{"product_id":"sparkfun-lipo-charger-plus","title":"SparkFun LiPo Charger Plus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SparkFun LiPo Charger Plus is the souped-up power option in the SparkFun line of single-cell lithium polymer (LiPo) battery chargers. With this iteration, they've changed the input charge connector to USB-C and provided charge rate selection as well as optional thermal protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharge, power, and done LEDs clearly indicate the status of your charging process. This board can be used for any of the 2-pin JST connector single cell LiPo batteries we carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an input voltage between 3.75V-6V, the MCP73833 can charge up to a maximum rate of 1000mAh and provides two forms of thermal protection. An internal sensor maintains maximum charging rate until the die temperature of the IC reaches ~95°C; the charge controller will then reduce the charge rate to prevent overheating. The MCP73833 also has an optional input pin for an NTC (negative-temperature coefficient) thermistor, thus gating the battery against possible damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/lipo-charger-plus-hookup-guide\" class=\"btn btn-default\"\u003eGet started with the SparkFun LiPo Charger Plus hookup guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Linear Charge Management Controller\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Pass Transistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Current Sense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Reverse Discharge Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant Current \/ Constant Voltage Operation with Thermal Regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable Charge Current: 1A Maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreconditioning of Deeply Depleted Cells\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable Current Ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable Voltage Threshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell Temperature Monitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-Dropout Linear Regulator Mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply Voltage: 3V-6V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/SparkFun_LiPo_Charger_Plus.pdf?238\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/5\/f\/8\/d\/8\/SparkFun_LiPo_Charger_Plus.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eEagle Files\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/lipo-charger-plus-hookup-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eHookup Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/MCP73833Datasheet.pdf?239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e (MCP73833)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sparkfun\/LiPo_Charger_Plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGitHub Hardware Repo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sparkfun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":27917016236115,"sku":"PRT-15217","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/15217-SparkFun_LiPo_Charger_Plus-02.jpg?v=1559579142","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/sparkfun-lipo-charger-plus","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
