Can you charge and use a LiPo battery at the same time?

I have a system that uses an Arduino Uno board as a "brain". All the elements in the system are powered by a single LiPo battery (3cell, 11.1V, 1800mAh). I made a circuit so the arduino can check the battery voltage and decide when it needs to…

USB and Arduino: Power Arduino, charge LiPo, and transfer data at the same time

I was hoping to design my own Arduino board for a recent project of mine, a portable project that was powered by a 3.7 LiPo battery. Most ideally, I wanted to replace the USB B port with a single USB Micro port that implements the following…

LiPo + charge/boost circuit vs pre-built "power bank" - contrasting portable power sources

Portable 5V power for my projects - I was about to get the necessary parts to wire up an OEM LiPo battery (3.7V battery, boost circuit, charging circuit) when I took a peak at pre-built "power banks". From all the sources I see the LiPo batteries…

Need to turn on project twice in order for screen to work!

This problem is really stumping me. I made a simple printed circuit board with an ATtiny85, a 128x64 I2C OLED display, and a Sharp IR analog distance sensor. You can view the circuit here: circuits.io. If I turn the system on using the simple 3-pin…

Relay + Arduino uses too much power for battery to handle. Which solution is best?

You can see in my crumby schematic that I am using a Non-latching relay to turn on a 3A circuit (one of them arc lighters), which is powered by a 25C (supposedly) lipo battery. That same battery also powers an Arduino through a TP4056. This works…
