Description
Product Overview
The TP4056 1A Lithium Battery Charger Module is a compact, low-cost charging solution designed for single-cell lithium-ion and lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries. This version features a Micro USB input for convenient charging via standard Android phone chargers, power banks, or computer USB ports, and includes the DW01 protection circuit for comprehensive battery safety.
Based on the industry-standard TP4056 chip from Top Power ASIC, this module implements a Constant Current / Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charging algorithm—the correct method for safely charging lithium batteries . It automatically delivers the maximum preset current (1A by default) until the battery reaches 4.2V, then switches to constant voltage mode, gradually reducing the current until the battery is fully charged .
The integrated DW01 protection circuit provides essential safeguards: overcharge protection, over-discharge protection (cutoff at approximately 2.5V), and overcurrent protection (3A typical) . Whether you are building portable electronics, powering an Arduino project with battery backup, maintaining 18650 cells, or creating custom power banks, this TP4056 module offers a reliable, ready-to-use charging solution at a fraction of the cost of dedicated chargers.
Key Features
-
Integrated Protection Circuit: Includes DW01 battery protection IC and FS8205 dual MOSFETs, providing overcharge, over-discharge (2.5V cutoff), overcurrent (3A), and short-circuit protection
-
Micro USB Input: Standard Micro USB connector for easy connection to Android phone chargers, power banks, or computer USB ports
-
1A Maximum Charge Current: Default charge current of 1000mA (1A), adjustable by changing the programming resistor for lower current applications
-
CC/CV Charging Algorithm: Proper Constant Current / Constant Voltage charging method essential for lithium battery safety and longevity
-
Dual-Color Status Indicator: Red LED indicates charging in progress; Green LED indicates fully charged or no battery connected
-
Protected Output Terminals: OUT+ and OUT- pads pass through the DW01 protection circuit, disconnecting the load if the battery voltage drops too low
-
Alternative Power Input Pads: IN+ and IN- solder pads allow custom 5V wiring for DIY projects when USB is not available
-
Automatic Recharge: When a fully charged battery drops below 4.05V (approximately 80-90% capacity), a new charging cycle automatically begins
-
Thermal Regulation: Automatically reduces charge current if internal die temperature exceeds safe limits, protecting the chip
