PowerBoost 1000 Charger

PowerBoost 1000 Charger - Rechargeable 5V Lipo USB Boost @ 1A : I ordered
two of these. One has a white battery connector. within seconds of
plugging in a 6600mAh li battery the board heats up the a point of burning
fingers. The PWR light comes on and i dont know what to do. I know you guys
test these before shipping, but i seems this one may have had a deeper issue.
The other one "with a black battery connector" i ordered has no issues.

What part of the board is heating up? Can you post a photo of the problem board?

Your google drive requires a sign-in. Please post the photo here in the forums.
You can use the "Add The File" button under the edit window.
There is a 1 meg size limit. 800x600 generally works best.

Also - please indicate which part of the board is getting hot.

the back side of the board is extremely hot to the touch but seems to radiate from this chip

[adafruit_support_bill]

That is the boost converter chip. Is there anything connected to the output of the board when you are testing it?

[starfury000]

Nothing. Just the 6600mAh battery supplied by u guys which works fine w the other 1000c
