Q:
Will you be stocking the updated version with a USB type C connector?
A:
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your question, we currently do not plan to as a lot of the equipment we sell is all USB B. In a few years we might begin to move that way quicker but at the moment a move towards USB C is not something we are looking at.
Best Regards
Cullen

Q:
What voltage do the two rings by the JST connector output to? would it be 5V when plugged into the micro USB and 3.7V when not? or just 3.7-4.2? assuming the battery im using is a 3.7v lipo
Asked by: Corin
A:
Hi Corin, It is likely that the voltage is regulated down to around 3.7V's to charge a LiPo. However in the top corner just above the micro USB connection there are 2 pads which can be used to obtain a 5V, 1A output.

Q:
Hi,
Using a USB Charging cable, If I plug this into a USB Wall Charging Socket which has a 5.1V 2.1A output, would this board regulate the 2.1A down to the required 500ma for charging purposes of the Battery and would it be safe?

Asked by: Roger Squire
A:
Hi Roger, That would be fine, the charger can handle a supply voltage up to 6V and although the wall power supply can supply 2.1A the charging board will only draw the current that is needed and as such will only draw around the 500mA that uses to charge the battery.

Q:
If I had a 3.7V LiPo battery, could I use this charger to attach to the deluxe speaker kit board to power it?
Asked by: Jess
A:
Hi Jess, No this product is just designed to charge the LiPo battery. If you wanted to have it power a circuit as well you would need this product, https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2215-power-cell-lipo-chargerbooster. There is a tutorial about how to connect it up that you can find here, https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/379.

Q:
Would this work with an inserted battery to charge a phone portably, or is it simply to plug into the mains to charge it?
Asked by: Rhys Bargh
A:
Hi Rhys, This product is designed to charge LiPo batteries via the JST connector using a micro USB connector. As such you wouldn’t be able to charge a mobile phone with this device.
