## Description

What's a project if it's trapped on your desk? Now you can take your Arduino anywhere you wish with the PowerBoost shield! This stackable shield goes onto your Arduino and provides a slim rechargeable power pack, with a built in battery charger as well as DC/DC booster. Compatible with Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega, Leonardo and Due - basically any Arduino-pinout-shaped Arduino as only the GND and 5V pins are used. You can stack shields on top, or stack the PowerBoost on top. Please note that the powerboost does not pass through the ICSP headers (the battery is in the way) so if your stacking shield uses ICSP for data transfer (like the Ethernet Shield), you'll need to stack the PowerBoost above it!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Does exactly what I wanted
  

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016*

Using it with the Arduino Uno and Adafruit Motorshield. Works as advertised. I wanted my device to behave as a cell phone would (use it on battery, and use it while plugged in charging). It does just that. Setup was quick and easy. I like that it came with an on/off switch, instead of having to unclip the battery every time you want the device off. This made it a lot easier than having to build a charging circuit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for field testing IoT sensors
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016*

Ideal for Arduino projects. Perfectly fits a number of 1200 & 1600mAh batteries I had. Affixed with 1 drop of glue. Recharge works well & has different colored LEDs to show charge stays, nice touch there. I use this on wireless pro type sensors & can get a few days out of LoRaWAN shields + sensors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Self sufficient sustainable power will help make America great again.

Worked well I now have solar powered Arduino.  Self sufficient sustainable power will help make America great again.
