Questions

How big is the BatteryPod PCB?

It measures 71.5 × 86.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BatteryPod use?

41 parts, built around the CAT24C256LI, TPS25750DRJKR and CDEP15D90T150NP-220MC-125. 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 BatteryPod KiCad files?

From the cryptoAlgorithm/BatteryPod repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BatteryPod.kicad_pcb and its schematic BatteryPod.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BatteryPod design in my own project?

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