The SparkFun Power Block provides a convenient way to power your Intel Edison stack using your own 3.7V lithium battery. It features a micro-USB connector that delivers up to 500 mA charge current, letting you charge a connected battery while running your Edison.

Identical to the Battery Block in design but without a built-in battery, the Power Block is designed for use with an external 3.7V battery of your choice. It stacks with other SparkFun Edison Blocks via the 70-pin Hirose connector.
