LIR2450 Li-Ion Battery and Charger
LIR2450 is a coin cell, Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. Physically the same size as CR2450, LIR2450 can be used as a rechargeable replacement to CR2450 in most cases.
This little battery has little over 100 mA/Hour capacity, with nominal 3.6 V output. This battery is perfect for powering a small project.
The problem (for me) was that there were only poor quality chargers available for this very useful battery. Since I could not find a good charger for it, I made one.
This charger is based on the popular MCP73831 by Microchip to charge Lithium-Ion battery safely.
The charger is very compact and plugs right into an USB port.
Features/Notes:
- Compact design plugs into an USB port
- Charge/Done LEDs indicate the charge status
- Charge current: 45 mA typical
- Charge time: about 3 hours
- Dimension: 1.15 x 1.45 x 0.38 inches
