The 3S 20A Lithium Battery Protection Board is a high-performance Battery Management System (BMS) designed for 3-cell lithium-ion battery packs. Compatible with 3.6V and 3.7V lithium batteries, including 18650, 26650, and lithium polymer cells, this board provides comprehensive protection and reliable power management for a wide range of battery-powered applications.
Featuring an automatic recovery function, the BMS restores normal operation once fault conditions are cleared, ensuring uninterrupted performance and enhanced battery safety. With support for continuous charge and discharge currents up to 20A, it is ideal for high-power applications such as cordless drills, electric sprayers, LED lighting systems, robotics, and low-power inverters.
The board incorporates multiple low-resistance MOSFETs and a balancing circuit to improve battery efficiency, extend battery life, and maintain consistent performance across all connected cells.

Installation Guidelines
Connect battery groups strictly according to the voltage sequence: 0V → 4.2V → 8.4V → 12.6V.
Never intentionally short-circuit the protection board.
Ensure all battery groups have similar voltage levels before connecting them in series.
For optimal performance, charge each battery group individually if voltage differences exist.
When used with brushed DC motors, connect a non-polar capacitor (10µF–100µF, minimum 25V rating) across the motor terminals to suppress voltage spikes and protect the MOSFETs.
Important Notes
Standard low-drain 18650 cells may not be suitable for powering high-current tools such as drills.
For drill applications, use high-discharge-rate battery cells (15C–20C recommended).
Ensure adequate ventilation and cooling when operating near maximum current ratings.
Monitor battery condition regularly and replace weak cells to maintain balanced pack performance.
