Li-Ion Battery Protection


The MIT License (MIT)

This is an electronics project to help protect Li-Ion batteries and the circuits they are used in. The circuit will work with two to four cells and protects the battery at the cell level. Any one cell that goes below the recomended level will cause the entire curcuit to shut down.

Questions

How big is the Li IonBatteryProtection PCB?

It measures 147.2 × 58.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Li IonBatteryProtection use?

81 parts, built around the LM311N, 2N2222A and IRF540N. 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 Li IonBatteryProtection KiCad files?

From the cnobile2012/Li-IonBatteryProtection repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Li-IonBatteryProtection.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Li IonBatteryProtection design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
