Extend short-length of two multi-stranded wires from the solder pads.Locate the position of the resistor R4 (1K2), and carefully remove it from the top of the PCB using a soldering pencil.

As an alternative (thanks eBay), just buy and ‘hack’ a ready-made module of TP4056 to complete the project without any difficulty.įirst of all carefully observe the TP4056 module, and its circuit diagram.Thereafter, start the fabrication process as per the guidelines given here: However, construction of the LiPo battery charger using this IC is a cumbersome task for an average hobbyist having zero skills in SMD prototyping. Other features include current monitor,under voltage lockout, automatic recharge, and two status pin to indicate charge termination and the presence of an input voltage.
#Lipo battery charger portable
Its SOP-8 package and low external component count make the TP4056 ideally suited for portable applications.įurthermore, the TP4056 can work within USB and wall adapter. The TP4056 IC is a complete constant current/constant-voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion/Lithium Polymer (LiIon/LiPo) batteries. The tiny chip TP4056/YP4056 is a good example. As LiPo batteries require special charging algorithm, never attempt to charge these batteries with anything but a dedicated Lithium Polymer battery charger.įortunately, single-chip solutions are now widely available for Li-Po battery charging. Note that a 3.7 Volt battery is 100% charged when its terminal voltage reaches 4.2 volts, and selecting the correct charge current is also very crucial when charging battery packs, because over charging will ruin the battery, possibly cause it to catch fire. Therefore, charging them correctly with a charger specifically designed for lithium chemistry is critical to both the life span of the battery pack, and ofcourse your safety. LiPo battery obviously have a very different characteristics from conventional rechargeable battery types. 3.7 Volt LiPo battery /1 cell x 3.7 volts (1S)Ĭharging LiPo cells/batteries is not an easy task.
