Despite the simplicity to directly powering the Pico from a battery or a Lipo, there is also some interest to use specialized charging/discharging circuitery.

== Using ==
== How-To Power Pico ==
The Pico can be powered:
* Via the USB : so with 5V
* Via the VSYS pin : with battery having max 5.5V
* With a Battery Charger/discharge circuitery
The Pico can be easily shutdown by placing the 3V3_EN pin to the ground.
This will deactivate the Pico 3.3V DC/DC regulator and spare the battery power.
== Pico and PowerBoost ==
ENG-CANSAT-PICO-POWERING
The Adafruit PowerBoost 500 is a breakout board able:
* to discharge a Lipo battery and generates 5V output
* to charge the Lipo battery when connected to an external 5V power
* to do the both operations at the same time.
