Product description: DFRobot Solar Power Manager 9 V / 12 V / 18 V
Modulethat manages energyfromsolar panels. Powered by9 V/12V /18V panels. It has a converter with three individual ON / OFF buttons and outputs:
- 5 V / 1.5 A;
- 3.3 V / 1 A;
- 9 V / 0.5 A,
- 12 V / 0.5 A,
Thus, it can be used as a charger of3.7 V Li-Pol packsor USB charger. The module has also a number of protections: against reverse polarity, too high temperature, short circuit.
Example of connection withArduino.
Main features of DFRobot Solar Power Manager
