Nowadays, many electronic devices can be USB powered, but most of the battery's output voltage is not 5V or USB devices friendly. With this booster, you can create a DIY power bank and power up your USB devices, for example, your smartphone, or Arduino boards :)
This module is able to boost input voltage from 1V until 5V and output to a stable 5V output via a standard USB A socket. With maximum output current of 600mA.
So you can use the following combination of battery to get 5VDC from this module
Single Cell AA or AAA battery (typical voltage of 1.5V)
Two Cells of AA or AAA battery in series (typical voltage of 3.0V)
Single Cell rechargeable AA or AAA, NiMH(typical voltage of 1.2V)
Two Cells of rechargeable AA or AAA, NiMH battery in series (typical voltage of 2.4V)
Single Cell Lipo or Li-ion battery (typical voltage of 3.7V)
Note: From our test, 600mA can only be achieved if the input voltage is near to 5V, for example, 3.7V from Lipo or Li-ion battery.
Features:
Switching Boost Module
Power Indicator LED
Wide input voltage: 1V to 5VDC
Stable 5V output with USB A-type receptor/receptor, or female socket
Support a wide variety of batteries type and connections:
Single AA battery power supply can output current up to 200~300mA
