Photon Battery Shield With Solar Panels

Based around the mcp73871 battery management controller this shield allows you to simultaneously power a photon and charge a connected li ion or li po battery.

Photon battery shield with solar panels.

The battery shield has everything your photon needs to run off charge and monitor a lipo battery. You ll also be able to monitor battery levels using the photon itself which makes the power shield the best way to untether your wireless project. The shield features two unique ic s. At photon brothers we can install a powerwall solution into any existing solar system whether we originally installed it or not.

An mcp73831 charge controller and a max17043 lipo fuel gauge. The board comes with a jst connector for your single cell lipo battery and utilizes the photons on. With the tesla powerwall your family can make more use of the solar power saved from your panels by storing the excess easily. The sparkfun photon battery shield provides you with an easy way to power your photon module with a lithium polymer battery.

You ll also be able to monitor battery levels using the photon itself which makes the power shield the best way to untether your wireless project. Not only can the battery shield power you photon but you will also be able to charge a lipo battery through it as well. Backup power when you need it.
