PLS send my stl file, THX ..., Does anyone here have it, stl? Can you forward it to us?
Lets hope that you did not become an engineer otherwise the western civilizations is doomed.
U r great sir ❤perfect solution
Older roombas have an intelligent NI-MH charger. If you put in a Lithium oack instead you DO NEED a BMS!
Bro 96 bms and around 15A of parallel charger to maintain the batteries wont heatups
Thank you
Is it safe to use with cells of unknown historic ? I need to repurpose thousands of powertool 18650 cells, how can i determine safely the capacity of everycell ?
THE USB EXTERNAL POWER CORD FRIED MY LUMIX DMC-G85 GET RID OF IT AND USE THE A/C POWER SUPPLY TYPE.
Disculpa a qué cargador o adaptador conectas los cables principales
👍 Please fix my Roomba too😢
ฝรั่งทำบ้าอะไรวะสร้างเครืองชาร์จตั้งเยอะมากเกินไปเบือเสียเงินมากเกินไป
So you buy it and then drive it like you have before. Are you in the interior of BC?
Did you use the factory charger? Dont you need to use something else like an RC charger that will give CC and CV ?
I'm pretty sure that yes, you need some modifications to make work lithium batteries in roomba in the best way, otherwise or you'll ruin the roomba or make the batteries to last for only six months.
full support tamsak always and bananas to this awesome host
any stl for your battery holder?
One thing I’ve noticed is when the powerbank gets to a certain %, the camera is no longer able to take pictures. I have an Anker 10,000mah powerbank and when it gets to around 50%, the camera shutter stops working. It kind of just ‘thumps’ and doesn’t complete taking the picture. However the camera can still remain on, it’s just unable to take the image. I’ve had the same problem with my 5000mah Energizer powerbank - seems to stop taking images when it gets to 25%. I wonder if the current from the powerbank changes as it drains and doesn’t give the camera enough power to take the shot?
@Havin'Fun Can you share the stl files for the 3d printed parts?
3d file please
Hi... I've a asking about the BMS/PCB. The version is 4S 40S? Is that correct?
4s. 4x18650.
That's what I felt like building.... Worked out that it would take 25 days 24hours a day to charge most of the cells. I ended up making a 8/16 cell charger. Small and portable! But... Down side is that the tester is only 4 cells. I could have got more of the testers, but the pack build is 'for fun'. I'm 3 weeks in and wish it was new cells. Then it's only charging that's needed.. Mine will be a run away, don't do it video coming up.... Good ideal, but you don't need the monitors as you can manually do it... I'd have some volt meters on there so you can see what's going on.
Great tip mate thank you very much. Great moustache too.
How to solve the error 5 when charging?
See @andrewsb5879 1 year later!!! Cc CV charger already built in just solder extended 1.7mOhm (need to avoid error 5 and pull down woltage) resistance to 207 resistor in main bird and it will work well I check it.
nice work, quite professional, whats happened to your videos? no more vids? link to bms board source would have been good
Cool way to set it up. I was thinking something like this as I have a 600mm camera lens, and with a working mount and a OK scope I should be able to work the camera to position. The eclipse is interesting, yet is likely not what was come to understand of it. There have been solar eclipses recorded in history with both sun and moon being present across one another. As for that piece to mount the camera, I would surely use a piece of metal to grind down and fit to adapt, not plastic, specially if you want it to last with confidence. As you already know, but fun to be able to do it on a 3D printer.
Its interesting how you watch says you started at around 3ish O'clock, and then ended SOONER at around 1:53 !!! Amazing speed, you made time go backwards! :-)
Well done! Wish you didnt speed up at11min, but thats oK...I think I got it(even though you changed that setup)! LOL
Wow! this was amazing to watch the design process. I would change the title of the Video to include [BATTERY DESIGN PROCESS]. maybe you'll get more hits? I also really appreciate your talking thru hazards like heating, follow up testing, welding, watching for puffs of smoke :) I would have liked some more talk on how the BMU works as you were building (thinking a head while you build). I've never seen a home spot welder before either... it's going on my Christmas list :)
The proper method of setting focus to infinity on an AF lens on any Micro Four Thirds is to press the lens release button once - don't twist the lens or anything. This is part of the M43 standard. I'm afraid your methods are a waste of time.
Hi, what's your wire size? is it 10AWG? can they do 96A?
Curious how this went long term? From what I have researched the XT connectors are rated at max amps and they should run at 50% constant load.
Ran pretty good long term, cycled 7 or 8 thousand cells. I never had a problem. But I also never had 96 fully depleted cells on the board at a time, since I would charge 96 cells of various soc and as they were fully charged I would pull them and put them on the opus chargers for discharge capacity testing, then once I got the capacity I would throw them back on the board to charge them back up... I could only discharge 28 cells at a time so really I was swapping all the time. So probably never really experienced a peak current draw. Now it just collects dust on my wall as a reminder of the pain and suffering I endured making 2 - 10kwh packs... Tens of thousands of spot welds lol.
Something cool about the large pines covered with snow
Excellent tip on the infinity focus after shutting the camera off. Does this work on the G95 also ?
nice video
how much voltage drop do you realy have at the end charger kabels . i think there would not be 5 volt anymore cause if you charging witch 1 amp your using 96 amp . or are u charging with 500 ma
Hi How can I charge the 7s power wall by a charger, however all chargers in the market are 24v and I dont know if its voltage reach to 29.4v.
You need a charger capable of producing the correct voltage. I use an icharger x8 for my 7s banks, it's best that any charger you get be capable of setting the final voltage, for example 4.1v/cell (28.7v) instead of 4.2 (29.4). I also charge using a solar charger controller when not home, once again capable of adjusting final voltage...
@@havinfun4014 thank you for explaining but how can I get the i charger?
Fernando M. hace 33 minutos (editado) The problem with the old Roombas is that the firmware is not prepared for the lithium charging parameters and they normally end up with Error or some worse: charges but damaging the Lithium batteries. In fact once the charge is completed, a 50 mA stand-by charge (know as 'trickle charge') is applied in a continuos cycle between 40 (start) and 42 ºC (stop) intended for typical Ni-MH self-discharge, wich for Lithium should not be applied cause is hamful. In fact Lithium batteries have not worked for me neither in my Ni-MH old 560, 531 or 650, in some cases due to Error 1 or 5, and in others it apparently worked, but the battery died after only 6 months, which implies an enormous 'mistreatment' in charging (probably after a a lot of hours of damaging tricke charge), because an original iRobot 1800 mAh lithium battery must live at least 4 years (my 671's one only lost 15-20 minutes in this period after 2000 hours of use) ... I confirmed asking about to iRobot about and was confirmed, Ni-MH for Ni-MH Roombas, and Lithium for Lithium Roombas Good luck!
Still running strong, no issues at all.
It run ok with Lithium, but it has problem with charger system. So the importance thing here is how to mod the charging. Ni-MH charging with 14.4V, Lithium have to charge with 16.8V.
Best answer I have found until now. Thanks
@@vuquan3163 This is the Ni-MH battery charge sequence and end conditions for old Roombas 500 & 600 extracted from Roomba 500 Service Manual: 1) Charge circuit (FET) check: if it fails, the charge is interrupted 2) Pre-charge cooling {0mA} Until the battery temperature is below 50°C, or an END OF CHARGE condition is met 3) Charge: runs until an END OF CHARGE condition is met in one of the following modes: - NORMAL {1250mA} if the battery voltage is higher than 10.8V (AMBER LED FLASHING) - RECOVERY {300mA} if the battery voltage is less than 10.8V. (FAST AMBER LED) 4) Post-charge cooling {0mA}: Until the temperature drops below 35°C, or 2 hours pass. (STEADY GREEN LED) 5) STANDBY CHARGE {50mA} - Runs indefinitely, stops if temperature exceeds 42°C, and re-enables when it drops below 40°C (STEADY GREEN LED) END OF CHARGE. Charging ends if one of these conditions is met on the battery: a) If the voltage drops more than 30 mV from the maximum voltage. b) If the temperature increases more than 0.5 ° C per minute. c) If the measured load is more than 2 times the nominal. d) If the time in NORMAL mode exceeds 9 hours e) If the time in RECOVERY mode exceeds 16 hours f) If the battery temperature exceeds 60 ° C for 1 minute. g) If the Battery Voltage exceeds 21.6 V for 1 minute. h) If the battery has been discharged less than 150 mAh since the last full charge. According to g) voltage value is not a limitation for LIthium, a), b) and f) conditions works well for Ni-MH, and do not so much for Lithium , but the main problem for Lithium is 5) due to nomal maximum use of Roomba is 1-2 hours /day, and the rest of the time is overloaded in the dock. By means of my new 671 Roomba connected to my phone with a serial cable (Cable USB UART TTL Serial Port1) and using app ('Serial terminal USB') I saw lithium battery charge is a more simple procces than Ni-MH, and and the fact that new firmware can detect the type of battery and apply a different charge sequence, and tricke charge or not depending of is a Ni-H or Lithium battery. This was tested with the original iRobot X-life and Lithium 1800, I don't know if works with third parties batteries. Obviously use a Ni-MH in a Lithium Roomba only has the sense of taking advantage of an old battery But I didn't find any practical solution to charge a Lithium battery in an old Roomba avoiding degradation: Neither extract and charge the battery externally (charger or other Lithium Roomba), nor be aware of removing the roomba from the dock after charging. For all this, and due to in Spain a second hand 671, 675 or 676 (same model, different year with 1800 mAh Lithium) can be easily purchased for 80 euros (this price really means Roomba is one the most failed gift...), and especially considering the great advantage of the lithium battery, does not degrade because a seller had not used it in the last year (in Ni-MH this is total battery destruction), I have prefered use the modules of my old 531/650 for spare parts, and replace by these new 600's. About a Roomba Lithium battery 'well treated', my first 671 bought new in october 2018, after 1804 services and 1162 hours (I can see it in app historial) the authonomy is 65 minutes, versus 100-110 min of my 3 second hand Roombas 671/676 purchased in 2021 (iRobot specification is 90 min.). But the most important of this info is I saw the great part of this 671 capacity loss was when in 2109 -because of my lack of information-, I tested and used some weeks this lithium 671 battery I my old 650. Regards.

Paralel tp4056 w/ balancer just make you big problem, input negatif is not individual, its linked...
hello yes it is not easy to solder on the screen it looks big but in reality it is very small to do and it is better to be good with your fingers some videos in general from asia do this quite easily i wonder how they do it and with very low quality material... i already tried with pcb boards seen on youtube but it's too hard to connect.. .
how mny hour you charge the battery. how about the current
1amp per hour. so a 2500mah cell will take around 2.5 hours

This looks awesome you did a great job
Nastima is actually selling a product like this with bms included.
My Nastima battery DIED after a short run of about ~6months. But I did not remove it off the charger as I was supposed to. So maybe would last longer if I just did the charge and then unplugged as soon as I see it full.
I was going to do the exact same thing for my roomba. Thanks for sharing.
i learn this from uu tq.. bro
Hey can you tell me the name of that device that gave you the amps output?
I replaced the old Ni-HM battery with a Li-Ion battery with BMS, and now the iRobot 780 vacuum cleaner doesn't recognize it when charging. Error 1, what to do with it?
I got same issue. Is there any solution?
Bad contact between Roomba and battery
@@fatihsaygin2355 it's somehow reconciled, and now it's charging
