I. Introduction

The 21700 power module is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi and can supply power to it via pogo pins or a USB port. The board is divided into two areas. On the left side, there is a typical power bank design where charging and discharging share the same port. This means that connecting an external power source will charge the battery, while connecting a device will allow it to be powered externally. The charging capacity can reach up to 2.8A, and the discharging capacity can provide up to 5V2A. The right side of the board features a battery boost circuit with a main power switch. It can supply power to the Raspberry Pi through gold-plated pogo. Additionally, it has two USB-A ports for powering other peripherals. Furthermore, battery information can be viewed via a serial interface. The battery circuit supports simultaneous charging and discharging, and it comes equipped with overcharge protection, overheat protection during charging, as well as overheat protection, overcurrent protection, undervoltage protection, and short-circuit protection during discharging. Practical tests have shown that when connected to a Raspberry Pi 4B playing 1080P video, the battery life can last up to 10 hours using the probe version.

II. Hardware Resources

1. Hardware Features

• Suitable for Raspberry Pi series motherboards, featuring two independently dual output interfaces: one at 5V2A and the other at 5V4A.

• The 5V2A port offers three types of connectors (USB-C, USB-A, micro USB) and supports simultaneous input and output. This means that when 5V is input, it enters charging mode, and when a device is connected, it switches to discharging mode.

• The 5V2A USB-A port supports charging both iPhone and Android devices.

• The 5V4A output provides stable power, functioning as a UPS. It features dual USB high-current ports that share a 4A current and can also supply power via pogo pins.

• One output switch and one output control button are provided to manage the two USB-A ports.

• The board features four LED lights for indicating the battery level.

• A battery level indicator button is provided to check the battery status.

• A power status indicator light.

• The probe version features serial communication pogo pins, while the USB version includes onboard serial communication pins. Both are used for serial communication.

• Two 21700 batteries can be connected in parallel, providing a maximum capacity of 10000mAh. The module can also operate using just one battery.

• Size: 85*56mm; Height: 38.6mm, measured from the bottom acrylic plate to the copper pillars on the board.

• The PCB board uses a gold plating process and is produced without lead. The PCB board has passed UL and ROHS certification, with a fire resistance rating of 94V-0.

2. Product Features

• The MCU is used for power management and supports serial output, which is used to indicate the battery voltage and output voltage.

• Two MOSFETs are used for output control, supporting low-voltage shutdown. They also support manual or serial command control for turning the output on or off.

• Charge head (input) detection function.

3. Serial port output characteristics

• The system automatically reports the battery voltage and output voltage, enabling the host system to estimate the system's runtime and prepare for data protection in advance. The reporting interval can be set via a command, with a default interval of 2 seconds.

• Automatically illuminate the battery level indicator LEDs for easy observation. The illumination interval can be set via a command, with a default of 1 minute.

• The low-voltage protection threshold for the battery can be set, with a default setting of 3V to shut off the output.

• The system can query the total uptime since power-on.

• The system can turn off or turn on the two output channels via commands.

• The system allows setting a button to control either one or both output channels.

Note: Current sampling is not supported.

The serial cable is used for data transmission and should be connected as shown in the following diagram:

4. Battery Description

This product uses two 21700 lithium-ion power batteries in parallel to provide power, offering long-lasting operation with a reliable discharge capability of over 10A, ensuring sufficient power for dual outputs of 5V2A and 5V4A. Switch-mode charging is used, so even if the charging current reaches 2.8A, neither the chip nor the battery will trigger overheat protection. It is recommended to use an adapter with an output capability of 5V2.5A or higher for charging. If the adapter cannot meet the 2.5A output requirement, it may result in the charger's protection mechanism kicking in (preventing charging) or even cause damage.

Battery polarity and installation instructions:

The 21700 battery has a large energy capacity. Please make sure to carefully check the orientation before inserting it into the battery holder. If inserted incorrectly, there is a risk of smoking, fire, or even explosion. For everyone's safety, please verify carefully before inserting. Do not plug or unplug unless necessary!

We will not be liable for any risks resulting from incorrect battery connection. Please use with caution. Additionally, damage to components caused by incorrect battery connection is not covered under warranty.

Damage caused to the battery or device due to charging with a user-supplied power adapter is not covered under warranty. Please use high-quality, genuine power supplies, or purchase one from our company.

5. Power indication and output control

The remaining battery level can be checked by pressing the battery level detection button:

The output control button can be used to control the output of USB1 or USB2:

6. Dual output application

One of the key features of this product is its support for dual output:

One output is 5V2A, which is always on; it can connect to three external devices simultaneously and also supports simultaneous charging and discharging, meaning one input and two outputs. Whether connecting two or three outputs simultaneously, they all share 5V2A.

One output is a high-power 5V4A output, featuring a pogo pin interface and two USB-A ports. Therefore, if using the probe version, this output port can simultaneously connect to 3 devices, sharing 5V4A.

This product can connect up to six devices simultaneously; if charging and discharging at the same time, it can connect up to five devices simultaneously. It supports the simultaneous operation of a Raspberry Pi, 4G module, servos, radar modules, and more using the same power module, solving power supply issues.

III. Interactive serial port(Raspberry Pi OS)
