TP 4056 WITH BOOST

Description

TP4056 Battery Charger with Integrated Boost Converter

The TP4056 with Boost is a versatile 2-in-1 power management module. It combines a dedicated TP4056 lithium battery charging circuit with a DC-DC boost converter. This module is designed to charge a 3.7V Lithium-ion cell (via Micro/USB-C) and simultaneously provide a stable 5V output to power your electronics.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

This module serves two primary functions:

1. Charging (TP4056): When connected to a 5V USB power source, the TP4056 chip charges the attached 3.7V battery using the standard Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) profile.

2. Boosting: The onboard DC-DC boost converter takes the 3.7V from the battery and steps it up to a stable 5V, which is then provided at the output pins or USB port to power your project.

Key Features

• Integrated Protection: Includes built-in protection for the battery, cutting off charging at 4.2V and discharging at 2.4V–3.0V, which is essential for cell longevity.

• Dual Status LEDs: Most modules feature two LEDs—one to indicate charging status (Red) and one to indicate that charging is complete (Blue/Green).

• Space-Saving: By combining the charger and booster on a single board, you significantly reduce the footprint of your project’s power management system.

• Self-Regulating: The boost converter maintains a steady 5V output even as the battery voltage drops during use.

Important Installation & Safety Guidelines

• Polarity Matters: Always double-check the battery polarity (B+ and B-) before soldering. Reverse polarity can permanently damage the TP4056 chip.

• Boost Load Limits: While the TP4056 handles 1A charging, the boost converter often has a lower current limit (typically 0.5A to 1A). Do not attempt to pull high current (like driving heavy motors) directly from the boost output.

• Heat Management: The TP4056 chip will get warm during the 1A charging cycle. This is normal, but ensure the board is not trapped in an airtight enclosure while charging.

• Simultaneous Use: Some versions of this board are designed for “pass-through” charging, meaning you can charge the battery and power the load at the same time. Check your specific module’s datasheet, as some cheaper variants may not support this reliably.
