Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh

Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh info

Lithium ion polymer (also known as 'lipo' or 'lipoly') batteries are thin, light and powerful. The output ranges from 4.2V when completely charged to 3.7V. Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh has a capacity of 500mAh for a total of about 1.9 Wh.

Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh comes pre-attached with a genuine 2-pin JST-PH connector as shown and include the necessary protection circuitry. Since the JST connector is genuine, the cable won’t snag or get stuck in a matching JST jack, they click in and out smoothly.

The included protection circuitry keeps the battery voltage from going too high (over-charging) or low (over-use) which means that the battery will cut-out when completely dead at 3.0V. It will also protect against output shorts. However, even with this protection it is very important that you only use a LiIon/LiPoly constant-voltage/constant-current charger to recharge them and at a rate of 150mA or less. We suggest Adafruit Micro Lipo - USB LiIon/LiPoly Charger - v1, which has a 100mA default rate.

Additional Safety Notes: Do not use a NiMH/NiCad/lead-acid charger! Also, do not abuse these batteries, do not short, bend, crush or puncture. As with all Lithium ion polymer batteries and with any power source - they should be used by experts who are comfortable working with power supplies.
