Questions

How big is the Hw charger PCB?

It measures 100 × 65 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hw charger use?

164 parts, built around the BQ25756RRVR, ME6203A50M3G, BSC0702LS and VS-2EFH02HM3/I. 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 Hw charger KiCad files?

From the xtech/hw-module-charger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw-charger.kicad_pcb and its schematic Charger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hw charger design in my own project?

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