18650 Battery Charger - TP4056

This time I am making a charger for my 18650 Batteries. It is a simple design that you can easily prepare at your home. For this project I have used a 5V 2.4A charger (iPad charger), if you are not considering about the time to charge your batteries you can also go with lower current charger with minimum 1A of current. Increasing the current will decrease the time for charging the 18650 Batteries.
Materials:
1) 18650 Battery Case/Holder x1
2) TP4056 Charger Module x4 - ebay.to/2JzABd8
3) Copper wires
4) Acrylic Sheet
5) PCB holder/Spacers x4
6) Screw nut x4
7) 5V Charger 1A or above
Thank you.

Excellent video of a fun and useful project. I love that your demonstration is so well done that no verbal instructions are needed.

[@GabrielKozsar]

I did it differently a little bit. I drilled 2mm holes on each side in the battery holder to run the + wire through the corner of each cell. Then soldered the wire directly onto the pcb. Drop of cyanoakrylate glue to hold the wire in place , or hotglue, inside the holder. This way the back of the acrylic is flat , i.e. no wires. Alternatively a copper tape/strip on the back side for bus bars and solder a small wire to it.

I've had one of these built for years, with about 8 lithiums in series. Was thinking , a balancer would be cool on the same board. But, not necessary because the charger brings up to a specific voltage ?

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

No need for balancing because each cell is charged independently by its own charging circuit.

[@jyotirani8232]

Nice

[@user-hy2ys9yc7s]

Congratulations. Cheap and good solution for any number of modules you need in. Clearly visible charging of each battery. If one of the modules fails, it will be immediately visible. For quick charging 4x18650 is better to use 4x5Vx2A=40W power supply unit. Goog luck!

[@LahisTechLT]

Thank you. Appreciate your support.

[@technicalcentury]

@@LahisTechLT hello bro Which thing drops in Ampere or voltage ?

[@juliosaavedra1969]

The module does not allow fast charging...it only supports 1 amp. For fast charging it would have to be 3 modules in parallel for a single battery... if the charger is 5v. 2 amp. and the 3000 milliamp battery... it took 6 hours to charge all the batteries.

A question though....you used a 2.4A charger and wrote in the description that you can go for a lower current charger if time isnt an issue...but isnt 2.4A for 4 batteries( 0 .6A per battery) already quite low for a 3000mah battery? I'm new to how chargers and batteries work...so am I missing something here?

[@efdawahfan]

it wont charge full 1 amp each battery some batteries ...when they are above 4 volt say 1 battery...it charges with very low current so the other 3 get more current drawn until 4 volts..also i have couple of usb with 2a and 2.4 and most of them i get higher currents almost as high as 3 amp still 4.9 volts on it.

Since you're connecting the batteries in parallel, that should not be a problem (given the batteries are of the same starting voltage before connecting). But by doing that, you'll have to wait ~2x longer than just charging 1 battery.

[@elektron2kim666]

Be careful with making holes like that (breaking a part or not). Use old containers you have around for low cost reasons, maybe some on sale. Poke small holes at first and increase the drill bits for ease as a drill can slip and make scratches otherwise. For wires, buy lamp wire; you don't want too much electrical wire exposed. Use a glue gun for aesthetics or covering things and for firm constructs. Solder 3 times extra than you believe with power delivery otherwise you get disconnects all over. Just advices I try to follow myself. My best power banks are home made. There are many forms of charger circuits for little money. I also find good 18650 batteries as I have a pile of old laptops and I buy a new battery pack instead which releases a few "good enough batteries" and they are fine for a long time. Just forget the bad ones. Those that can't charge any more and they killed a battery pack.

Why not to insert diodes to prevent burning the tp4056 from cell inversion?

Not a good idea because the current limit of 1amp will be exceeded while using charging 1 and 2 cell in a 4 cell setup and the chip will smoke. Some kind of current limiting arrangement should be used to limit 1 amp current to each of the 4 modulea in the setup.
