If you will connect other modules to the remaining WisBlock Base slots, check on the WisBlock Pin
Mapper tool for possible conflicts.
Battery Connector
Rechargeable Battery
RAK19016 supports a rechargeable Li-Ion/LiPo battery via the dedicated connector. The battery and external 5-
24 V DC input can simultaneously be connected to provide power to all WisBlock modules. The 5-24 V
DC
goes to
a buck converter with 4.4 V
DC
output which is higher than the max 4.2 of LiPo battery. 5-24
DC
V DC is the primary
power source and also charges the LiPo battery at the same time.
The matching connector for the rechargeable battery wires is a JST PHR-2 2 mm pitch female . A cable
assembly for the rechargeable battery connector is also available for purchase in RAK store .
⚠ WARNING
Battery can cause harm if not handled properly.
Only 3.7-4.2 V rechargeable LiPo batteries are supported. It is highly recommended not to use other
types of batteries with the system unless you know what you are doing.
Make sure the battery wires, both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, match the polarity on the
RAK19016 board. Not all batteries have the same wiring.
Software Setup
There is no software required to use RAK19016. But to control the two user LEDs and monitor the battery voltage,
it must be attached to a WisBlock Base and WisBlock Core.
