1S 3.7V 3A Li-ion BMS Protection Board — 18650 Overcharge / Overdischarge / Short Circuit (5-Pack)
This 1S (single-cell) lithium-ion BMS protection board provides complete protection for a single 3.7V Li-ion or LiPo cell (18650, 21700, or flat LiPo pouch). With 3A continuous discharge current, overcharge protection (4.25–4.35V cutoff), overdischarge protection (2.5–3.0V cutoff), and short-circuit protection, it is the essential safety component for any DIY single-cell battery pack. The compact PCB integrates the DW01A protection IC and dual FS8205A MOSFETs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between B+ / B− and P+ / P− pads on this BMS?
A: B+/B− connect directly to the battery cell terminals. P+/P− (or OUT+/OUT−) are the protected output terminals for the load. Always connect the load to P+/P− to benefit from overdischarge and short-circuit protection. Connecting the load directly to B+/B− bypasses the protection circuit.
Q: Can I charge and discharge simultaneously through this BMS?
A: Most 1S BMS boards with DW01A use a single-port design (same P+/P− for charge and discharge). Simultaneous charge and discharge is possible but the charger and load share the same port. For dedicated separate charge/discharge ports, use a dual-port BMS design. Check the specific board’s schematic for port configuration.
Q: Why does my BMS cut off at 3A even though the load draws less?
A: The 3A rating is the continuous discharge limit. If the load has high inrush current (motor startup, capacitor charging), the instantaneous current may exceed 3A and trigger the overcurrent protection. The BMS will reset automatically after the overcurrent condition clears. For loads with high inrush, use a 5A or 10A BMS instead.
