3S Li-ion Battery Protection Board — Code 14 Product Brief

Overview

This protection board is built around PWCHIP’s proprietary PW7127 protection IC and four PW4406A MOSFETs. It provides complete overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection for 3S lithium-ion battery packs (three cells in series, 11.1 V nominal, 12.6 V fully charged). The board supports a continuous discharge current of 6 A, with an overcurrent protection threshold of approximately 14 A. It integrates the PW2213 balancing IC to effectively extend battery pack service life, and also supports NTC temperature protection for enhanced safety.

Main Control IC

PW7127 is a protection IC specifically designed for 3-cell lithium-ion battery packs. It integrates overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection, supports high-precision voltage detection, and includes NTC temperature protection to prevent overheating.

PW2213 is a high-precision cell balancing IC. It effectively eliminates voltage differences between cells, extends battery pack service life, and ensures consistent charge/discharge performance.

Key Features

· PW7127 with built-in NTC temperature protection prevents battery overheating.

· Four PW4406A SOP8 MOSFETs in parallel deliver ~14 A overcurrent protection and 6 A continuous discharge.

· Three-cell balancing with PW2213 automatically equalizes the voltage of all three cells.

· The combination of temperature protection and cell balancing provides dual assurance for safety and cycle life.

· Ideal for high-current 3S battery pack applications with stringent safety requirements.
