Lithium Battery Charger and Protection Module 1A USB-C - TP4056
The Kuongshun TP4056 is a compact lithium battery charger and protection module designed for single-cell Li-Ion and LiPo batteries. It charges via USB-C using the industry-standard Constant-Current / Constant-Voltage (CC/CV) method and integrates a dedicated protection IC alongside the TP4056 charge controller — a combination that many cheaper TP4056 boards on the market omit. This makes it the go-to choice for makers and engineers who need safe, reliable battery management in a single small module.
Key Features
- USB-C Input: Modern, reversible connector for convenient charging → no more fiddling with cable orientation
- CC/CV Charging (1A): Correct constant-current then constant-voltage profile → maximises battery lifespan and safety
- Dedicated Protection IC: Separate protection circuit on top of the TP4056 → guards the battery even when the charger IC is not active
- Overcharge Protection: Stops charging when cell reaches full voltage → prevents swelling and fire risk
- Over-discharge Protection: Cuts off load when cell voltage drops too low → extends battery cycle life
- Short-Circuit Protection: Disconnects output on short circuit → protects both battery and connected load
- Charge Status LEDs: On-board indicators show charging in progress and charge complete → instant visual feedback
Pinout & Wiring
| PIN | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input Power | USB-C | 5V charging input via USB-C connector |
| Battery + | B+ | Connect to positive terminal of Li-Ion/LiPo cell |
| Battery − | B− | Connect to negative terminal of Li-Ion/LiPo cell |
| Load + | OUT+ / C+ | Protected positive output to your load/circuit |
| Load − | OUT− / C− | Protected negative output to your load/circuit |
Wiring note: Connect your single-cell Li-Ion or LiPo battery to B+/B−. Power your project from OUT+/OUT− to benefit from the full protection features. Do not bypass the protection output by drawing power directly from B+/B− in normal use.
Compatibility
- Arduino UNO / Nano (5V): Use OUT+/OUT− to supply a boost converter if 5V logic is needed; the battery output (~3.7V) can power 3.3V-tolerant Arduinos directly via the RAW pin.
- ESP32 / ESP8266 (3.3V): Ideal pairing — battery output feeds directly into a 3.3V regulator or LDO; common in portable IoT builds.
- Raspberry Pi (3.3V/5V): Use alongside a 5V boost module for Pi Zero wireless sensor nodes.
Typical Applications
- Portable Arduino / ESP32 projects — add rechargeable battery power to any 3.3V–5V microcontroller build
- DIY power banks — combine with a single 18650 cell and a boost converter for a custom USB power bank
- Wearable electronics — small footprint fits LiPo-powered wearables and e-textiles
- IoT sensor nodes — solar or USB recharging keeps remote sensors alive indefinitely
- RC / robotics prototypes — safe, protected cell management without a bulky BMS board

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between this module and cheaper TP4056 boards?
A: Many low-cost TP4056 boards include only the charger IC with no protection circuit. This Kuongshun module adds a dedicated protection IC that handles overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit events independently — essential for safe battery operation.
Q: Can I charge and use the battery (power my circuit) at the same time?
A: Yes — connect your load to OUT+/OUT− and the battery to B+/B−. The module supports pass-through operation, though performance depends on current draw vs. charge current.
⚠ Warning: This module is designed for single-cell (1S) Li-Ion / LiPo batteries only. Do not connect multi-cell packs. Always ensure correct polarity when connecting the battery. Keep away from flammable materials during first use.
