SmartElex MCP73833 USB Li-ion-Li-Poly Battery Charger Module
The SmartElex MCP73833 USB Li-ion–Li-Poly Battery Charger Module is a compact and efficient USB lithium battery charger designed for safe and reliable charging of single-cell lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. This USB battery charger module uses a mini-B USB interface, making it compatible with computers and USB wall adapters.
It follows a proven three-stage charging process—preconditioning, constant-current fast charging, and constant-voltage trickle charging—to protect battery health and improve lifespan.
The module delivers a default fast-charge current of 500mA, which can be precisely adjusted between 100mA and 1000mA by soldering a through-hole resistor, allowing users to match the charging rate to specific battery capacities. This makes it an excellent choice for embedded systems, portable electronics, and battery management applications.
Features:
• Assembled and tested; ready for immediate usage.
• JST Cable Included: Provides an easy battery connection.
• 5V Input via Mini-B USB: Standard USB power source.
• Li-Ion/LiPo Compatibility: Charges a single 3.7/4.2V lithium battery.
• Adjustable charge current: 500mA by default, 100-1000mA via resistor.
• Separate Battery/Load Connectors: Allows for simultaneous charging and operation.
• Thermistor Support: Temperature monitoring with a 10K NTC thermistor.
• 0.1″ Breakouts provide easy access to battery, DC, and LED status.
