Product Description

500mA 0.95V to 5V Mini StepUp Boost Power Module

Compact DC-DC Voltage Converter for Arduino & DIY Projects

The 500mA 0.95V to 5V Mini StepUp Boost Power Module is a highefficiency, ultracompact voltage converter designed to boost low input voltages to a stable 5V output. This module is capable of starting from input voltages as low as 0.9V, making it perfect for powering Arduino, ESP8266, and other 5V devices from single AA batteries, lithium cells, or solar panels.

Input voltage: 0.9V to 5V DC - works with nearly depleted batteries
Output: 5V DC at up to 500mA (400-500mA typical)
Efficiency: up to 96% for extended battery life

Performance Notes

# Output Current by Input Source

  • 1x AA Battery (1.0V): ~150-200mA output
  • 1x AA Battery (1.5V): ~250-300mA output
  • 1x AAA Battery: ~150-200mA output
  • 2x AA Batteries: ~400-500mA output
  • Lithium Cell (3.7V): Up to 500mA output
Higher input voltage yields higher output current capability
Module uses PFM control for efficient boost conversion at light loads

Important Notes

Maximum output current: 500mA - do not exceed
Input voltage must be lower than output voltage (boost only)
For best efficiency, keep input voltage as high as possible
Do not apply input voltage above 5V
Module is a boost converter - output voltage is always higher than input
For higher current, choose a module with higher output rating

Safety Precautions

Do not exceed 5V input voltage
Ensure correct polarity when connecting power
Do not short output terminals
Keep away from moisture and heat sources
Verify load current before application
Allow adequate airflow for cooling
For continuous high-current operation, add a heatsink
