Product Description​
The RAK19014 WisBlock Battery USB Power Slot Module is a modular power board comprising a battery connector (no charging circuitry onboard) and a USB Type-C connector used for reprogramming the WisBlock Core. It is designed for use with the WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot via the 40-pin WisBlock connector.
The RAK19014 is optimally designed to support very low-power applications since it only has a USB connector, battery connector, and a 3.3Â V switching regulator in the circuit, removing unnecessary components that cause extra current consumption.
WisBlock IO Pin Mapping Tool​
For optimal results when building a WisBlock solution, utilize the WisBlock IO Pin Mapping Tool. This tool proactively identifies compatible pins for each module combination, thereby preventing pin conflicts.

Prerequisites​
To use a RAK19014, you need at least a WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot to plug the module in. Furthermore, you need a WisBlock Core module to control the two user LEDs.
- Batteries can cause harm if not handled properly.
- 3.7Â V-4.2Â V Li-ion batteries are primarily supported. It is highly recommended not to use other types of batteries with the system unless you are familiar with the risks.
- Ensure the battery wires, both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, match the polarity on the RAK19014 board. Not all batteries have the same wiring.
- Ensure the module is secured with screws to ensure proper function.
