⚠ WARNING: lithium batteries can catch fire if they are damaged, shorted or charged incorrectly. Always protect your battery in your wearables: keep it away from sharp edges and pins, never sew through it, insulate every connection, use a protection circuit and a LiPo-compatible charger, and never leave it charging unattended.

Details

A rechargeable 3.7V lithium polymer battery, pre-fitted with a JST PH 2.0mm 2-pin connector. Good capacity for its size when you want longer run time on a wearable. It is thicker than our 110mAh and 600mAh batteries, so check it fits your design.

  • Voltage: 3.7V nominal (4.2V fully charged)
  • Capacity: 500mAh
  • Model: 902030
  • Size: about 30 mm long x 20 mm wide x 9 mm thick
  • Weight: 9.5 g
  • Connector: JST PH 2.0mm, 2-pin (optional: you can cut it off and use the bare wires)

How long will it run?

As a guide, for a strip of 10 WS2812B (NeoPixel) LEDs driven by a small ESP32 dev board (roughly 80mA while running):

  • Gentle animations at low brightness: about 2 to 2.5 hours
  • Bright colour effects: about 1 hour
  • All 10 LEDs at full white: about 40 minutes

These are estimates. Real run time depends on your board, brightness and effects.

Charging it

Pair it with our Lithium Battery Charging Board, a tiny USB-C charger with built-in protection that is small enough to sew into a garment. The board takes soldered battery wires, so cut off the JST connector and solder the red and black wires to it.

Safety and shipping

  • Check polarity before plugging in or cutting anything. JST connectors from different suppliers can be wired the opposite way round, so confirm which wire is positive with a multimeter.
  • If you cut the connector off, cut one wire at a time and cover each end straight away so they cannot touch and short.
  • Do not puncture, crush or short the battery.
  • Limit of 3 batteries per order in total, due to postal regulations for lithium batteries. Each is securely wrapped for shipping.
