The Powerboost 1000C was working fine with an Adafruit LiPo 2500mAH battery (blue and yellow LEDs lit as battery was charging).
Within an hour of use with PI zero (while plugged in to wall) the charger got hot to the touch (too hot to hold) on the backside and by the USB terminal. The red LED flashes and the blue LED is extremely dim. The battery was able to charge and is 3.9v when unplugged.

Re: Powerboost 1000C not working
Can you post pictures of the powerboost connected to a power supply or the pi?

The does not boot when connected. The 5v gpio pins on the pi are only reading 1v when connected to the Powerboost, the 5v connections on the charger are only reading 1v as well. The Pi does boot and read 5v when plugged into the wall.
