Alternative power Manager

[cpeb]

does anyone know if this would work as it has 2 outputs, one to the batt and another labeled out

or this

Thanks in advance

the generic/banggood or adafruit are the best options.....

if cost is an issue go for the generic/bangood.... only real difference is things like low batt led and lack of brand

if cost is not an issue go for adafruit 1000c has all the bells and whistles


these two are tried and tested

I have ordered several of these for other projects. I think I pay about 60 cents shipped though. I get most of my stuff from aliexpress.

Managed to buy the 1000 basic (newb) the banggood one is out of stock at the min but will probably go for the 1000c as you said it has everything

Cheers for the reply much appreciated

Have you managed to use it in GBZ project? without issues and able to charge and play at the same time

Thanks

I have not. I don't see why it would not work though. You will just be using 2 boards instead of one.

a little more than usual (normally less than $3) but still very cheap

This looks like it would work also:

or this one

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-7-V-L ... 0.0.jVmkJ7

or a 2AMP board

i'd scrap the other two and go for the middle one (you found it slightly cheaper then i did)

its a board alot of people have used, there no point trying to reinvent the wheel (you may have issues)

even though the first one doesnt look that bad if your gonna use an 18650 set (maybe good for the wii u gamepad)
