Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What battery types and configurations does the IP2368 module support?
A: The IP2368 charge/discharge module supports 2S, 3S, 4S, and 5S lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. Its dimensions are perfectly matched for standard 4S 18650 battery packs, and the factory default is configured for 4S at 60W with a 4000mAh capacity. You can reconfigure capacity, power, and series cell count by adjusting the corresponding resistor values on the board.
Q: Which fast-charging protocols are supported by the Type-C port?
A: The module's Type-C port supports a wide array of fast-charging protocols including USB Power Delivery 3.0 (PD 3.0), FCP (Huawei Fast Charge), AFC (Adaptive Fast Charge), SCP (Super Charge Protocol), DRP (Dual Role Power), and SRC, making it broadly compatible with modern laptops, smartphones, and other USB-C fast-charging devices.
Q: Can I add a heat sink to this module?
A: Yes. The rear panel of the IP2368 module is intentionally left free of components, providing a flat surface that makes it easy to attach a heat sink. This is especially recommended when operating at or near the maximum 100W output to ensure consistent performance.
Q: What is the maximum power output of this module?
A: The IP2368 module supports bidirectional operation at up to 100W. This covers both charging (input) and discharging (output), making it suitable for demanding applications like drone battery packs, DIY high-capacity power banks, and RC model power systems. To achieve 100W, configure the power resistor to 25 kΩ as per the formula PCCIN = 4 × RISET.
