  • Adafruit MAX1704X

  Raspberry Pi:

  • Adafruit CircuitPython MAX1704x

The AmpRipper 4000 Li-ion battery charger & boost module offers enhanced functionality, communication, and control options over its predecessor. The best Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and DIY battery power supply just got better. With improved fast-charge and Plug and Play capabilities, The AR4000 now features a 4A output, I2C communication, increased efficiency, greater input voltage range, adjustable charge rate, and more options for user control. Fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi 4, Teensy, or any other 5V device, the AmpRipper 4000 is a bulletproof choice for battery powered DIY electronics projects.

Built around the MP3424 boost converter and the MP2617 lithium-ion charger, the AmpRipper 4000 module can supply a whopping 5V/4A, 20W output with a fast-charge rate of up to 3A. Smart power path management technology ensures that power to your project is not interrupted, even if either the battery or charger are removed. The AR4000 module also accepts a wider input voltage range of 5-14V. Similar to its predecessor, AR4000 is compatible with 3.7-4.2V 1S[N]P lithium ion/polymer batteries. Battery voltage and charge percentage can now be monitored via I2C, thanks to the MAX17048 battery monitor. AR4000 also features improved accessibility with more i/o and expanded connectivity options. Power input and output can be accessed by either USB-C or thru-hole terminals. Connection points for the battery include a JST PH-2.0 connector, as well as thru-hole terminals.
