powering rapsberry pi with battery + powerboost 500 basic, how to charge the battery?
Hello! Im trying to power my raspberry pi 3b with a 3.7v lipo battery and an adafruit powerboost 500 basic, and i cannot understand how to connect a charger to the powerboost. I have a separate charger (https://www.fruugo.se/type-c-usb-c-tp40 ... swQAvD_BwE) that i need to connect to the powerboost 500 basic module. Where do i connect it? there have to be a way to charge the battery together with the powerboost?

You need to remove the battery to charge it.
The PowerBoost 500C and 1000C have a builtin charger. To recharge the battery with those you just have to connect the USB connector.
