## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR1026:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR1026:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This two-in-one DC-DC charge and discharge module offers a max 2A load current and 5V output (Normally open). It features 4 levels of charge/discharge electricity indication and button-controlled output. The module comes with a built-in power management circuit that boosts a lithium battery to 5V and supports charging and discharging simultaneously. Besides, it has battery protection which makes it applicable for batteries without a protective board,

This module can be applied to car charging retrofit, DIY mobile power bank, and mobile phone/laptop portable charging devices.

Note: The KEY function is invalid in charging mode. In discharging mode, short press the button once to enable output, and the indicator turns on; Long press for about 10s to disable the output, and the indicator turns off this time. The indicator goes off after 35s when there is no operation in discharging mode. Ensure that the total output power is less than the total input power if you want to run your project indefinitely.
