5.0V Booster

Projects General Guidance

I wish to power up my MCU with two 3.6V LiSOCl2-batteries....problem is, that I want to feed 5.0V to my MCU.

Does anyone have any recommendations to approach this as a newbie? Are there any breakout boards I can use to convert the 2.8-3.6V that the batteries output, to a steady 5.0V?

First question. Are you hooking the batteries in series (7.2 volts) or parallel (3.6 volts)?

If in series just hook it up to the Vin/RAW pin of the Arduino and let the regulator take care of the difference.

If in parallel, boost converter.
