TTGO constantly restarts with the following message: Brownout detector was triggered #165

We have some TTGO-SIM7000G devices with problems.

The TTGO device has a 2500mAh 18650 battery and a 6V8W solar panel, we have tested by connecting the solar panel directly and also including a 7805 linear regulator to the TTGO, in both cases the following problem occurs.

When the battery is fully charged (indicator LED green) and the solar panel is exposed to a good amount of sunlight (supplying 5VDC), the TTGO constantly restarts with the following message:

This stops happening when the solar panel is disconnected, or when the battery begins to discharge, for this reason we can assure that it is a problem between the battery charge and the solar panel.

I have the same problem and in addition the Sim module does not get a connection when powered by the battery. Only if powered with USB it connects. Is there a problem with some voltage regulators? Any idea how I can resolve this? Looking for help ...

You said it works when you disconnect the solar cell? This could be a problem with the solar panels

tulingBerg commented 2 years ago

Yes, status is on. As I mentioned it works well if powered over USB. Only if powered by the 18650 (fully charged) I have problem with brownout when I switch modem on.

LilyGO commented 2 years ago

I did not encounter the situation you described when I used 18650. What 18650 do you use? How about another one?

tulingBerg commented 2 years ago

I also tried directly from my DC power supply with same effect. On the vbat at 4.5v it works perfectly (btw what is the min/max rating of vbat?). Thank you already for caring!

LilyGO commented 2 years ago

3.5~5v

tulingBerg commented 2 years ago

Thanks a lot for your support! So I assume, that the voltage regulator for the 18650 is defect... 😑
