🔌 How to Connect the Pins

• VIN+ / VIN-: Where you can solder a 5V power source directly if you do not want to use the USB port.
• BAT+: Connects to the Positive (+) terminal of your 3S battery pack.
• BAT- / GND: Connects to the Negative (-) terminal of your 3S battery pack.

⚠️ Crucial Safety Note:

Most basic 3S booster modules do not balance the individual battery cells. To prevent fire risks and extend battery life, you must connect a 3S BMS (Battery Management System) board directly to your cells, and then connect this booster module to the BMS input.
