From the project

Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for Fuel-gauge-BQ27441-breakout designed by Soldered Electronics.

Fuel gauge is a special type of accessory for lithium batteries that very precisely measures the state of the battery. This includes current voltage [mV], state of charge [%] and probably most interestingly: remaining capacity in the battery [mAh]. It is used with 1S batteries, and provides all this information via the I2C interface.

On our board you can find easyC connectors which allow I2C communication with microcontroller. Also, there is a JST input for any pouch battery you can find in our offer, as well as quick connect terminal connector for input if your source doesn’t have JST…
