Question about the LiPo batteries in the shop

Post by steki »

Hey all,

I'm currently trying to assemble the parts list for my Arduino Fio project. I want to power it using a LiPo battery, which is one of the major problems. Somewhere in the Arduino forums I read that the Fio only works with/can charge single-cell LiPo batteries. So I'd like to have single-cell battery with as much capacity as possible.

The Adafruit shop lists two 3.7v LiPos, one with 1300 mAh and one with 2700 mAh (ids 258 and 328). Unfortunately, the pages of both products don't list any information on how many cells these batteries have. And also unfortunately, I'm not the brightest light in the world of electronics and really have no clue how I can read that stuff out of the datasheets - at least I haven't found a passage that says "..single-cell.." ;)

Can someone tell me whether these batteries are compatible with the Arduino Fio (mainly concerning charging...)?

Many thanks,

Stefan
