Product description
LiPo SHIM, charger and power supply module for Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico 2. Mounts directly onto the pins on the underside of the Pico board and enables operation from a single 3.6/3.7 V LiPo or Li-Ion cell. This makes it easy to build portable and standalone projects with minimal additional hardware. The integrated charging circuit allows the battery to be charged via the Pico’s USB port. The charging circuit includes protection against deep discharge and overcurrent to improve battery lifetime and safety. An onboard power switch allows the battery to be connected or disconnected. Two LED indicators show charging status and when the SHIM is supplying power to the Pico.
The SHIM board is designed with as low a profile as possible, making it easy to use the Pico together with expansion boards. Installation requires soldering.
