Low cost Lithium Polymer batteries have revolutionized electronics - they're thin, they're light, they can be regulated down to 3.3V and they're easy to charge. On your phone, there's a little image of a battery cell that tells you the percentage of charge - so you know when you absolutely need to plug it in and when you can stay untethered. The MAX17048 LiPoly/LiIon Gauge and Battery Monitor does the same thing. Connect it to your Lipoly or LiIon battery and it let you know the voltage of the cell, it does the annoying math of decoding the non-linear voltage to get you a valid percentage as well! Since this nice chip is I2C, it works with any and all microcontroller or microcomputer boards, from the for up to the for . And you don't have to worry about logic level, as the gauge runs with 3.3V or 5.0V power and logic equally fine. To use, connect a 1S 3.7-4.2V Lithium Ion or Polymer battery to one of the JST 2 PH ports (either one). Then use a JST PH jumper cable to connect to your boost converter, , whatever! Use the I2C interface and our for or for CircuitPython/Python library code to read the voltage and percentage whenever you like. There are alerts, low power modes that can be customized as desired. To get you going fast, we spun up a custom-made PCB in the QT form factor, making it easy to interface with. The QT connectors on either side are compatible with the Qwiic I2C connectors. This allows you to make solderless connections between your development board and the MAX17048 or to chain it with a wide range of other sensors and accessories using a compatible cable. QT Cable is not included Color:As Shown Material:PC Package Contents: 1 * Module Only the above package content, other products are not included.
