SparkFun Blocks for Intel® Edison - Battery



Introduction

The Battery Block is a simple way to power an Intel Edison stack. With a

400mah Lithium Polymer battery we have seen run rates of over an hour.

Depending on your configuration you may see more or less run time. The

Battery Block also provides a Micro USB port that can power the stack

while re-charging the battery. If you need more battery life, it is possible to

gently peel the battery off, de-solder the wires, and replace it with a larger

cell. If you remove the battery, it is also possible to expose the expansion

header to continue stacking blocks. It may be necessary to find an

alternative mounting point for your battery in this case.
