CHECK POLARITY OF YOUR BATTERY BEFORE PLUGGING IT INTO THE RETRO PSU the polarity on my board is reverse compared to the PowerBoost and is clearly marked behind the battery connector. I am not replacing damaged boards because of this.
I am no longer Shipping to the UK because of the enforced VAT they are enforcing vendors to deal with. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is the PSU (Power Supply Unit) board for all your retro modding needs like making a GameBoy Zero with any of the Raspberry Pi products and it’s Clones like Orange Pi, Banana Pi etc, it has even powered Robots. This board has all the features the modding community wants and needs for their build into a small and powerful package, just have a look at all the features packed in below:

-
Outputs up to 6A @ 5.20v
-
Small Size of 44.1mm x 34.8mm (34.4mm x 34.8mm with JST removed)
-
Optional Enable Pins to turn off the boost portions
-
2 Separate 5v 3A outputs per Output Channel (use 24AWG or Thicker to get the full amperage!)
-
