Overview

PowerBoost is the perfect power supply for your power-hungry portable project! This little

DC/DC boost converter module can run from 1.8V batteries or higher, and convert that

voltage to 5.2V DC for running your 5V projects. With a beefy 4A DC/DC converter, it can

give you 1A+ from as low as 2V.

Like our popular 5V 1A USB wall adapter (http://adafru.it/duP), we tweaked the output to be

5.2V instead of a straight-up 5.0V so that there's a little bit of 'headroom' long cables, high

draw, the addition of a diode on the output if you wish, etc. The 5.2V is safe for all 5V-

powered electronics like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone while preventing icky brown-

outs during high current draw because of USB cable resistance.
