Review on πŸ’‘ Adafruit PowerBoost 500 Basic - Efficient 5V USB Boost @ 500mA from 1.8V+ [ADA1903] by Luis Despain

doesn't last. suitable for single board computers

My project took about 5 minutes and worked fine. Then it burned out and stopped working. My battery still works great with a power amp I bought direct from the Adafruit website. My project still works when I connect my Arduino with a USB cable, so it didn't break anything but itself. My project only uses about 30mAh, so I didn't overload this device in any way. The battery I used was the official battery from the Adafruit website. Battery 3.7V 2500mAh.
