    Good video, but although old it has an error that should be pointed out and I think you realized that as the final of the video you did one cell at a time. YOu can only do one battery with that device at a time. While you "could" do multiple batteries, they have to be the exact or close to the same mAh if not the lowest battery will charge first, then heat up as more power is added till the next battery is charged. That is evident in the video when you checked the voltage of the top batteries, one was 4.21V and I believe the other was closer to 4.25V, which is higher than the safe charging cutoff.

    Ciao Lahis Tech. Davvero complimenti. Iscrizione e Like fatti. Come fai a saldare così brillantemente? Tocchi appena e subito la saldatura è fatta ! Io faccio una fatica... :-( e non sempre ci riesco a fare la saldatura. Compro le punte nuove e dopo pochissimo si 'anneriscono', al punto di non saldare nemmeno quel poco che riuscivo a fare. Posso, per favore, porti 4 domande?
    1) Che punte usi e 2) come le pulisci?
    3) Che filo di stagno usi?
    4) Che temperatura tieni il saldatore?
    Spero davvero in una tua cortese e competente risposta. Buone cose... Antony

    • @incognito827
      @incognito827 4 роки тому +1

      That means the USB charger has to spec minimum 1A (1000 mA). ELI5 solution: Think wall charger as bridge, and the device you are loading as truck. Bridge can be rated for higher loads, but if truck exceeds the bridge load limit, it's a no no.
      Charger has usually fixed voltage and is able to GIVE anywhere from 0 to rated current.
      Device TAKES x amount of current it uses at the voltage it runs, and charger has to be able to provide the devices max current consumption at highest load.

    • @marcteigh8633
      @marcteigh8633 3 роки тому +3

      Depends - some of these boards will automatically select a sensbile value, based on the initial cell voltage - another "clone brand" which looks almost identical has a less ideal automatic setting. In both cases though, for the most part you can just insert the cell and press the left hand most button and it will do the job ok.
      On a typical lithium cell, one model wants to typically discharge to 2.5v on its default setting, another only to 3.0v. In both cases it works ok, BUT depending on the cell chemistry (phophate, ion, graphene) 2.5v may be a better "true zero" than 3v. You can manually adjust but these device will still reset automatically when you stick in a new cell. It's actually a little annoying when you want to process a batch of them.
      If you are a little bit technically minded and have a basic understanding of electronics, there is a little "cheat" system you can use:-
      You can fit a changeover switch to the battery holder which connects the positive of the board to the CELL or to a REFERENCE VOLTAGE which you can set with something as simple as a 3A DC>DC buck converter running from the 5v - Mine is usually set to 3.5V (newly charged and slightly rested lithium phosphate)
      Set it to whatever voltage you want - in my case 3.5v (I am discharging Lithium Phosphate Cells) - it will then discharge them to 2.5V. If I let the unit select its own voltage, it can be as little as 1.5v if the cell is around 3.3v (rested overnight) (too low) and if they have just come of the charger, it can set them to 3v (a little high).
      So, I use a toggle switch to flip to "reference voltage" press left most button to start it off - and then move toggle to connect discharger to cell.
      To stop the unit getting confused as you flip the toggle switch (brief loss of power), connect a 10v (or higher) 1000uF (or bigger) capacitor to the common of the switch and ground. This allows for a seemless switchover.
      Set off each module and close the switch one at a time - do not have multiple units ALL trying to discharge the reference power supply!
      Sorry for a long winded answer BUT it depends on the model you get AND there is a solution anyway! :)

    I have a question/need advice for a lil project ive been doing..
    So i'm really into solar lights for some reason so I tend to have a decent amount of them, not crappy ones but actual decent/bright ones for yard illumination. Well I recently got into modifying them with TP4056 boards (They use 18650s or 14500s) so I can manually charge them during the winter as they wont do so well on their own with the cold and lack of sun etc. The first one I did was a big 1000 Lumen light that I have at the front door with a 22 Gauge wire and a USB cable connected to it so I can charge/power the light from inside instead of outside like I was doing until recently (Light was on the side of the house till I moved it for easier access and better use). That's the only one ive modified so far as its the largest, the others are mere 5 Lumens idle 100 Lumens active (All lights are motion activated). Anyway back on track, so as I previously stated i'm currently using 22 Gauge wire to do all the modifications but I was wondering if 20 Gauge would be more appropriate.
    Another question I have is, since the TP4056 boards are for single Cell use does this mean I cant use a single board with say 2-4 Cells? and if that's the case what board could I use for such situations? All lights use a single 18650 (The big light) or a single 14500 but I would like to be able to use 2 batteries to further lengthen their run times during the winter.
    Help with this would be appreciated

      @isaacmyers1676 2 роки тому +1

      For your second question while you can technically use the TP4056 for multiple cells provided they’re wired in parallel you probably don’t won’t to do that because it will charge it very slowly. A better solution would be the use a 3amp 1S BMS, this will act very similar to the TP4056 except your going to need either a 4.2v power supply or use a buck boost converter to charge to the correct voltage.

      On the back of the board it shows you the connections to make for the discharger. you have the two OUTER connection on the blue block to wire to the resistors and the inner two connect to the cell holder to be discharged.
      You can power the unit from either 5v connected under the board (two solder pads fairly near the board) OR you can plug in a micro USB lead.

      It would help if you said what you DID get (if anything) or have also got kicking around.
      If you are discharging a single lithium cell that could be as high as 4.4v (the 3.85 cells fully charged), and noting the 3A maximum limit of the module, then your LOWEST resistor value would be approx 1.5 Ohms (or two 3.3 Ohm resistors in parallel OR two 0.82 Ohms in series). The odd values given are because these are the "standard or preferred" values which are easier to get than 3 Ohm and 0.75 Ohm.
      Any values HIGHER than the above would also be fine too.
      To work values out for yourself, divide 4.4v (if using the 3.85v cells), or 4.2 (normal Li-ion) or 3.7v (Lithium phosphate) by the current you want to draw in amps (maximum 3A on this board). This will give you the LOWEST resistor value you can use.
      eg: You want to discharge at about 1.5A with a 4.2v cells. So Resistance = Voltage divided by Current. R = 4.2 / 1.5 = 2.8 Ohms. A very close "preferred value" is 2.7 Ohms which would work well.
      You need to be aware though that the resistors are burning off the power as HEAT and so you need to make sure the resistor is cable of handling the power. You can work out the wattage by multiplying the AMPS by the VOLTS - so 1.5A multiplied by 4.2V = 6.3 Watts - so ideally get a 10 Watt rated resistor - or even a 25W rated one. A single 5W resistor will get VERY hot if overdriven to 6.3 Watts.
      I realise this is an old post - but it might be a useful reference for other too.

      2 x 5W give more options than a single one.
      If discharging a single cell, you can have them both in series and discharge at around 1A, if you want a slower discharge, you can use ONE resistor to give you a discharge current of 500mA (better for smaller cells), if wanting a VERY low discharge, you can place them both in series.
      You can also use both in series to allow a discharge of 3 cells in series (4 if lithium phosphate) (which will burn off around 10 watts.
      In short, it gives you some flexibility :)

    This will never work correctly with this wiring setup! This wiring configuration is trying to charge the batteries at the same time it's trying to discharge the batteries for checking the capacity, so you'll never get an accurate reading.
    With those charging modules, you can charge all the multiple batteries at the same time, but like one person already mentioned, all the batteries have to be able to take the exact same amount of charge, otherwise you risk overcharging and heating up the lower batteries. Those charging modules are designed to charge only one battery at a time, and it will stop charging once that one battery is fully charged.
    The discharge/capacity check modules are designed to only discharge/capacity check only one battery at a time. Testing more than one battery at the same time will give incorrect results.
    The only way this idea can work is if you have 4 charging modules (one for each battery) and 4 discharging/capacity checking modules (one for each battery).
    To prevent the charging and discharging modules from fighting each other there should be 4 on/off toggle switches between the charging modules and the battery connections, so as to be able to stop charging the batteries while doing the discharge/capacity check.
