1A Lithium Battery Charging Module with Protection
This awesome little 1A Lithium Battery Charge Module offers battery protection & up to 1A output, making it an ideal choice for portable electronics projects.
The 1A Lithium Battery Charging Module with Protection is a clever little Electronics Module that is capable of connecting up to a 5V DC supply and charging single-cell Lithium Battery. It uses either a Mini-USB port or dedicated terminals to connect up to a supply, with multiple charging outputs that can be adjusted via onboard soldering. Of course, it offers up to 1A by default, and this is a great rate to charge most batteries, although having the option to change that output does have some good benefits.
Compared to many of the prebuilt Battery Charger units you can get, this module's key feature is its extremely tiny form factor, enabling Makers to install it directly into consumer goods like headphones, flashlights or other common electronics, modifying old tech' and bringing it into the current age in an elegantly discrete way. However you choose to use this module though, we can tell you that it's a great, reliable little module with benefits that far outweigh the low cost.

Typical Applications for these 1A Lithium Battery Charging Modules:
This 1A Lithium Battery Charging Module is a great solution if you want to add battery-power capabilities to an Electronics project. It offers the option of either utilising the battery as a power source, or charging the battery when the module is plugged into a 5V supply. This means that you can integrate it into a project so as to utilise inexpensive and replaceable Li-Po and Li-Ion Batteries rather than a large battery unit or wall-connection PSU. This enables you to take your projects out into the world and then charge them at home when they’re not in use, even offering the option to replace the battery while on-the-go to keep your project powered when you don’t have the opportunity to recharge.
