The Linear EPS Module is a low-cost Electrical Power System (EPS) designed to power a CubeSat stack of modules during development and testing; it is not intended for use in space. Its batteries are recharged via USB when its installed on a Dev Board (DB) or Motherboard Module (MBM). A three-segment LED bargraph is used to indicate progress when charging and State-of-Charge (SOC) when discharging. An optional extra battery doubles its energy capacity.

Includes one complete Linear EPS Module with either 10Wh capacity (standard battery) or 20Wh capacity (double battery).
The Linear EPS is an inexpensive way to provide a CubeSat with a few Watts of quiet +5Vdc and +3.3Vdc power from a battery source. It is not intended for use in space, and has no provisions for interfacing to solar cells. Typical usage scenarios are for demonstrations, remote operation with testing chambers, and balloon flights.
The Linear EPS Module automatically switches to charge mode when +5V_USB on the CubeSat Kit Bus Connector is present; when charging, no power is provided on +5V_SYS and VCC_SYS, and VBATT is indeterminate. When +5V_USB is removed, the Linear EPS Module switches to discharge mode, providing +5Vdc to +5V_SYS and +3.3Vdc to VCC_SYS; VBATT is the voltage of a series-connected pair ("2S") of Lithium Polymer batteries (6-8.4Vdc). The Lithium-Polymer batteries are protected against overvoltage (OV), overcurrent (OC) and undervoltage (UV).

This module is compatible with all CubeSats that conform to the CubeSat Kit Bus standard with its 104-pin connector
