PiicoDev LiPo Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Pico

The PiicoDev® LiPo Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Pico is a great way to start experimenting with Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040. Use the on-board PiicoDev connector to quickly and easily connect with the PiicoDev family of sensor modules without soldering. Each GPIO is broken out to a female-header with labels visible on the top surface. Four mounting holes make it easier to mount your Pico securely in your next project. The on-board charge LED illuminates during charging and will turn off when charging is complete. If no LiPo cell is connected the charge LED may be on or off.

• Breaks out each Pico pin, with handy labels
• Take your project on the go with on-board LiPo battery charging (not suitable for Alkaline or NiMH batteries)
• PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
• Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics

A Raspberry Pi Pico is not included - click here to buy one with pre-soldered pins (pointing down); or if you're comfortable soldering pins yourself, get one without pins

Technical Details

• Dimensions: 51x51mm
• M2.5 mounting holes
• Charge current: approx 220mA / 440mA (when Fast Charge jumper is soldered)
• PiicoDev connector: I2C0 (SCL:Pin 9, SDA:Pin 8)
• PiicoDev connector pinout:
• 1 GND
• 2 3.3V
• 3 SDA
• 4 SCL
• The I2C Bus presented at the PiicoDev connector contains series 120Ω resistances to prevent destructive signal undershoot. Refer to the schematic for more information. To operate without these series resistors, users may connect directly to the GPIO instead.
