, and wasted a bunch of money because I didn't understand how awesome this is.The thing I learned (I started out with no knowlege on this, so far from an expert) is that battery charging requires a few things...you have to have protection to not overcharge the battery, it's ideal to have 'use while charging' (pass through), it's nice to have a way to switch the power on/off, and it's nice to be able to source enough power off of the batteries.  Finally many batteries are at 3.7volts and I wnated something that I could output 5volts from.I tried quite a few different approaches to solve this, using parts from china off of various sites, and alternatives. I always ended up needing another part, and they never worked together well. Also having a way to turn the device fully on/off kept causing me problems...many of the solutions wouldn't do it effectively. I wanted to turn the power from the charging circuit to the game system off, but still be able to charge the system.This does ALL of that.  It's super simple...you have a JST connector (two pin with a plastic connector (molex) that makes it easy to connect a battery).  They also provide terminals as well.  There are terminals for the load, and they have a place to put a 2 or 3 pin switch.Everything is documented very well on adafruits site.  I"ve used adafruit stuff for ages, and they have always delivered a quality product.  I love their stuff.  I never doubted the quality of this, I just thought the price was high. After trying a bunch of differnet solutions, I realized the price of this is correct for having one small board do it all, and do it with quality.In the end, I should've started with this, I just didn't understand how many differnet common charging problems it solves. Most portable builds I see use this, and now I know why. In the end I think I blew 120 USD trying different solutions to beat this, and none of them came close.  Great product.

    Great product!  Just know what you're buying.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017*

This thing works great.  There are a couple of things:  If you don't want your voltage to drop as the battery levels drop (which causes the voltage that it puts OUT to drop...) hook up to the 5V pin.  It's on a regulator, and I at least have gotten a nice, steady 5v from it whether it's plugged in or not.  For another, it WILL get hot.  This is a fairly small part.  It runs at LEAST 1000mA when charging.  It WILL get hot.  Be prepared for that.Other than that, I don't think there's anything shocking.  There are a lot of ways to hook this up, and a lot that can be done with it.  Wire up a SPDT switch between Vs, EN, and Gnd, and you switch the supply on/off.  For charging i-products, solder on the USB header that comes with it.  It's chunky, so it's not soldered on for you automatically.  Note this will NOT work if just placed.  You're going to have to solder it.  (Yes, this will charge iPads too)Do you need this?  Well, if you're using bigger LiPoly batteries and you don't want them to take forever, then yeah, it'd be nice.  If you want to run your project while charging the battery?  Then yes.  The load-balancing on this thing is great.  If you just want to charge a 500mAh LiPoly?  No, this is overkill, and will probably kill your battery.
