• Electric Vehicles (EVs): Powering electric cars, scooters, and bicycles.
• Renewable Energy Systems: Energy storage for solar panels and wind turbines.
• IoT Devices: Sensors, trackers, and other low-power devices.
• Robotics: Powering motors and control systems in robots.

The following table outlines the key technical details of the JTES Lithium Battery (JTESC00011):

The JTES Lithium Battery typically has two terminals:

Note: Ensure proper polarity when connecting the battery to avoid damage.

1. Connection:

   • Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive input of your circuit.
   • Connect the negative terminal to the ground (GND) of your circuit.
   • Use a battery holder or soldered connections for secure mounting.

2. Charging:

   • Use a dedicated lithium-ion battery charger with a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charging profile.
   • Ensure the charging voltage does not exceed 4.2V and the charging current is within the specified range (1A standard, 2A maximum).

3. Discharging:

   • Do not allow the battery voltage to drop below 2.5V to prevent damage.
   • Use a protection circuit module (PCM) or battery management system (BMS) to monitor and protect the battery during operation.

4. Safety Precautions:

   • Avoid short-circuiting the terminals.
   • Do not expose the battery to fire, water, or extreme temperatures.
   • Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use.

The JTES Lithium Battery can be used to power an Arduino UNO via its VIN pin. Below is an example circuit and code:

• Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the VIN pin of the Arduino UNO.
• Connect the negative terminal to the GND pin of the Arduino UNO.
• Use a 5V voltage regulator if the battery voltage exceeds the Arduino's input voltage range.

// Example code to blink an LED using an Arduino UNO powered by a lithium battery
// Ensure the battery voltage is regulated to avoid damaging the Arduino

const int ledPin = 13; // Pin connected to the onboard LED

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);                // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);                // Wait for 1 second
}

• Always use a protection circuit to prevent overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits.
• Avoid puncturing or physically damaging the battery.
• Dispose of the battery responsibly according to local regulations.

1. Can I use this battery in series or parallel configurations?

   • Yes, but ensure all batteries are of the same type, capacity, and charge level. Use a BMS for safety.

2. How do I know when the battery is fully charged?

   • The charger will typically indicate full charge when the current drops to a minimal level at 4.2V.

3. What happens if the battery is over-discharged?

   • Over-discharging can permanently damage the battery. Use a PCM or BMS to prevent this.

4. Can I use this battery in extreme temperatures?

   • The battery operates best between -20°C and 60°C. Avoid using it outside this range to prevent performance degradation.
