P.S_ To Sparkfun -_ you should consider carrying just PCB version (without the battery case/hookups).
- The wires are not secured. A bit of a tug or a little side-to-side motion and they break off. Even just passing the wires through a small hole would help.
- If the wires do break off, it is difficult to reattach them.
- There is no convenient way to mount it. There is a single hole that accomodates a small screw but the hole is poorly positioned.
- When the battery gets low, the step up circuit becomes erratic.
In general, I've been pleased. It works as advertised.
