Battery Charger
Figure 20 - Battery Charger
A +3.7 V Lipo battery (not included) connected to J17 can power the Bravo board and can
be charged by the onboard charger: the circuit re5V from the external power
supply. For more details, please refer to the
“External Power Supply” chapter.
The battery charger is powered by an ex5V power supply thorough the J24
connector or by the USB ports.
When an external power source is present and the battery is connected, the battery is
charging. The VCC_910 voltage is supplied by the 3.8V LDO.
When the external power source on J24 is disconnected, the Bravo board is battery
powered. In this case VCC_910 is supplied directly by the battery, by-passing the LDO.
While charging the battery the amber led is turned on.
Powering the board through the native USB port is not recommended
on long term, since it relies on the host device capability to supply the
required current. Telit suggests using an external 5V DC power supply
through J24 power connector or using an external battery pack
