TP4056 1A Li-ion Lithium Battery Charging Module (Type C)

The TP4056 1A Li-ion Lithium Battery Charging Module (Type C) is a popular module used for charging lithium-ion batteries. Here's a breakdown of its key features and components:

Key Features:

1. TP4056 Chip:

• The TP4056 is a dedicated linear charger IC for lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. It efficiently handles the charging process, including current regulation, voltage regulation, and trickle charge to optimize battery life.

1. Charging Current (1A):

• This module is designed to charge lithium-ion batteries at a current of 1A. This is a typical current for charging smaller Li-ion batteries (such as 18650 cells), offering a good balance of charging speed and safety.

1. Micro USB or Type-C Input:

• The module typically supports Micro USB for charging, but in this version, it uses Type-C, which is becoming a standard for modern devices due to its reversible connection and faster data transfer capabilities.

1. Overcurrent Protection:

• One of the main features of this module is the built-in overcurrent protection. This helps prevent excessive current flow to the battery, which can lead to overheating or even damage.

1. Battery Voltage Regulation:

• It ensures that the battery charges at a safe voltage, typically up to 4.2V (the standard charging voltage for lithium-ion batteries).

1. Status Indicator LED:

• Often, the module includes an LED indicator to show charging status. Typically, a red light indicates charging, and a blue or green light shows when the battery is fully charged.

1. Simple Integration:

• The module is easy to use, requiring only the connection of the battery to the B+ (positive) and B- (negative) terminals, and the power supply (Type-C) to the input terminals.

Pinout:

• B+: Connect to the positive terminal of the battery.
• B-: Connect to the negative terminal of the battery.
• IN+: Positive terminal of the input power source (Type-C).
• IN-: Negative terminal of the input power source (Type-C).
• OUT+: Can be used for extracting the output voltage for powering other circuits, but typically the module is designed just for charging purposes.

Safety Features:

• Overcharge Protection: The TP4056 chip ensures the voltage is limited to 4.2V to avoid damaging the lithium-ion battery.
• Short-circuit Protection: Protects against shorts in the wiring.
• Thermal Protection: Protects the circuit from overheating.

Applications:

• Portable power banks
• Arduino and DIY electronics
• Battery-powered devices
• Electric vehicles and robotics

The module is designed to be low-cost and compact, making it very popular for small electronics projects and prototyping. It’s a great choice for safely charging Li-ion batteries without requiring complex charging circuits.
