Electrical Engineering Asked by Blots on November 23, 2020
Here is what I’d like to do: Wire a circuit that can either charge or discharge a single li-ion cell (3.0 to 4.2 V) or just do nothing at all. An ESP32 controls the circuit (max. 3.3 V). An INA219 monitors current and voltage (but that is the least of my issues).
For charging, I am planning to use a TP4056 module which would be permanently connected to a USB power supply. For the discharge, I’ll be using a load resistor and a MOSFET (Q1) as variable load. This N-channel MOSFET also acts as a switch, to turn off the discharging process when pulled to ground. Here is the schematic:
I am pretty sure that the second N-channel MOSFET (Q2) would not work in this configuration. Probably a P-channel would do the job, but that I am not sure of and neither do I know if I can control a P-channel MOSFET by directly connecting it to a GPIO pin of the ESP32.
Now my questions:
