Li-Ion Battery Protection
The MIT License (MIT)
This is an electronics project to help protect Li-Ion batteries and the circuits they are used in. The circuit will work with two to four cells and protects the battery at the cell level. Any one cell that goes below the recomended level will cause the entire curcuit to shut down.
