Features
- Main Chip: IP5306 handles both 2.1A battery charging and 2.4A synchronous 5V boosting.
- Custom 3-LED Layout: Configured with 3 specific status indicators showing Power Connected, Capacity >25%, and Capacity >75%.
- Thermal Design: Uses the ESOP-8 package with the exposed bottom power pad soldered directly to ground vias for cooling.
- 5V Output: Solid 5V power line capable of supplying up to 2.1A to drive microcontrollers, displays, or peripherals.
- Battery Connector: Standard right-angle 2-pin JST-XH socket keeping the battery wire connection flat and low-profile.
Core Components Used
- Power Management IC: Injoinic IP5306
- Power Inductor: SWPA6045S1R0NT (1.0µH, 5.6A saturation current, 6x6x4.5mm SMD package)
- Spike Filter: Murata 0.1µF 50V X7R 0603 Ceramic Cap.
- Indicators: 0805 LEDs of different colours with 1kΩ resistors

Questions
How big is the Battery module PCB?
It measures 33.9 × 33.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Battery module use?
32 parts, built around the IP5306. 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 Battery module KiCad files?
From the thesiliconknight/Hack-A-Charge-Module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SRC/battery module.kicad_pcb and its schematic SRC/battery module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Battery module design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
