Serval Rugged Battery Pack is designed to be the universal battery supply system for wireless equipment in any situation. Let that be a rescue operation in New Zealand, every-day deployment in Africa or a remote location in Europe, all sharing the same lack of electrical power for communication equipment. Together with [Serval project](http://www.servalproject.org/) we are creating an universal power solution for [Serval Mesh extender](http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=content:meshextender:main_page) and general use in community wireless networks.

Designed to house 2pcs LiFePO4 12Ah batteries and control electronics. Implements most of the described features, however supports only up to 1A charging current, making the usage of such a system rather limited. Improvements are on the way.

## Electronics
The brains should be MSP430G2452 compatible with [Energia environment](http://energia.nu), because of internal VCC measurement feature, temperature sensor, low power consumption nad affordable cost.

The charging part should ideally be built around BQ24560 IC from TI.
The charging part should ideally be built around BQ24650 IC from TI.

The output step-up part should be built with low-cost step-up devices. Pre-selectable config for 12V or 5V output.
