  • Quick start indicator
When you connect power adapter to Type_C interface for quick charging, the Quick Charge indocator will turn on. If it keeps on, maybe that your adapter doesn't support quick charge.
  • Standby button
Single-press it to output 5V, and double-press it to set it to sleep mode.

How to use

Discharge

Connect it to Raspberry Pi
  • Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
  • Step2: Single-press Standby button, set it to discharge mode
  • Step3: Attach it on Raspberry Pi for powering.
For other devices.
  • Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
  • Step2: Single-press Standby button, set it to discharge mode
  • Step3: Connect it to other devices by USB cable or wires.

Charge

Charge
  • Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
  • Step2: Connect power adapter to micro USB or Type-C interface by USB cable
Quick charge
  • Step1: Insert the Li-polymer battery to 2.0mm battery socket.
  • Step2: Connect power adapter (support quick charge) to type_C interface by USB cable
  • Step3: Check if the Quick charge indicator turns on.

Notices

  • Module enter sleep mode when the working current is less than 40mA and stop to discharge.
  • The Quick charge mode only works when you connect a power adapter that supports quick charge.
  • To power Raspberry Pi, you can attach it on the GPIO or connect Type_A interface to Pi by USB cable.
  • This module cannot work as UPS. It will turn off Raspberry Pi when low-voltage.
  • The battery is about 4.2v when fully charged. Note that you should discharge the battery to 3.0, otherwise it is damaged.
  • Please disconnect any devices when you replace battery.
  • DO NOT change the battery provided with other battery without protective panel.
  • Please check the poles of the battery interface carefully when you connect batteries.
