4-cell Pack + Boe-Boost Setup

Parts List

(1) Boe-Boost
(1) 4-cell battery pack

  • Load the batteries into the battery pack and Boe-Boost. Align the batteries’ +/- markings with the +/- markings in the battery cases. (Negative (-) terminals connect to springs.) 

  • Use the figure below as a guide and lift two of the positive battery ends upward.  Lift each one just far enough to expose its terminal end.

  • Push the Boe-Boost up against the positive terminals, then push down to insert it into the battery holder.

  • Plug the battery pack into the Arduino module’s power jack.
  • Check your work; when you are done assembling the system it should resemble the picture below.
