SparkFun Blocks for Intel® Edison - Battery
Block
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.
