TP4056 Micro USB Battery Lithium 18650

Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that charge using BMS. For a wide range of applications, from lighting up an LED bulb to powering up a microcontroller. This charging module adds portability to your project. It can eliminate the removable of the battery and charge them through a micro-USB.

This module uses a TP4056 chip, which is a Li-ion battery charger. It has a micro-USB port and solder pads to be used for power supply to charge the battery.

When in use with a charger, the output pins draw current from the charger module, and the remaining current goes to charge the battery. It has an under-voltage and short circuit protection. The full charge voltage of the battery is at 4.2V. It has LED indicators that indicate charging(red) and full charge(blue) status.

In this digital generation, effective battery management is crucial. Whether you’re working on a custom gadget, a robotics project, or a power backup system, ensuring your lithium-ion batteries are charged safely and efficiently is a top priority. Presenting Circuitrocks’ TP4056 lithium-ion charging module—a compact yet powerful solution that’s become a favorite among hobbyists and professionals alike. 
This blog will talk about the features, benefits, and applications of the TP4056 module available from Circuitrocks, and explore why it’s a must-have for your electronic toolkit.

What is the TP4056 Lithium-Ion Charging Module?

The TP4056 is a dedicated lithium-ion battery charging management IC (integrated circuit) designed to handle the charging of single-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries. Known for its efficiency and reliability, the TP4056 module simplifies the charging process by integrating essential functions into a single compact board. This module ensures that your battery is charged safely, maximizing its lifespan and performance.

Key Features of the TP4056 Module

1. Precision Charging: The TP4056 module features precise charging control with a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charging algorithm. It ensures that your lithium-ion batteries receive the correct amount of current and voltage during the charging process, protecting them from overcharging and extending their life.
   
2. Overcharge Protection: Safety is a major concern with lithium-ion batteries. The TP4056 module includes built-in protection to prevent overcharging. Once the battery reaches its full charge (typically 4.2V), the module automatically switches to a trickle charge mode, ensuring that the battery remains at full capacity without being damaged.
   
3. Integrated Protection Circuits: This module often comes with additional protection circuits for over-discharge, short circuits, and thermal issues. These features safeguard both the battery and your device, enhancing overall reliability and safety.
   
4. LED Indicators: The TP4056 module usually includes two LED indicators—one for charging status (usually red) and one for a full charge (typically green). These indicators provide visual feedback on the charging state, making it easy to monitor the process at a glance.
   
5. Compact and User-Friendly: Measuring just a few centimeters in length, the TP4056 module is incredibly compact, making it easy to integrate into various projects. Its design is user-friendly, with straightforward connections for the battery and power input, making it accessible even for those new to electronics.
