	&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; If you need to charge LiPo batteries, this simple charger will do just that, and do it fast! The USB LiPo Charger is a basic charging circuit that allows you to charge 3.7V LiPo cells at a rate of 500mA or 100mA per hour. It is designed to charge single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries. Check the datasheet below to see if it will work with your battery.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;


	The board incorporates a charging circuit, status LED, selectable solder jumper for 500mA or 100mA charging current, external LED footprint, USB input, mounting holes, and various holes for your own connectors. We include a single JST-tpye connector which connects directly to our LiPo batteries. The connector comes unsoldered, so you can use it or not.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;


	There is also a &amp;#39;SYS OUT&amp;#39; which allows you to connect the charging circuit directly to your project so you don&amp;#39;t need to disconnect the charger each time you want to use it.&lt;/p&gt;
