What this product is A 1S Battery Management System (BMS) designed for 3.2V lithium batteries, providing reliable protection and charging control for single-cell packs. Key benefits — why you need it Protects the cell from common failure modes: prevents short circuit and overcharge and helps maintain safe operation. Matches application current requirements with selectable ratings (12A, 16A, 25A), so you can choose the right performance for your device. Compact 1S configuration fits single-cell 18650 battery applications, simplifying integration into small battery packs and devices. Built-in charging control at 4.2V to ensure proper charge termination for the cell during charging. Main features Function: short-circuit protection, overcharge prevention, and general battery safety control. Compatibility: made for 3.2V lithium batteries in a 1S configuration; suitable for 18650 lithium cells. Performance options: available current ratings of 12A, 16A, and 25A to suit different load and application needs. Charging specification: charging voltage set at 4.2V to provide controlled charging. Practical applications (use scenarios) Portable power banks and backup power modules using single 18650 cells that require reliable overcharge and short-circuit protection. High-performance LED flashlights or portable lighting where a protected single-cell 18650 pack is required and moderate to high continuous current is needed. DIY single-cell battery packs for small electronics, sensor modules, or hobby projects where a compact 1S BMS with selectable current ratings simplifies safe integration. Integration notes Use the current rating that matches your continuous and peak load to maintain safe operation and extend battery life. The 1S form factor is optimized for single 18650 cell assemblies and straightforward to incorporate into compact battery housings. This BMS delivers straightforward, dependable protection and charging control for single-cell 18650 lithium battery applications, with multiple current options to match different performance needs.
