TP5100 VS TP4056: Differences between charging and protection modules

Q: What is TP4056 used for?

The TP4056 is a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for single-cell lithium-ion batteries. Its SOP package and low external component count make the TP4056 ideally suited for portable applications.

Q: How do I use the TP4056 charging module?

The TP4056 module is powered by a 5V supply from a micro USB cable or the IN+ and IN- solder pads. For the charger to correctly charge a battery connected at the output terminals, a current of at least 1A is necessary. Connect the B+ and B- connections to the cell you want to charge.

Q: Does TP4056 have protection?

The TP4056 chip is a lithium-Ion battery charger for a single cell battery, protecting the cell from over and undercharging. It has two status outputs indicating charging in progress and charging complete.

Q: Can I use TP4056 to charge LiPo?

Single-chip solutions are now widely available for Li-Po battery charging.

What is TP5100?

The TP5100 is a single lithium battery charge management module with a step-down voltage of 8.4V/4.2V. It has over current, under-voltage, and short circuit safety built-in. It also protects against overheating and reverse battery shutdown.

What is TP4056?

The TP4056 chip is a single-cell lithium-ion battery charger that protects the cell against overcharging and undercharging. It features two status outputs, one for charging in progress and the other for charging completed. It also features a 1A charging current that can be programmed.

Because the functional input voltage range is 4V to 8V, you can charge batteries straight from a USB port. However, keep in mind that a USB port's maximum current is 500mA.
