Ideal for battery-powered projects
This board, paired with a LiPo battery, is my default power combination for Arduino- and ESP32-based toys I make for my grandchildren. This power manager, a flat LiPo, and an Arduino Beetle or Nano make a nice small package to hide inside a toy. Just put a panel-mount USBC female connector on the enclosure and feed the charger from there. A nice feature is that you can use the whatever-you-made while it's plugged in and charging. Some similar power boards suppress output while being charged. The board has status lights (e.g. low power, charging) which I haven't found a good way to expose. Probably needs a fiber or light-pipe if that's important (it hasn't been for my projects).

Quality and fun for projects.
Used this for a mini portable solder fume extractor (found on Adafruit's site) and it was a joy to build. Not really a whiz when it comes to electronics, but the tutorial they had made it very simple. I plan on buying one or two more to do other projects. Great little electronic gadget.

Just works.
This and its big sister are my go-to's for interfacing with LiPos. Works great.
