Features at a glance

This solar power management module is designed for 6V~24V solar panel. It can charge the 3.7V rechargeable Li battery through solar panel or USB connection, and provides 5V/1A or 3.3V/1A regulated output.

The module features MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) function and multi protection circuits, therefore, it is able to keep working with high-efficiency, stability, and safety. It is suited for solar powered, low-power IoT, and other environmental protection projects.

  • Supports MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) function, maximizing the efficiency of the solar panel
  • Supports solar panel / USB connection battery charging
  • For 6V~24V solar panel, DC-002 jack input or screw terminal input
  • Onboard MPPT SET switch, select the level closed to input level to improve charging efficiency
  • Onboard two power output interfaces: USB port for 5V output, pinheader for 3.3V or 5V output
  • Onboard high capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor and SMD ceramic capacitor, reducing the ripple, stable performance
  • 14500 battery holder and PH2.0 battery connector, for connecting multi kinds of 3.7V rechargeable Li battery
  • Several LED indicators, for monitoring the status of solar panel and battery
  • Multi protection circuits: over charge / over discharge / reverse protection / over heat / over current, stable and safe to use

SAFETY CAUTIONS

  • Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
  • Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
  • Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
  • When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
  • Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
  • Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.
