A dual-slot 18650 battery holder with built-in charging and regulated power outputs, perfect for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and portable electronics projects. Simply install two 18650 lithium batteries and use the multiple 5V and 3.3V output ports to run your devices.

The holder features both Micro-USB and USB-C charging inputs, overcharge and over-discharge protection to extend battery lifespan, and a DIP switch to select between Normal and Hold output modes.

Key Features

  • Dual 18650 Battery Slots – Install two 18650 lithium cells for extended runtime
  • Dual Charging Input – Micro-USB and USB-C inputs for flexible charging
  • Multiple Outputs – 5× 5V/2A ports, 5× 3.3V/1A ports, and 1× USB output
  • Battery Protection – Built-in overcharge and over-discharge protection
  • Output Mode Switch – DIP switch for Normal (auto-shutdown at low current) or Hold (continuous output) modes
  • LED Indicator – Blinks while charging, stops blinking when fully charged

Specifications

  • 5V Output: 2A (maximum 3A)
  • 3.3V Output: 1A
  • Charging Input: Micro-USB and USB-C
  • Output Ports: 5× 5V, 5× 3.3V, 1× USB
  • Protection: Overcharge and over-discharge
  • Battery Type: 18650 lithium (not included)

Ideal For

  • Portable power for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller projects
  • Outdoor equipment and field data logging
  • DIY smart vehicles and robotics
  • Mobile sensor stations and IoT devices

Package Contents

  • 1× 2-Way 18650 Battery Holder
Warning: Pay close attention to battery polarity when installing — the + and − markings are clearly printed on the board. Inserting batteries in the wrong direction will damage the module. The maximum output current is 3A, but sustained use at 3A is not recommended. Actual output depends on the quality of the 18650 batteries used.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DIP switch
A DIP switch is a small set of physical on/off switches used to configure hardware settings without software. It matters because changing features such as auto power-on or charging limits may require moving these tiny switches correctly.
IoT
Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
USB-C
USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
