6 Frequently Asked Questions about “How to use the battery pack with charging board”

How do I build a battery pack?

To build the battery pack, we are taking 4 cells in series and adding a parallel cell, so we have double the voltage and capacity per cell. See the diagram above for how to go about connecting the cells. The only limiting factor is that all of the cells need to be identical.

How do I charge a battery using the above board?

When charging a battery using the above board connect the battery to B+ and B- and disconnect OUT+ and OUT- from your circuit. When using the battery disconnect the 5V input and take the output voltage from OUT+ and OUT- to your circuit.

How do I power a lithium ion board?

You have the option to power the board via a USB cable or by attaching an external power source to the IN+ and IN- pads on the left-hand side. The lithium battery is connected to the BAT+ and BAT- pads on the right-hand side. If you are using the board with the protection circuit, you can connect the output to the OUT+ and OUT- pads.

How do I charge a lithium battery?

The lithium battery is connected to the BAT+ and BAT- pads on the right-hand side. If you are using the board with the protection circuit, you can connect the output to the OUT+ and OUT- pads. Connect the output wires to the BAT+ and BAT- if your board does not have a protection circuit. The charging current is set to 1 A.

Can I charge a battery directly from a USB port?

It has two status outputs indicating charging in progress, and charging complete and a programmable charge current of up to 1A. You can use it to charge batteries directly from a USB port since the working input voltage range is 4V ~ 8V. However, remember the maximum current from a USB port is 500mA.

Do I need a battery charger?

You've made a functional and reliable lithium ion battery similar to a 4S 5000 mAh LiPo pack for a fraction of the cost! Yes, you need a charger, but if you have an old laptop battery lying around, some wire, charging plug, and solder tabs, then all you need is the BMS to get going which costs around $10 USD or less if you buy it from China.
