GPStar Power Boost USB-C

This GPStar Power Boost USB-C is an ultra low input voltage boost converter that has the ability to provide power for a variety of solutions. With an input voltage range of 0.5V up to 5.5V, it can convert your low voltage power from a typical 3V to 3.7V lithium ion battery to 5V with up to 6 amps. When operating the power boost with a 5V battery, it will act in pass-through mode.

The GPStar Power Boost USB-C also has a USB-C charging port to charge your connected lithium ion battery or to power the system at the same time. With 2 LED indicators to indicate your battery charge status.
