You don't have two common grounds, the whole sense of the term is "common", is exactly that, it is common to both source and load.

The only explanation is that the labeling is wrong, or the diagram they show with the product is wrong.

Do we need Brian in here for an opinion?

lol, I saw the opening post and thought the device Neil posted was pretty straightforward.

In looking at the pic below, it should be pretty obvious that the battery + and load + are common.

Which would mean there are two grounds?


@Chadworkz: I thought the module would be supposed to be separate from th charger device, as in only the lipo, module, and a connector (for charging AND connecting to the device, but not at the same time)

Two grounds? I think we are all making this a WHOLE lot more complex than it is. See the pic below.




They probably made it like this so that the "charger" also powers the circuit when it is plugged in, kinda like a laptop or whatever.
