Old lower cost version and new updated version
? The boards I bought appear to have 3 ICs on them. The TP4056, a DW01A and an 8205A, the latter 2 being lithium protection ICs (both with charge and discharge protection). Iām not sure what you mean.
You got the right one, thereās an older cheaper version without those 2 ic

Oh cool, thatās what I thought. Still confused why thereās 2 ICs on there that seem to do the same thing, but hey, as long as they do their thing I donāt really care 
Yep I understand that bit, I think you are misunderstanding me. Perhaps this will make it more clear:
But really I was just commenting on the fact that thereās 2 ICs that seem to do the same thing. I wasnāt really asking anyone to explain it for me 
Oh lol. I believe 1 is used for over and 1 for under protection
Oh righto, yeah probably. I did vaguely wonder that but the thoughts never continued down that path
This is a pretty cool little board. More useful than I thought.
What is that for? I mean obviously for charging, but what kind of battery would fit in that holder that could be charged by a 1S lipo charger?
18650 bro lol
Oh wow that must be smaller than it looks. I think I mistook the size of it 
So does your controller run on 18650s? Or do you plan to charge each of your boardās cells individually in an emergency?
oh lol, I guess I would as well
