500mAh 3.7V LiPo Battery

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.

We have many other battery options in our Power section, including chargers! These batteries are also available in 1200mAh and 2000mAh capacities.

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
