How to Use batteryERA: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The batteryERA (ETCV.03) is an electrochemical storage device manufactured by ElectroEra, designed to convert chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions. This component is essential in a wide range of applications, from portable electronics to backup power systems, and is known for its reliability and efficiency.

• Portable electronic devices (e.g., flashlights, handheld gadgets)
• Backup power for emergency systems
• Power supply for small-scale robotics
• Energy storage for renewable energy systems
• DIY projects and educational purposes

• Nominal Voltage: 3.7V
• Capacity: 2200mAh
• Maximum Charging Voltage: 4.2V
• Maximum Discharge Current: 2A
• Chemistry: Lithium-Ion
• Cycle Life: >500 cycles
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 60°C

1. Initial Inspection: Before using the batteryERA, inspect it for any physical damage or deformities.
2. Charging: Use a compatible charger with a maximum voltage of 4.2V. Do not overcharge.
3. Discharging: Do not exceed the maximum discharge current of 2A to prevent overheating.
4. Connection: Connect the positive terminal to the positive input of your load and the negative terminal to the negative input.
5. Monitoring: Always monitor the battery temperature and voltage during charging and discharging.

• Avoid exposing the batteryERA to extreme temperatures or moisture.
• Do not puncture, crush, or disassemble the battery.
• Use a battery management system (BMS) for charging and discharging to ensure safety.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Recycle the battery properly at the end of its life cycle.

• Battery not charging: Ensure the charger is functioning and the connections are secure. Check for any damage to the battery.
• Reduced capacity: This may indicate the battery is nearing the end of its life cycle. Consider replacing it if performance is significantly degraded.
• Overheating during use: Reduce the load or discontinue use to allow the battery to cool down.

• Q: Can the batteryERA be used in series or parallel configurations?

  • A: Yes, but it is crucial to match batteries of the same age and capacity to prevent imbalances.

• Q: What should I do if the batteryERA gets wet?

  • A: Disconnect it from any circuit and allow it to dry completely. Check for any signs of damage before reuse.

• Q: Is it necessary to fully discharge the battery before recharging?

  • A: No, lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect and can be charged at any state of discharge.

// Example code to monitor battery voltage using Arduino UNO

const int batteryPin = A0; // Connect battery positive terminal to A0

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(batteryPin);
  float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0); // Convert the reading to voltage
  Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
  Serial.println(voltage);
  delay(1000); // Wait for a second before reading again
}

Note: This example assumes a direct connection between the battery and the Arduino analog pin. In practice, a voltage divider or level shifter may be required to match the Arduino's input voltage range.
