The {{pl|534|Adafruit PowerBoost 500}} is a breakout board able:
 +
* to discharge a Lipo battery to generates 5V output (500mA max)
 +
* to charge the Lipo battery when connected to an external 5V supply
 +
* to do the both operations at the same time.
 +
 
 +
The great thing about the PowerBoost is that it can use the Pico VBUS to recharge the Lipo. So, no need of an external power connexion to refill the Lipo (just plug you Pico to an USB Power source).

All of this have been adressed with great details in the '''Pico Powering''' section.
