## Description

Super convenient for powering deployed projects using microcontrollers with wide range input like the [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/pico.html#category_2118), or [BBC micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-australia.html#category_957).

With [Alkaline AA Batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/aa-batteries.html) the voltage will be somewhere between 3.3 and 4.8 Volts and if you are [using NiMH batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/panasonic-eneloop-pro-nimh-aa-batteries-2450mah-4-pack.html) somewhere between 3.0 and 4.2 volts. Both are similar to LiPo batteries but far less prone to dangerous failures.

Since both aren't LiPo's make sure you do not plug them into any LiPo chargers or raw 5V outputs!

Add one to your next robot or portable project - the on-off switch is recessed and harder to accidentally switch on and off, perfect for projects with lots of moving parts!
