LiPo battery charging from a 1W 5V solar panel
In my previous post, I reviewed some “5V 1W” solar panels, with a view to using them to power some IoT devices, and in this post I’ll show my experiments and conclusions about using the panel to charge the battery. LiPo cells have specific charging and usage requirements so that they don’t get damaged. For charging the basic principal is that they require both constant current and then constant voltage charging. They also should … Read More
