# Portable PyPortal ## Overview ## PyPort-able Are you looking to make your PyPortal into a portable project? Sure, you can use a USB battery pack, but what if it needs to be slim and enclosed? That's where the Adafruit PowerBoost comes in!  ![circuitpython_parts.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/071/332/medium640/circuitpython_parts.jpg?1550331351) ## PowerBoosting PyPortal The [Adafruit PowerBoost 1000C](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2465) is the perfect power supply for the PyPortal. It provides 5V 1A output and features built-in battery recharging for our line of 3.7v [LiIon/LiPoly batteries](https://www.adafruit.com/category/574). We suggest using a battery with a minimum capacity of 500mAh, but the bigger the better!  ![circuitpython_pyportal-powerboost.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/071/333/medium640/circuitpython_pyportal-powerboost.jpg?1550333525) ### Adafruit PyPortal - CircuitPython Powered Internet Display [Adafruit PyPortal - CircuitPython Powered Internet Display](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4116) **PyPortal** , our easy-to-use IoT device that allows you to create all the things for the “Internet of Things” in minutes.
