This module is available like a mini-board & compatible with Li-ion battery ranges from 3.7V to 4.2V. This module includes a port like micro USB for charging the battery & USB type A female o/p port supports 5V DC 1A input & 5V 1A o/p. Once this module is connected to a battery then a portable power bank can be made.

This module has less fixed current thus entire circuit can simply use 0.1mA of current without uniting to load, so there is no requirement of physical operation because if there is no load then it will standby & simply uses 0.1mA of current.

In the above image, we can observe that the USB port connectors-2, connector points or battery like positive & negative & the IC for the charge controller.

This module includes two USB ports as above mentioned such as USB-A & USB-B. USB A is mainly used for the o/p which is allied to a device to charge (discharging the o/p of USB) whereas the Micro-B USB is connected to an adapter with 5V for charging the batteries (charging the i/p of USB).

How to use it?

A T6845C power bank module is used in powering the Arduino nano. The connection diagram of this module is shown below.

When getting a power supply from an exterior USB charger, then the module like T6845 will get charging with a 18650 3.7V Ultra fire battery. The 5V output of the T6845 module can be connected to the VIN pin of the arduino nano module. Once the outside USB charger is connected to nano then it will work well.

Once the USB charger is disconnected then the output of the T6845 module falls to 4Volts but drives the Nano module & it retunes itself for every few seconds. Even if the Nanodevice is not connected to the output of the power bank module then the voltage fall takes place. In this usual & expected performance from the power bank module, it delivers 5V continually to the Nano board, when the battery ended.

T6845C Power Bank Module Applications

The applications of the T6845C power bank module include the following.

  • The T6845C power bank module is used widely like an application of a power bank because it provides huge load current as well as huge discharge current upto 1Amp. This module is perfect for charging the device. The charging and discharging can be indicated through onboard LEDs
  • This module is used in speakers, solar panels & power banks
  • Boosting
  • Charging of Lithium battery

Precautions

The following precautions should take while using this power bank module.

  • PCB will burn, don’t utilize o/p to connect above 1200mA devices or else.
  • Please connect two ports of the battery through B+, B-; the polarity should be correct, transposition will damage the chip

Thus, this is all about an overview of the T6845C power bank module. This kind of module is mainly designed for providing power supply to mobiles, tabs, etc. Here is a question for you, what is a power bank?
