RAK19012 Low Voltage Cutoff

Does the RAK19012 (and similar RAK products) have a low voltage cutoff to protect LiPo and Lithium Ion (like 18650) batteries at full discharge state?

Welcome to RAK forum @lithoss ,

The charger IC will cut off the charging and manages the CC-CV charging phase. However, there is no mechanism to cut off the battery if the voltage is too low. If this feature is needed, you can have external PCM on your battery.

I see lots of people running Rak wireless devices with 18650’s, what are they using for low voltage protection?

I can’t exactly say. If they have a dashboard where can trigger some alerts, probably that’s one way and they will get notified of battery is too low.

Is the integrated charge IC in the RAK19012 compatible with a charger/BMS like this one?

Yes. It should work fine.
