Pimoroni Pico LiPo Power SHIM for Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W

The Pimoroni Pico LiPo Power SHIM provides a convenient way to power your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W from a LiPo or LiIon battery. With the inbuilt charging circuit, you can recharge the battery by providing power to the Pico's USB port, making it ideal for portable projects.

This compact SHIM solder to the pins on the back of your Pico, allowing you to connect a suitable lithium-ion/polymer battery and transform your Pico into a LiPo-powered device. The SHIM features protection against overdischarge and overcurrent, ensuring safe operation.

Key features include a power button to enable or disable the battery power, two LED indicators—a white LED showing when power is being provided, and a red LED indicating battery charging status.

Important: Use only with LiPo or LiIon batteries and ensure your projects sufficiently protect the battery from physical damage.
