These shims are great. They sit well under the Pico (whether a wireless one, or one without wireless) and enable it to charge and then run without being connected to the USB power supply. I can also read the state of the battery through the analogue input, even when I'm using Microblocks.fun as the programming environment. A very useful product. I can now build a number of battery powered Picos, including using one for a GCSE Design and Technology Product.

Really easy to use, and with a little kapton tape on the back of the Pico it can be very low profile.

Such a handy little device for the Pico board and others(with some different soldering, check out Adafruit's video on it for use with a board thats not a Pico). I have DOZENS of these and they work flawlessly. Would love to see what an "upgraded" model would look like and do! hehe. Excellent device!

Love this. So easy to use and is really effective with one of the lipo batteries. My only concern is you can't get the battery charge info if WiFi is active on the Pico W, apart from that an absolutely superb bit of kit
