Mini Boost DC-DC Module from 3,7V to 12V for LiPo Battery

Description

What it is

The Boost Mini DC-DC from 3.7V to 12V is an electronic circuit that allows the voltage of a lithium battery (LiPo) to be increased to 5V, 8V, 9V, or 12V.

Features

• Input Voltage: 3.7V
• Output Voltage: 5V / 8V / 9V / 12V
• SKU: ARD0011915
• Price: 1.97 €

What it is for

This module is ideal for powering electronic devices that require a higher voltage than what is provided by a lithium battery. For example, it can be used to power DC motors, high-power LEDs, or other devices that require a higher output voltage. It is compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

Tutorial: How to Use Boost Mini DC-DC
