Notecarrier B: LiPo charging from Solar?

Hardware Notecarrier B
2

Hi @gauteh,

Unfortunately, no, the Notecarrier-B is not suitable for charging a LiPo via solar. The Notecarrier-B uses an MCP73831 which is not suited to the nature of solar panels, which generate extremely weak levels of charge current. The SOLAR input of the Notecarrier-A is designed for this purpose, using a BQ24210.

Thanks,
Rob
