Excellent power supply system makes power supply for equipment more convenient

Featuring an excellent power supply system, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 provides convenient device power options. It integrates battery charging management for lithium batteries, enabling charging via Type-C, 5V DC, and solar power. The solar charging capability resolves challenges posed by scenarios without power lines, such as balconies, windows, and rooftops. The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 utilizes the same solar power management chip as the 5V@1A solar power management module, incorporating maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to maximize the output power of the solar panel under various lighting conditions. Additionally, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports battery level monitoring to take necessary measures when the battery is low, ensuring continuous device operation.
