Great video!
I modified a TP4056 to charge a LI2032 coin cell with a fixed resistor.
I will have to give this a try as having a variable current seems much more useful.

thanks !

Justo el video que necesitaba. Casi todos los otros videos hablaban sobre como subirle la corriente, pero casi ninguno como regularla. Me sirvió para hacerle un cargador de audífonos para mi padre, ya que el que tenía se le estropeó y por usar otros cargadores se le arruinó la batería interna. Por suerte pude conseguir una de reemplazo, pero esta vez quería cargarla como se debe. En fin, muchísimas gracias! PD: ignora a los haters, se olvidan que ellos no nacieron sabiéndolo todo y probablemente nunca crezcan mas allá si creen saberselas a todas. Saludos desde Argentina ⭐⭐⭐

I tried to measure current with the same setup at 5:51 except that I use Volt/Current Meter Display instead of multi meter.
It shows only voltage which is around 4v with and without turning ON the power. But it shows only 0 amp while charging.
Red and Blue LED light up so the current must able to flow through the display meter and back to the module.

The original R3 programming resistor for 1A output is a 1.2 kΩ resistor. Can you please explain why you chose a 680 Ω resistor?

[@Bocha69]

I think he didn't have a 1.2 kΩ resistor.
We can see that because he stopped turning the potentiometer as soon as the current reached 1A on the multimeter... he could've turned the potentiometer more.

Value resistor 680 OHM ?

[@johncoops6897]

The single resistor should be 1.2k, so that even if potentiometer set to zero, there will be minimum of 1.2k as-per datasheet. This guy is just a hack

I made this circuit 4-years ago, I think you were late

[@standbyme6395]

Guess you forgot to show the world...too busy playing video games I see...

[@Xavier_Everwhere]

@@standbyme6395 @STAND BY ME I played videos games bcoz the circuit is gone too old, that no one need it, there are more than 1000 of videos over UA-cam, but you didn't watched bcoz you where too busy in making your blog videos
