BeagleJuice

The BeagleJuice makes the BeagleBoard portable.

The New BeagleJuice is available here: BeagleJuice

A battery module that provides a 5V power supply directly to the BeagleBoard, it can be mounted onto the back side using standoffs, which keeps the expansion ports easily accessible.

The 4500 mAh Li-ion battery is charged using specialized charging circuitry that boosts performance for longer-lasting applications. The module itself can supply power through a special, 2-pin barrel jack, or directly through wires on dual pin headers. It can be charged through a Type B-mini USB port, and a second USB port is also available for accelerated charging.

Like most portable, handheld devices, the BeagleJuice can provide power while plugged in, and there’s an on/off switch to make booting and shutting down simple. Best of all, the modular form of the BeagleJuice fits with the BeagleTouch to sandwich the BeagleBoard – resulting in a solid, handheld Linux-based computer in the palm of your hand.
