4.4.1 Battery Pack Characteristics
SIM808 has optimized the charging algorithm for the Li-Ion battery that meets the characteristics listed below.
z The maximum charging voltage of the Li-Ion battery pack is 4.2V and the recommended capacity is
1100mAh. The Battery packs with more than 1100 mAh capacity will take more time for charging.
z The battery pack should have a protection circuit to avoid overcharging, deep discharging and over-current,
and the circuit should be insensitive to pulsed current.
z The internal resistance of the battery pack including protection circuit should be as low as possible. Its
recommended value does not exceed 150m.
z The battery pack must be protected from reverse pole connection.
On the SIM808, the build-in circuit of the power management chipset monitors the supply voltage constantly.
Once the Under-voltage is detected, the SIM808 will be powered down automatically.
