Questions
How big is the Li Po Charger PCB?
It measures 40 × 23 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.
What parts does the Li Po Charger use?
34 parts, built around the ME6211C33M5G-N, TP4056-42-ESOP8, B5818WS and IRLML6401. 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 Po Charger KiCad files?
From the valeronm/Li-Po-Charger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Li-Po Charger.kicad_pcb and its schematic Li-Po Charger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Li Po Charger 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).
