Is it worth it to put a regulator on panels made to charge a cellphone with only 9 cells? I'm assuming the peak voltage couldn't be more than 4.95 volts. Seems like I wouldn't need a regulator on these unless it was because a device was just picky about rock solid voltage.
Upon further research it looks as though I couldn't use one of these regulators even if i wanted to. My open voltage was somewhat above 5 volts after all, but would be pulled down under load. It doesn't look to me like this is a Buck/Boost Regulator (The description of it's function in the video seems to be wrong). It only seems to be a Buck which means it can not raise the voltage only lower it. The rated voltage this board can take is 5 volts OR ABOVE so it doesn't boost anything. That explains why so many of these cell phone chargers you see for sale like the Renogy are 6 volts with a regulator. I'll just have to see how this does without the regulator. Each panel in this charger was sold to operate without one by only using 9 cells and not 11.
The charge controller converts higher voltage into 5 volts. If your panel is already 5V then the charge controller will give you a little less voltage. Since your panel is 5v, you can directly use it without a charge controller. Ps- i was looking at your channel and found that you are into drums, just wanted to say that i use to play drums few years ago.
ah. the drumming. that was one of my frustrations, i will go back into that when i retire. so about my question, you answered i dont need a controller. but we know that the sunshine is not constant so there will be dangerous fluctuations. if i use one of those, will the voltage and current be stable?
yes, it should work. But make sure it is not over heating if it overheats then i don't recommend using it. Also, for a 100w panel it is best to buy a bigger charge controller so that you can charge a battery and and your phone also.
HI can you please help here , so I have this 5V solar panel and i connected it to a 5V DC-DC voltage regulator... when i connect it to a phone it shows that the phone is charging but the battery percentage decreases instead of increasing. when the phone is off then it does increase but after a long time. is there a way i can use to get the phone charged even when it is not off. Please Help
The current of the solar panel is very less, you will need more panels for it to work and get some significant charging. Is your panel 5V or more than that.?
diode will only help if you are charging a battery directly. In case of a phone the phone charging circuit already prevents reverse current. In this case the phone is getting discharged normally and since the solar panel are not enough the phone is not getting charged,
I have the same module that you tested in the sun, it actually works well. Sadly my solar panels are not really rated at what they advertised it to be. Otherwise it would have given me 1A on a sunny day. Does your panels give out 1A on a sunny day? Note: I got 2 panels rated at 5V 2.5W each but maximum I got out of it was 600mAh, planning to buy more. They were connected in parallel.
This Charge controller takes input from 6 volt to 24 volt and then outputs 5 volt through usb. You can only charge your phone or any usb device with this charge controller.
50W is not worth it. If you want to use a 50W solar panel just go with a normal solar charge controller that comes with usb ports and can also charge a 12V battery. However if you use these small charge controller they may get damaged.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Dude! That was exactly what I wanted. Thanks :-)
do i need to use buck converter with solar charger??
does this prevent discharge or overcharge?
is it different from buck converters? i mean, can i use a buck converter instead of this ?
yes , this is a buck converter that they are using in small chargers with a USB port at the output.
so, yes you can use a buck converter as well.
thank you
Is there an input port?? Or i really need to get the cover to connect it to the solar panel.
Which controller can I buy for a solar panel with 10 watts?

What's the input voltage and current from your adaptor? As you are supplying from adaptor!
Hi sir..which one good quality..tq..
all such modules are similar. I'm not sure which ones are better quality.
Nice finally English language
Thank you.
Cheers!
Thanks bro
don't blow on the weld : it creates oxydation ; nice video
4000 mh battery mobile ka full charge hone me kitna waqt lage ga ? Plz rply
hi, i have a 5v 6w solar panel just laying around, will that charge controller work with that? thank you

@@CATgadgetsandDIY yes the voltage will get stable. and the current will change as per the sunlight, which is normal.
How many volts solar panel are u using ?
have you seen the video or not?
What solar panel spac on video?
Can I connect this type of connectors with a 100watt solar panel? Please advice me.
yes, it should work. But make sure it is not over heating if it overheats then i don't recommend using it. Also, for a 100w panel it is best to buy a bigger charge controller so that you can charge a battery and and your phone also.
Gurribuy plz tell me, upto what watt panel it can be used with safe parameters?
@@tapasnandy4433 10w to 15w should be good enough.
Gurribuy Thanks.
Is the solar panel output voltage between 6 and 20 volts? Yes. The module will use 10 watts max. You can run 10 modules off the panel.
What's your output of the adaptor?
it is rated at 2A max. your output will depend on the solar panel you are connecting. This is an old video but i think i got about 5V and 340mA.

you need to add diode, that block the reversal of current
diode will only help if you are charging a battery directly. In case of a phone the phone charging circuit already prevents reverse current. In this case the phone is getting discharged normally and since the solar panel are not enough the phone is not getting charged,

Same i also got 2 panels 5v 2.5W. i also got 600 ma from both.
Great vedio..
what is the less watt value i can use
Wattage of what solar panel or the charge controller.?
I git 9 volts solar panel.. i try it the output is 5 to or 6 volts.. and it doesn't charge my phone
we need to connect more solar panels to increase the current. With a single solar panel or even two solar panel the charging will be very slow.
how many volt battery charge by it?
This Charge controller takes input from 6 volt to 24 volt and then outputs 5 volt through usb. You can only charge your phone or any usb device with this charge controller.
any one knows inside which device i can find solar regulator
upto how many watts panel u can attach to it?
The single port ones can take upto 15watts and the dual port controller can take upto 25 to 30 watts.
+Gurribuy 50 watts will it get heated up?
50W is not worth it. If you want to use a 50W solar panel just go with a normal solar charge controller that comes with usb ports and can also charge a 12V battery. However if you use these small charge controller they may get damaged.
+Gurribuy that controller requires a compulsory battery to draw power from solar panel to usb or it doesnt work..isnt it?
Yes, for conventional charge controllers you will need a battery for it to work.
I need this controller ... Where can I get it
same is not available but other options you can check amzn.to/3dZB6uj
Mine has power.. but doesn't charge my phone
Brother are you an Indian.?.. Or not..
yes.
