Solar Charger w/o MintyBoost?

Post by D_Vee »

I bought a solar panel, solar charger, and LiPo not realizing that I needed another charger in order to charge a phone (or anything 5v). I was wondering if I could use the "PowerBoost 500 Basic" (#1903). Its cheaper and seems to be exactly what I need.

Also, I just wanted to make sure that the micro USB is for charging the battery and not the other way around. Thanks in advance.

It should work. The micro is the input and the type A is the output.
