Key Protections and How They Work

• Overcharge Protection: Cuts off charging when individual cell voltage approaches the safe threshold (around 4.25 ±0.05V per cell) to prevent overheating and cell damage.
• Over-discharge Protection: Disconnects output when cell voltage drops below safe limits (around 2.7 ±0.1V per cell) to preserve capacity and lifespan.
• Overcurrent and Short-Circuit Protection: Detects sudden current surges and short circuits, shutting down the output. Typical overcurrent threshold is around 12A for protection events.
• Cell Balancing: Passive balancing maintains uniform voltage between the two cells during charge cycles to avoid one cell degrading faster than the other.
• Automatic Recovery: After a fault condition clears and voltages/currents return to safe ranges, the module automatically resumes normal operation without manual reset.
