Six-cell balance charger
A multi-cell battery charging design with cell monitoring, balancing, protection circuitry, and visual status feedback.
The project
Coordinate individual-cell monitoring and a flexible power input in one charging platform.
Product highlights
- Six-cell Li-ion / LiPo charging and balancing architecture.
- USB Power Delivery input negotiation up to 20 V in the design scope.
- Voltage monitoring, protection circuitry, and LED-based cell-status indication.
How we approached it
For hardware like the Six-cell balance charger, we treat layout, protection and testability as one problem. Component placement, power paths and connectors (6S Li-ion / LiPo, USB-PD) are planned with manufacturing and debugging in mind, not only for the first prototype.
Protection circuitry, test points and clear status indication make boards easier to bring up, validate and repair. Designs are prepared so a manufacturer can build and test them without guesswork.
