Questions

How big is the Balancer PCB?

It measures 100 × 83 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Balancer use?

88 parts, built around the TP4056, 74HCT164D and AO3400. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Balancer KiCad files?

From the alangecker/yabalancer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is balancer-board/balancer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Balancer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask alangecker before reusing the design.
