From the project
This repository contains the design files for a single-cell (1s) Battery Management System (BMS) for Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. The design is centered around the Texas Instruments BQ21040DBVT integrated circuit, a highly integrated battery charger and protection IC.
This repository contains all the design files for a single-cell (1s) Battery Management System (BMS) for Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. The core of this design is the Texas Instruments BQ21040DBVT, a highly integrated battery charger and protection IC.
400mA output, adjustable via the R2 resistor.
This BMS is perfect for low-power applications where you need to safely charge and protect a single lithium-based battery cell.
