Is it possible to connect two batteries to this? I only see one input. I have two 2500mAh lipos free right now.

I'm fairly certain you'd need a BMS to balance charge the cells, the tp4056 only supports charging one cell, Helder please correct me if I'm wrong.

This was intended for one battery, if you do connect more than 1 battery and something is damaged in the process that is on you and I will not replace damaged goods caused by improper use of the PSU.

On a note to this question what battery boost board has ever taken more than 1 input? If you can't think of one then neither can I and this is not supported in my board.

What a great build!

I would love to merge over to your boards. Just some questions: you mentioned earlier in the thread that there is no LBO equivalent (to the powerboost). Are there equivalent connections to the USB and Bat connectors on the PowerBoost. I understand this is a different product etc, it is just that me and my brother have created a safe shutdown/full power off PCB we would love to continue using.

Thanks again for an amazing board!

From what I understand you are asking if there is a battery input and 5v output? If so yes to both.

Hi. Can someone tell me if I can use the psu without a battery.
as it were a normal powerboost.
If so, what is the optimal input voltage so the psu gives the 3.5A

Input from a charger should be 5v, I put from a battery should be 3.7v

ok thank you, but what about with the unpluged battery?
The Plan is, a little Switch between the psu and the Battery.
when the switch is "off", I only play on the external psu.
and "on" I charge the battery.
so that Helders psu doesnt have to load and play at the same time.
