What is it?

This lightweight and portable USB power bank is powered by 4 standard AA batteries (not included), making it the perfect solution for powering low-power USB devices during prototyping, testing, and portable projects. Unlike traditional rechargeable USB power banks, which are heavier and require downtime for recharging, this unit lets you quickly swap out fresh AA batteries and keep working without interruption.

Features:

• Powered by 4x AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH)
• Standard USB output for powering devices like microcontrollers, development boards, sensors, small fans, or LED lights
• Convenient on/off switch to control power delivery without unplugging
• Bright power LED indicator to easily confirm when the unit is active
• Lightweight and compact for easy integration into mobile or temporary setups

Potential Use Cases:

• Prototyping electronics on a breadboard where a full-size power bank is too bulky
• Field testing portable devices where a wall plug isn’t available
• DIY projects that need quick and easy battery swaps without waiting for recharges
• Educational projects in classrooms or workshops where a steady 5V source is needed
• Emergency backup power for small USB gadgets

Compared to heavier, built-in battery banks, this AA-powered solution gives you flexibility, ultra-portability, and an easily replenishable power source—perfect for makers, students, and engineers who need a simple, reliable 5V supply on the go.
