Tutorial: How to use CD60L Battery Control Module

The CC/CD60L module is a crucial component for protecting and properly managing the charge of your battery. Ideal for projects that require accurate charge management, such as drones, robots, and portable systems.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• LiPo Battery 3S
• JST Connections
• USB Cable
• Multimeter

Steps

1. Connect the CC/CD60L module to the battery using the JST connector.
2. Connect the VCC and GND pins of the module to the power circuit.
3. Connect the CHRG pin to a digital pin on the Arduino for charge control.
4. Check the operating voltage on the module’s datasheet.
5. Write an Arduino sketch to monitor the battery voltage.
6. Program the module to automatically turn off when the battery reaches the minimum voltage.
7. Test the system with a light load.
8. Verify that the module properly shuts off when the voltage drops to the protection level.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(CHRG, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int chargeStatus = digitalRead(CHRG);
  Serial.println(chargeStatus);
}

Mini project

Drone prototype project: build a small drone with the CC/CD60L module to protect the battery during flight.

Common mistakes

• Do not verify the minimum protection voltage.
• Do not correctly connect the CHRG pins.
• Do not test the system before use.
• Do not update the Arduino sketch to fit your project.

Recommended accessories
