Double Capacity MintyBoost with 4-AA Battery Holder Modification

Step 12Connect the MintyBoost

Connect the MintyBoost

Install batteries into the battery holder and test the output voltage before connecting it to the MintyBoost. Fully charged rechargeable AA cells should give you about 2.5 volts while fresh alkaline cell should give you a bit over 3 volts. Once you are sure you have a properly functioning battery holder remove the batteries and make the connection to the MintyBoost.

Solder the power leads from your newly modified battery holder to the MintyBoost being careful to observe input voltage polarity.

Apply double stick foam tape to the solder side of the MintyBoost and trim to the shape of the circuit board.
