📋 Overview
This compact USB Type-C charging module steps up a standard 5V USB power source to properly charge multi-cell 18650 lithium-ion battery packs. Choose the variant that matches your battery configuration — 2-Cell (2S) for 8.4V packs, 3-Cell (3S) for 12.6V packs, or 4-Cell (4S) for 16.8V packs — and this board will safely boost-convert and charge at up to 2A. It's a simple, drop-in solution for DIY battery packs, portable power projects, and battery pack repairs.
⭐ Key Features
- USB Type-C input — works with any standard 5V phone charger, power bank, or USB power supply
- Boost-converts low input voltage up to the correct charging voltage for your battery pack
- Three variants available: 2S (8.4V), 3S (12.6V), and 4S (16.8V)
- 2 Amp charging input current version for faster charging
- Built-in battery overvoltage protection
- Protection against battery voltage being lower than input, and against short circuit
- Good adaptability to input power sources with limited driving capability
- Dual LED status indicators — "CR" shows active charging, "OK" shows fully charged / constant voltage mode
- Ultra-compact size, easy to integrate into custom battery pack enclosures
⚠️ Factory-Configured — Not User Adjustable: This module is factory-configured for a specific 18650 cell count (2S, 3S, or 4S) and its matching charging voltage (8.4V, 12.6V, or 16.8V). This setting is fixed at the factory and cannot be changed by the user. Be sure to select the variant that matches your battery pack's series cell count — connecting a pack with a different cell count than the module is configured for can result in incorrect charging voltage and damage to your battery pack.
