LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries are a great way to power your portable projects (ideal for the Adafruit Feather!). Compared to other battery chemistries they're more compact, lighter and offer a consistent voltage output (rather than constantly dropping like other types!). They also offer higher rates of discharge which is ideal for high-power projects.
This LiPo battery has a capacity of 500mAh (3.7V) with a 2-pin JST-PH 2mm connector on a 100mm cable. ideal for small projects and wearables!
The batteries include internal protection against over-charging or under-voltage, which makes the battery out at around 3V. You should still use a dedicated LiPo charger with protection built-in - we recommend the Adafruit Micro Lipo as it has a convenient USB tail, a safe charge rate and a three-stage battery conditioning/charge cycle.
Lithium Battery Shipping: Due to courier restrictions, this product can only be shipped within England/Wales. With this item in your cart, your shipping options will be limited to DHL. Why?
Always Check Polarity!
Not all devices follow the same polarity so always (always!) double-check the LiPo battery port polarity on your device before connecting a battery. If the polarity (+ and -) is different to the battery, consider switching the JST connector wires over.
Lithium Care
Important! Lithium batteries require careful storage and usage, and must only be charged/discharged within the ratings listed. Please only consider purchasing this item if you have the knowledge and equipment to use and maintain these batteries properly. If you accidentally damage (bend/pierce/crush/dent) these batteries, stop using them immediately and dispose of them safely and responsibly.
Never carry loose batteries – they should be suitably boxed/protected at all times when not in use
Do not short batteries
Always use a battery charger or circuit board charging module specifically designed for Lithium batteries (such as the Micro Lipo)
Do not use a NiMH/NiCad/lead-acid charger with these batteries!
Never leave a battery charger unattended
Never completely discharge batteries
All batteries should be checked for damage regularly
Do not expose to extremes of heat or cold, or sudden fluctuations between the two
Always dispose of end-of-life batteries at your local WEEE recycling centre
