Sale priceFrom £1.50 incl. VAT excl. VAT

This is a standalone Lithium battery charger from TinyCircuits that lets you charge up your batteries from a micro-USB cable. The battery can connect to a JST SH connector (the battery connector on most lithium batteries). You can also use this without the JST connector with two large through holes to connect to a battery pack.

Note: please check the polarity of your battery before connecting. Not all JST terminated products have the same polarity! See the rear of the board for polarity.

Simply plug the USB side with a cable into a USB port, and plug a lithium-polymer or lithium-ion rechargeable (3.7V / 4.2V) battery into the other side and it will start charging. A status LED on the board will indicate when charging, and will turn off when fully charged.

Note: Battery and the micro-USB cable are not included.
