7.4V LiPo USB Battery Charger

This 7.4V LiPo USB Battery Charger module is a great little electronics unit designed to make charging your batteries and projects simple and easy. It is a complete Module that needs no extra parts aside from a standard USB Micro charging cable or AC adapter, and offers a good range of features that include reverse connection protection, overcharge prevention, as well as input current limitation to protect Batteries from unnecessary damage.

One of the best features about this module, in addition to the array of protection features, is that it is small and versatile enough to be integrated into Electronics projects, where it can act as both a Battery Charging unit, and a power supply unit. When used in this way, it can power the project via the Micro USB cable, while charging the project’s onboard batteries. Then, when the project is unplugged from the AC adapter or Micro USB Power cable, the charged batteries can take over and keep your project Powered Up when it needs to be portable.

Typical Applications for 7.4V LiPo USB Battery Charger:

The DFRobot 7.4V LiPo USB Battery Charger is a quality charging module that is designed to be as easy as possible for the end user to benefit from. It offers a range of protection features to prevent dangerous battery explosions and other problems typically related to low-quality components, and ensures that your LiPo Batteries are not only charged, but charged in the best possible way to extend their lifespans and keep them operating at maximum efficiency. As a final note, if you are isntalling this module inside an enclosure that will be subject to high temperatures, such as within robotics or next to stepper motor drivers, you may need to install the included heatsink on the back to prevent overheating.
