Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program this Wemos ESP32 board with the battery shield?

You can program it using the Arduino IDE by installing the ESP32 board package via the Boards Manager. Select 'Wemos LOLIN32' or a Generic ESP32 Dev Module as your target. Connect via the onboard micro-USB port; the board will be powered by the connected 18650 battery if present. Ensure the battery switch is ON and use standard GPIO pins for peripherals. The board is also compatible with ESP-IDF and MicroPython for advanced development.

What is the estimated battery life with a standard 18650 cell?

Battery life depends heavily on the ESP32's operational mode. With a 3000mAh 18650 cell, the board can run for approximately 17 hours under active Wi-Fi transmission. Utilizing deep sleep modes, where the ESP32 consumes microamps, can extend operation to several weeks or months. Always measure your specific application's current draw to calculate precise runtime, considering the 1A output limit of the onboard regulator.

Can I charge the 18650 battery and run the ESP32 simultaneously?

Yes, the integrated charging circuit supports simultaneous charging and operation. When USB power is connected, the TP4056 charger module supplies up to 0.5A to the battery while the onboard regulator provides a stable 3.3V/1A output to the ESP32. The red LED indicates charging is active, and the green LED lights when the battery is fully charged. This feature is ideal for devices that need to remain online during maintenance charging.
