## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE08374:1` (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/CE08374:1.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

The **Makerverse™ USB-C LiPo Charger** can be used as a standalone charger or integrated into your next project as an installed battery charger. Charge current may be selected from four options (50mA, 150mA, 400mA, 500mA), making this charger suitable for most [2-pin, 3.7V LiPo Batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/liion-lipoly/2-pin.html) common to makers. A regulator provides 3.3V output (200mA max), and 5V from the USB connection is also available on the 4-pin breakout.

- Switch-selectable charge current between 50-500mA
- Charge Status LED
- Regulated output 3.3V, 200mA max
- The ultra-low dropout regulator is capable of fully draining battery (no battery management)
- 5V USB bus output (Only present when USB-C is plugged in)
- 2-pin JST-PH battery connector - works with our [LiPo batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries.html#category_307)
- Open source project: [Hardware Repository](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-Makerverse-USB-C-LiPo-Charger), [Schematic](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-Makerverse-USB-C-LiPo-Charger/raw/main/Documents/schematic.pdf), [LTH7R Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/LTH7R-datasheet.pdf).
 
Set the charge current with the onboard DIP switches; as seen on the bottom of the PCB:

 | **1** | **2** |  |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 50mA |
| 0 | 1 | 150mA |
| 1 | 0 | 400mA |
| 1 | 1 | 500mA |
