⚠
Follow all published safety advice for using bare cell LiPo batteries while charging and protecting
them from mechanical damage. Fire risk can occur if the advice is not followed.
All supply connections are fed via a Schottky diode to the main supply bus to allow multiple sources
to be connected in parallel. The LiPo battery will be charged from the USB connection. The charging
status is indicated by a red LED which is on during charging and turned off when fully charged.
