PowerBoost 500 Charger

Post by bssackma »

Two quick questions. 1) Is it possible to power the charger without using the microUSB adapter -- i.e., can I solder in an external +5V regulated power supply to one of the breakout pins -- which breakout pins would I use for +5V and GND in this case? 2) If you solder in the optional switch will the battery continue to charge when you disable the boosted power output?

Thanks for any insight!

For input power (5v) use the USB and GND pins.
The switch controls the boost converter only. So the battery will continue to charge.
