powerboost 1000c

Post by djglados »

i have a powerboost 1000c, im unable to get the battery i originally intended and am going to the 6600mah lipo. my issue is heat, it will be in a enclosed unit padded tight, in a heavy black fabric. i see the posts about it getting hot and that worries me, can i use this chip with the 6600mah, will it be safe?

The heat dissipated by the boost controller depends on the load more than the battery. How much current will you be drawing from it?
