Frequently Asked Questions

A single rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides a nominal voltage of about 3.7V, which is too low to power standard 5V USB devices. The boost converter steps this voltage up to the required 5V output.
The project specifies a 3.7V / 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery (Samsung type 18650). You should use a compatible, high-quality 18650 cell that matches these electrical specifications.
The TP4056 module acts as a dedicated lithium-ion battery charger, safely managing the electrical current and voltage supplied to the 18650 battery during the charging cycle from a USB source.
