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.

Technical Details

  • Linear Charging Logic: Uses a constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging profile optimized for 3.7V/4.2V lithium cells.

  • Input Flexibility: In addition to the Type-C port, it features (+) and (-) solder pads for direct 5V DC input from solar panels or adapters.

  • Soft-Start Function: Limits inrush current during the initial power-up phase to protect the internal MOSFETs.

  • Automatic Recharge: Automatically restarts the charging cycle if the battery voltage drops below 4.05V after a full charge.

  • Thermal Regulation: Internal feedback loops reduce the charge current if the die temperature rises above safe limits (approx. 140°C).

  • High Precision: Maintains a steady 4.2V termination voltage with 1% accuracy to maximize battery health.

  • Battery Chemistry: Designed specifically for 3.7V Lithium Polymer (LiPo) or 18650 Lithium-Ion cells.

  • Reverse Polarity Warning: Does not have input reverse polarity protection; ensure VCC and GND are connected correctly to avoid burning the IC.

  • Output Isolation: When the USB is unplugged, the protection IC ensures the battery is not drained back through the charging circuit.

  • SMD Construction: Low-profile surface-mount components ensure the board remains under 4mm in height.

  • Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): Prevents the circuit from operating if the input voltage is too low for stable charging.

  • Trickle Charge Mode: If the battery voltage is below 2.9V, the IC delivers a low "trickle" current to safely revive the cell.

  • PCB Quality: Built on a high-grade FR-4 substrate with thickened copper traces to handle 1A continuous current without overheating.

  • Load Connections: Features dedicated OUT+ and OUT- pads, ensuring the load benefits from the discharge protection circuit.

  • Breadboard Incompatible: Due to the side-mounted Type-C port and small size, it is best used with direct soldering or mounted on a carrier board.

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • 9V Battery Use: Never connect a 9V battery directly to the input of this module; the max input is 5.5V. To use a 9V battery as a source, you must use a 7805 Voltage Regulator or a Buck Converter to step down to 5V first.

  • 18650 Cell: This is the industry-standard module for 18650 cells. Simply connect the battery to B+ and B-. For best results, keep the wires short to minimize resistance during high-current 1A charging.

  • IC & Capacitor Tip: If your module gets very hot during 1A charging, solder a small Aluminum Heatsink onto the top of the TP4056 chip. Additionally, placing a 10uF Ceramic Capacitor across the OUT+ and OUT- pins can help stabilize power for sensitive microcontrollers like the ESP32.

  • Related Products: We recommend pairing this with our 18650 Li-ion Cells, 18650 Single Cell Holders, and USB Type-C Cables.
