FIELD TESTeed an uninterruptable power
supply for a portable Raspberry Pi
project? How about hot-swappable
capabilities? If so, the PowerBoost
1000C from Adafruit is for you! What
makes this board really useful is the
ability to make a Raspberry Pi portable with a battery
pack, but also have the ability to recharge the system
via an integrated load-sharing battery charger circuit.
The charger circuitry is powered directly from a
micro USB port and will recharge almost any 3.7 V /
4.2 V LiIon or LiPoly battery at a maximum rate of
1000 mA. The board also features a couple of handy
LEDs that will give you feedback about the charging
cycle and power. Portable power is fairly easy with a
simple battery, but being able to charge a LiPo via USB
and never lose power to your Raspberry Pi, which
happens to really hate losing power, is really valuable
and affordable with the PowerBoost 1000C.N
