Product Overview
The 18650 Lithium Battery Charging Boost Module combines a lithium battery charger and adjustable boost converter on a single PCB, making it an excellent choice for DIY electronics and embedded projects. Powered by the CSM4056T Lithium Battery Charging IC, the module provides safe Constant Current / Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charging for a single 3.7V lithium-ion battery through the convenient USB Type-C connector.
After charging, the onboard boost converter steps the battery voltage up to an adjustable output ranging from 4.2V to 28V, allowing the module to power a wide variety of electronic devices from a single lithium battery.
Its compact size, stable performance, and simple operation make it suitable for portable power supplies, battery-powered IoT devices, Arduino projects, ESP32 development boards, LED lighting, wireless sensors, robotics, and many other DIY applications.
