The 5383-ADA is a small Li-po and Li-ion battery meter. It has a very simplistic design and is easy to install on any battery.
This small, palm-sized battery power meter has a small display that shows off how much juice is left in your single Lithium-Ion/Polymer rechargeable battery. The colour display has four levels of power indication once battery capacity becomes 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. When power is below 25%, only the red battery frame lights up.
The design is pretty basic, it's just doing basic voltage comparisons, and of course, it will drain any battery it is connected to - but for beginners, this is a pretty easy way to check a single 3.7V/4.2V Lithium Ion or Lipoly batteries.
It comes with two bare wire ends, connect black wire to ground, red wire to positive - check your battery for the polarity because batteries not from Adafruit may have a different connector setup.
