4. Battery interfaces: Connect a 3.7V rechargeable Li battery using the screw terminal or the PH2.0 4P connector.
5. SW6106: USB power management chip, responsible for USB charging and 5V/3A boost output.
6. CN3791: Solar power management chip, for solar panel charging and buck input.
7. XB8886A: Li battery over-charge / over-discharge protection chip.
8. Battery capacity indicators: LEDs that light up when charging or under load. They will turn off after 30 seconds when there is no load connected.
9. Indicadores de carga del panel solar: "Charge" LED indicates active solar panel charging. "Done" LED indicates when the battery is fully charged by the solar panel.

4.1. Instalación de la batería

Insert 3.7V 18650 Li-ion batteries (not included) into the provided battery holder, ensuring correct polarity. Connect the battery holder's output to the module's battery interface (4) using either the screw terminal or the PH2.0 4P connector.

4.2. Entrada de energía

Connect your solar panel to the "SOLAR IN" terminals (1) or use a Type-C power adapter with the Type-C input (2). The module will automatically detect and adapt to the input voltagy del panel solar.

4.3. Conexión de salida

Connect your target device or load to the "5V OUT" screw terminals (3). This output provides a regulated 5V/3A power supply.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Once the solar panel (or Type-C adapter) and battery are connected, the module will begin charging the battery and providing regulated 5V output. Monitor the LED indicators for operational status.

• Estado de carga: The "Charge" LED (9) will illuminate when the solar panel is actively charging the battery. The "Done" LED (9) will light up when the battery is fully charged by the solar panel.
• Capacidad de la batería: The battery capacity indicators (8) will show the approximate charge level (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) when charging or under load. These LEDs will turn off after 30 seconds if no load is connected.
• Función MPPT: The module automatically adjusts its charging parameters to extract maximum power from the solar panel, especially under varying light conditions.
