Description

This USB charger module eliminates the need for bulky traditional power adapters by utilizing a standard 5V USB power source, such as a phone charger or power bank, to efficiently charge 7.4V lithium polymer batteries. It employs a boost converter topology to step up the input voltage, delivering up to 1A of charging current to the battery pack.

The module is engineered for reliability and safety, featuring a suite of protection mechanisms on both the battery input (BAT IN) and USB input (USB IN) ports. These safeguards ensure stable operation across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Its compact form factor and micro-USB interface make it highly suitable for integration into mobile robots, drones, and other portable electronic systems.

Key Features

  • Boost-type USB charger specifically designed for 2S (7.4V) lithium polymer batteries.
  • Integrated all-round protection: over-charge, reverse connection, over-temperature, and adaptive input current limiting.
  • Multifunction LED status indicator for immediate visual feedback on charging state and faults.
  • Exposed charge input and battery port test pads facilitate easy circuit modification and real-time measurement.
  • USB connector features an ESD-protected shell for enhanced durability.
  • Optimized thermal design supported by included aluminum cooling fin and conductive silicone pad.
  • High-value build for reliable, long-term integration into portable power systems.

Applications

  • On-board charging system for mobile robotics and motor driver platforms.
  • Portable power bank and field-deployable electronic equipment with 7.4V battery packs.
  • Embedded USB charging function for DIY drones and RC vehicles.
  • Backup power and maintenance charging for instrumentation and data loggers.
