I want to power a device from a battery and be able to plug it in a power source (PC). Will this circuit work?

    \$\begingroup\$ @VasilKalchev: That is very interesting but why are you telling us this? Do you have a question? Do you have datasheet links to the devices mentioned? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ The question got lost in the alt tag of the schematic. I'm asking if it will work. 3.3V LDO voltage regulator, P MOSFET, logic level, TP4056 Li-ion charger, the batteries are 18650 Li-ion. I don't want to use the diode circuit because half the battery won't get used. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 11, 2017 at 14:43
  • \$\begingroup\$ Whenever you close SW1, you'll be shorting 5V to BAT+ through the body diode of M2. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ The datasheet you linked to says the dropout voltage is ~1-1.2V for the regulator you selected. You might want to consider a different part. \$\endgroup\$
