Well, this is disappointing. The TP4057 USB-C charger module what arrived this afternoon has a problem. I do not mind that they have changed one of the LEDs to green instead of blue. What I am not happy is that the board is slightly bigger than the earlier ones. I am not sure what happened as the image on the Website showed exactly like the one I had previously bought.
What can I do?
Honestly, there is not much I can do except to bitch about it. The module which I bought in 2023 uses a TP4056 chip and is now hard to find. The latest would be the TP4057 version. The only difference is that the TP4057 offers a 500mA charging current as opposed to TP4056’s better 1000mA. But that would not be a problem since the LiPo batteries that fits into the Clip is quite small and therefore, its capacity would not exceed 350mA. With today’s event, it is time to re-design the charger board again. I mean, it still has to be done anyway, with or without the mistake as the TP4057 is now on the market while the TP4056 version is becoming obscenely expensive.
Where to get what (no, not the Boards and I have not produced them, not even a link to sell them yet):
