For protected LiPo pouches: the same charger, rails, inputs, supervisor and library, with a voltage-only gauge in place of the BMS and no radio. Everything you learned on the Feather 1S applies.
Highlights
- Same pinout, same library, same safety ceilings
- No radio: for sites and customers that forbid one
- 24 µA idle, the lowest in the line
- Requires a cell with its own protection board

|---|
Outputs
| 3.3 V rail | 1.5 A continuous (measured) |

|---|
Supervisor
| Supervisor | STM32U0, Zephyr firmware, I2C at 0x36 |
|---|
| Bluetooth LE | None |
|---|
| Idle current | 24 µA outputs unloaded; 3 µA in ship mode (measured) |
|---|
| Libraries | Arduino, C, MicroPython; one register map, v1.2 |

Feather header
| 3V | 3V3 · out · Regulated 3.3 V; drives the host's 3V position |
|---|
| EN | EN (host) · out · Pulled low through a jumper closed by default, so the host's own regulator stays off |
|---|
| BAT | — · — · Not connected, by design: the host's charger must never see the battery |
|---|
| USB | — · — · Not connected, so two 5 V sources are never in parallel |
|---|
| 11 | INT · out, open drain · Event interrupt; jumper open by default |
|---|
| A2 | PG · out, open drain · Power good, both rails in regulation; jumper open by default |
|---|
| A3 | CHG_DONE · out, open drain · Charge complete; jumper open by default |
|---|
| A5 | EN5V · in, pulled up · Enable the 5 V rail; jumper open by default |
|---|
| SDA, SCL | I2C · — · Qwiic bus at 3.3 V; the supervisor answers at 0x36 |
|---|
| GND | GND · — · |
|---|
| 5V | 2-position 3.5 mm screw terminal block and a pad · Rated 2 A; switched by EN5V and set5V() |
|---|
| VSYS | Pad and castellation · Raw system rail, battery or input, whichever the power path selects |
|---|
| VBAT | Pad and castellation · Battery terminal after the BMS switch; never the host's BAT position |
|---|
| NTC | Battery connector pin 2 and a pad · 10 kΩ, B = 3435 by default; other B values are a setting |
