5V 2.4A Lithium Battery Fast Charging Discharging Module is an integrated single-cell (1S 3.7V/4.2V) lithium-ion power bank charge and boost discharge management board featuring both USB Type-C input and USB Type-A output ports. Built around an integrated synchronous switch-mode power bank SoC, this module charges 18650, 21700, or LiPo cells at up to 2.4A while stepping up the 3.7V battery voltage to a regulated 5.0V 2.4A USB output. Four onboard LED fuel-gauge indicators display real-time battery capacity in 25% increments.
Key Features:
- Bidirectional 2.4A Charge & Discharge: High-efficiency synchronous switching charger and 5V 2.4A step-up boost converter on one compact PCB.
- USB Type-C Input & USB-A Output: Accepts 5V charging input via USB Type-C and delivers 5V output through a standard USB Type-A female port.
- 4-LED Battery Capacity Display: Integrated 4-stage LED fuel gauge indicates 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% state-of-charge during charging and discharging.
- Comprehensive Lithium Protection: Includes overcharge (4.2V), over-discharge (3.0V), output overcurrent, short-circuit, and thermal overload protection.
- Auto Load Detection & Sleep: Automatically wakes up when a mobile device is plugged in and enters micro-amp standby when idle.
