Battery Compatibility (for Protective Case versions)

The FoBE Mesh Tracker C1 protective case is designed to protect the FoBE Mesh Tracker C1 development board(F2102) and provides space for an optional compact internal LiPo battery. 

Supported battery specifications:

  • Type: Single-cell Lithium-polymer rechargeable battery (3.7V nominal, 4.2V full charge)
  • Connector: MX1.25 2-pin
  • Maximum physical dimensions: 12 mm (T) × 30 mm (W) × 50 mm (L)
  • Built-in protection circuit (PCM) is strongly recommended

❗️❗️❗️ IMPORTANT: Always verify polarity before connecting the battery!

  • Connect board "+" terminal to battery positive (typically red wire). 
  • Connect board "−" terminal to battery negative (typically black wire).

⚠️ ⚠️⚠️REVERSED POLARITY WILL IMMEDIATELY DAMAGE THE BOARD AND MAY CAUSE THE BATTERY TO OVERHEAT, LEAK, CATCH FIRE, OR EXPLODE.

Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under warranty.

Verified compatible batteries (perfect or near-perfect fit):

  • 103047 → 10×30×47–48 mm | 1500–1800 mAh
  • 112945 → 11×29×45–46 mm | 1400–1600 mAh
  • 903048 → 9×30×48 mm | 1500–1700 mAh
  • 803048 → 8×30×48–49 mm | 1200–1500 mAh

Note:

  • Batteries with built-in protection PCB/PCM are typically 0.5–2 mm thicker or longer.
  • Actual dimensions and capacity may vary slightly by manufacturer. Please refer to the specific parameters provided by your supplier.
  • Batteries can be purchased from Amazon, AliExpress, or qualified local suppliers.
