Overview

PowerBoost is the perfect power supply for your portable project! (http://adafru.it/dFq)This

little DC/DC boost converter module can run from 1.8V batteries or higher, and convert that

voltage to 5.2V DC for running your 5V projects. Like our popular 5V 1A USB wall

adapter (http://adafru.it/duP), we tweaked the output to be 5.2V instead of a straight-up 5.0V

so that there's a little bit of 'headroom' for long cables, high draw, the addition of a diode on

the output if you wish, etc. The 5.2V is safe for all 5V-powered electronics like Arduino,

Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone while preventing icky brown-outs during high current draw

because of USB cable resistance.
