Product Description
The TP4056 Type-C Charging Module is a sophisticated linear charger for single-cell lithium-ion batteries, now upgraded with a modern Type-C USB interface. Unlike basic charging boards, this "protection" version includes a dedicated battery management circuit (DW01A and 8205A) that guards against over-charging, over-discharging, and over-current scenarios. This makes it an all-in-one solution for safely adding rechargeable power to DIY electronics, allowing you to charge the battery via USB and power your project simultaneously through the dedicated output pads.
Key Features
Dual Protection Circuitry: Integrated DW01A IC protects the battery from discharging below 2.5V and prevents over-current surges above 3A.
Modern Type-C Port: High-durability USB-C input compatible with contemporary smartphone chargers and power banks.
Adjustable Charge Current: The default 1A charging rate can be modified by changing the RPROG resistor (R3) on the board.
Simultaneous Charge/Discharge: Supports "load sharing," allowing the battery to power a circuit while it is being charged.
Visual Status LEDs: Features a Red LED for "Charging" and a Blue/Green LED for "Full Charge" or "Standby" indication.
