XIAO ESP32C power management

[msfujino]

Hi Karro,

the charge controller is BQ25101? and the charge current is set to 50mA

My mistake, the charge current is 370mA. Maybe the charge controller of XIAO_ESP32C3 is an IC like MPC73831.
See the link below.

Charging characteristics of XIAO_nRF52840 and XIAO_ESP32C3

XIAO_nRF52840 and XIAO_ESP32C3 have a built-in charging function, but since the circuit diagram was not disclosed, I assumed that they have the same circuit. I was curious and measured the charging characteristics. They are completely different, XIAO_nRF52840’s charging current can be set to 50mA or 100mA by firmware, but XIAO_ESP32C3’s is fixed and very large at 370mA, so I need to be very careful when using small capacity batteries.
