Review on SparkFun LYSB0195QO21W ELECTRNCS LiPower Shield by Peter Sullivan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy, defective design

This board will fry onboard components when the battery is on AND you have an Arduino USB connector plugged into the host computer. You will effectively tie the 5V rails together, there is no switching on the board. That seems pretty easy to me. There is a blog that covers this and other board topics in detail. save your money

Pros
  • Mini USB connector
Cons
  • Minor issues
