USB-A Power Bank Keep-Awake Load Module

Keep a compatible USB-A power bank active with a selectable extra load for low-current electronics tests.

Use only the extra load you need

• ✅ Test low-current projects without immediate shutoff — The module adds a load that can keep a compatible USB-A power bank active.
• ✅ Use only the extra load your bank needs — Jumper settings let you test different current levels against its shutoff behaviour.
• ✅ Add the test load without a bench assembly — The small board plugs into a USB-A connection.

Some power banks switch off when the attached device draws little current. This module adds a continuous load, allowing you to test whether a suitable bank can keep its output enabled.

Start with a low setting and test the actual bank's behaviour. The extra current consumes stored energy and can make the module warm, so it is unsuitable for maximising long standby time; it does not provide data or activate fast charging.
