The TP4056 Battery Charger C Type Module with Protection is a compact charging and battery protection board for single-cell 3.7V Li-ion and Li-Po batteries. It provides a convenient way to add rechargeable battery power to DIY electronics, robotics, IoT devices, portable gadgets and other low-power projects.
The module uses the TP4056 linear lithium-ion charging IC to charge a single cell using a constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging method. With a charging current of up to 1A, it can provide a practical charging solution for compatible rechargeable cells. The charging voltage is fixed at 4.2V, making it suitable for standard 3.7V nominal Li-ion/Li-Po cells.
A built-in battery protection circuit helps protect the connected cell against overcharge, over-discharge and over-current conditions. The separate B+ and B− terminals are used for connecting the battery, while OUT+ and OUT− provide the protected output for a connected load. Power can be supplied through the convenient USB Type-C input or the IN+ and IN− solder pads.
Two onboard LEDs provide a quick charging-status indication: the red LED indicates charging, while the green LED indicates a completed charge. This makes the board easy to monitor without additional circuitry.
The TP4056 module is especially useful when building rechargeable battery-powered Arduino projects, ESP32 projects, portable electronics, sensor nodes, small IoT devices and DIY power systems where a simple single-cell charging and protection solution is required.
Important: This is a single-cell charger. Always verify battery polarity, battery chemistry and the required charging current before connecting a cell. Do not use it for multi-cell series battery packs.
To ensure safe and correct wiring, please refer to the terminal labels on the board:
Please remember the following crucial information:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Input Interface | Type C |
| Current Protection | Yes |
| Charging Mode | Linear charging |
| Current | 1A adjustable |
| Charge Precision | 1.5% |
| Input Voltage | 4.5V-5.5V |
| Full Charge Voltage | 4.2V |
The TP4056 module is designed for charging a single 3.7V nominal Li-ion or Li-Po rechargeable battery, with a full-charge voltage of 4.2V. It should not be used directly with multi-cell batteries connected in series.
Connect the battery positive terminal to B+ and the battery negative terminal to B−. Connect a 5V USB Type-C power source to the Type-C port. If a load is required, use OUT+ and OUT− as the protected output terminals.
The red LED indicates that the battery is charging, while the green LED indicates that charging has completed. The LEDs provide a simple way to check the charging status without additional electronics.
For this module, the safest recommended practice is to disconnect the load while charging unless the specific application has been designed and tested for the module's charging and load behaviour. A connected load can affect charging termination and current measurements.
The module supports a charging current of up to 1A, with the actual current determined by the module's charging-current setting and operating conditions. The TP4056 uses a constant-current/constant-voltage charging process and reduces current as the battery approaches its 4.2V charge voltage.
Yes. The protected version combines the TP4056 charging circuit with a battery protection circuit to help protect against conditions such as overcharge, over-discharge and over-current. Always verify the exact protection features of the supplied board revision.
No. The standard TP4056 is intended for one Li-ion/Li-Po cell with a 4.2V full-charge voltage. Multi-cell series packs require a charger and battery-management system designed for the appropriate number of cells.
