Great little battery charger, very small but capable and not expensive.

Best tiny charger by far. Don’t own a trinket, but this is a simple lipo charger with ability to switch the output on and off straight out of the box. Can’t find anything else this size that can do that. So i bought two, and I’ll be back for more!

Great battery management add-on for small Arduino compatible boards, and extremely compact if you remove the JST connector and directly solder the LiPo to it.

It works very well but if fitted directly on top of the ItsyBitsy it blocks the view of the DotStar - often used for error message feedback. I decided to keep mine separate and fit it beside the ItsyBitsy on the project veroboard. This has the additional benefit that you can easily move it to another project.

The battery connector and everything work fine, its just the header pins that come with it are a bit too short, so the 5v, bat and ground pins only barely reach the breadboard. Longer pins would be better, otherwise perfect.
