  • Hi Everyone, I am back again with this new video tutorial.
    In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to charge a Lithium 18650 Cell using TP4056 chip utilizing the solar energy or simply the SUN.
    Wouldn’t it be really cool if you can charge your mobile phone's battery using the sun instead of a USB charger? You can also use this project as a DIY portable power bank.
    The total cost of this project excluding the battery is just under $5. The battery will add up another $4 to $5 bucks. So the total cost of the project is somewhat around $10.

    You can reliably use a 7 ~ 8 volt solar panel which will allow enough amperage to start the charge cycle and still output 4.2v so this will work, but you'll have to use the stated solar panel mentioned above, not 5 volt. Here is the minimal and maximum voltages for the TP4056 from spec · Input Supply Voltage(VCC):-0.3V~8V

    Thanks for your video. If I use 18650 battery with built-in overcharge and undercharging protection and I connect to TP4056 with protection (DW01) will there be a power drop or other problem?
    Finally, do I need this diode 1N4007 if I have a typical TP4056 without protection (DW01)? Someone wrote that it probably is not needed but I want to have reverse voltage protection.

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  5 років тому +6

      HI There
      According to the datasheet: No blocking diode is required due to the internal PMOSFET architecture and have prevent to negative Charge Current Circuit.
      You dont need a DW01 coupled up with TP4056 boards. There are two variants of TP4056 boards. One of then already have a n inbuilt protection IC on it. However in general any component you add to a circuit will cause a bit of drop.

    Hi bro! Thanks for your great work! Could you answer my questions? I will be very grateful!
    1. If i connect 3 solar panels in parallel (3x 5,5 V 0,4W) will I burn the TP4056?
    2. Will 2 solar panels (2x 5,5 V 0.4W) be able to recharge 2x 18650 or do I need 3 this solar panels?
    3. Can I recharge this system from a laptop to TP4056? There is mini USB port.

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY

      First of all thanks for watching my video. Now the answers are as follows:
      1. TP4056 can have an input Supply Voltage(VCC):-0.3V~8V and Input Supply Current in Charge Mode is between 150 ~ 500μA. A long as u stay under the max limits you will not fry anything.

      I'm sorry to bother you. I have one more question. The TP4056 specification states that Input Supply Current must be 150 - 500 μA. I have only connected one solar cell (5,5V 0,6W) with wires and the meter shows 83 mA. When I connect 3 in parallel, I'll be 240 mA Why is that? And how do I know that I have not exceeded the required 500 μA?

    Could you use all the battery WHILE charging in parallel? i would need to power a small GPU that require 5V and about 2.6Amp so im thinking of using 6 TP4056 (in parallel), 6 batteries and 1 DC converter to 5V (up to 3 amp). Does it sound stupid? I would have to find a solar panel for that but that is not my problem at the moment.

  • @Tore_Lund
    @Tore_Lund 5 років тому +1

    Why a diode on the solar panel??? In the data sheet for the TP4056 on line 5 it specifically says that no blocking diode is necessary as the internal mosfet does not allow reverse current from the battery. That way you can avoid the 0.7v loss a diode costs, making your solar panel more efficient.

Another improvement would be to desolder the red led to save a few more mA when charging. I'm using a 5W thin film panel with indirect light, for charging a 300mAh li-ion battery in my small world band radio (normally run on two AA cells), I use it as a clock radio to wake me up each morning, and it works perfectly playing news for one hour each day on the sparse sunlight it gets a few meters from the bedroom window. I'm in the process of eliminating parasitic power use in my home, and my previous LED clock radio with and old style transformer used 6W according to my new digital meter. This one runs for free.

      Just pinched the red led off with pliers. Now the solar panel is at 3.76V while the battery is at 3.52V, that is only 23mV drop, quite good, so the TP4056 is very suited for solar applications.

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  2 роки тому

      Hi There
      If you have a fully charged battery you can definitely connect it to a circuit while charging.
      The Input Supply Voltage(VCC) is:-0.3V~8V
      Output voltage: DC 4.2V. 4 chips, with a reasonable turn-off voltage, the charging circuit for each chip set 750mA, total 3A. Input connected two 5A Schottky diodes, 5V standard voltage input chip heat ideal (3.8V battery test). Comes with over-temperature protection, short circuit protection.
      You can connect two lithium battery cells in parallel to form an equivalent single cell battery with a total capacity of twice that of the individual single cells, but I do not recommend connecting more than two cells at a time to this module.
      When connecting your lithium batteries in parallel, it is best to charge each battery individually before making the parallel connection(s). With a voltmeter, check the voltage a couple hours after the charge is complete and make sure they are within 50mV (0.05V) of each other before paralleling them.

    Hello, great video. Is it important to keep constant current for 18650cells? cause it's written that they should be charged cc/cv, but as I understand it depends from everything when you charge them with the sun panel. So does the current fluctuation damage them in any way or not?

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  5 років тому +1

      TP4056 has:
      Input Supply Voltage(VCC):-0.3V~8V
      The charge voltage is
      fixed at 4.2V
      So to charge a "single 12 V battery" you will need more power.
      In general terms, you just need to add the chips in series to sum up the output voltage to the threshold and then use some voltage regulators to have it fixed @ 12V
      But to charge a 12 v battery you will have to use solar panels with more wattage
      I hope this helps

    if i use a 2x18650 3.7V do i still need the switch and voltage booster?

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  5 років тому +2

      The switch is to break the battery utilization circuit (the load) from using the battery when its getting charged.
      You can either use a mosfet/transistor in place of the switch or you can remove it all together.
      if you add 2 x 1865 in series you will get more voltage output so you may not need a booster, but in that case you will need a powerful solar panel
      If you add the 2 x 1865 in parallel then you will only increase the current and not the voltage output. In this case again you will need a panel with higher wattage output

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  6 років тому +2

      Hi there
      Yes you can definitely bypass the TP4056 board
      The reason I have added it to the circuit is to protect the battery from over or under charging.
      These batteries can catch fire if they become too hot or will completely die if they loose all their charge.

    • @CrazyCoupleDIY
      @CrazyCoupleDIY  6 років тому

      Yes, please have a look at the video. I have explained it in there.

      The circuit would be the same but it will take longer to charge the batteries.

      BT modules consume lot of power. In general any wifi module drains out battery pretty quickly unless you put it on sleep or use interrupts.
      LEDs are also massive power drainers.
      The best way would be to connect a multimeter in series and calculate the power consumption and then do your math and see how long the device will last on a fully charged battery and based on your math you can find out how much power you need to charge them back up.

      The input terminals of the module is recommended to use with clean DC voltages of -0.3V ~ 8V. Generators which are turned by a turbines outputs AC voltages, so you can't connect it directly, without a rectifier and a voltage stabilizer. (I'm no expert here but hope this helps)

      This setup is to charge a 18650 battery which has the following specs
      Nominal Voltage: 3.6V.
      Nominal Capacity: 2,850 mAh.
      Minimum Discharge Voltage: 3V.
      Maximum Discharge current: 1C.
      Charging Voltage: 4.2V (maximum)
      Charging current: 0.5C.
      Charging Time: 3 hours (approx)
      Charging Method: CC and CV.
      If the Li-ios you are charging falls between these specs then you should be able to, otherwise you may need more panels and few more of the protection circuits.
      In reality one protection circuit should be used for 1 cell (they are dead cheap anyways)
