[@Twisted_Biscuit]

You went from a fast charge power brick to a bunch of tiny bricks that can only slow charge. The USB fast charging protocol negotiates power delivery to accept higher voltages when attempting to fast charge. The slow charge bricks have no negotiation and only charge at 5V, thus no matter how many slow charge bricks you used the time was always going to be slower than a single fast charge brick. The phone itself determines how much current it will/can accept, the brick can only say yes or no to its request.

[@StrangeParts]

Yes, agreed. I think I probably should have tried to explain that better. Your explanation is great though.

[@oraszuletik]

Apple has his own limits at max 2.4A, below the USB BC1.2 standard max of 3A.

[@Twisted_Biscuit]

@@oraszuletik yes but 2.4A at 5V is much slower than 2.4A at 9V or even 12V. I’d assume it’s 9V

[@oraszuletik]

@@Twisted_Biscuit you charge a LiPo with CC-CV method, never goes over a given battery voltage, so your limit is the maximum charging current in the CC state, which is already limited by the negotiation. Unfortunately, the rest of your power possibilities are not used here. But with USB pd standard you can go up to 5Amps. Scotty was right trying an extremely high Amp charging current, but delivered energy at 4.2V was 🔥 Edit: I'm just explaining the battery charging part. Of course, higher power delivered between the brick and the phone is used "elsewhere", like operating the phone 😉

THE RETURN

[@iicei2]

@Strange Parts i have a better solution so we have seen red magic 7 phone's and how they can charge with 165w and its possible becouse there using two batteries some other brands use even 4 batteries at a time so lets say each battery can charge at 61w maximum if we have 4 of those thats around 244w and it can still fit in a smart phone and charge in 6 minutes oppo have done it so why didn't you do it lol i gues thats a part 2.

Very informative rechargeable battery science. I enjoyed this episode a ton. Keep learning Scotty. We enjoy coming along for the ride.👍🏼👍🏼

[@MichaelFri]

It's great to have you back, Scotty. While it's a nice video to watch, it feels to me somewhat incomplete. Things that are important in my opinion that were left out: What is the normal voltage of a Lithium cell and how it changes with respect to the amount of change. How can the phone tell the battery percentage (it's not linear) What a battery protection circuit protects against (overheating, under voltage, over voltage, over current, short circuit...) Why you don't want to run a high current with low voltage through a wire, and that you would rather increasing the voltage to get more power using the same current, which is the base for many quick charging technologies. How you can connect batteries in series to charge to a higher voltage using a special IC that monitors the voltage of each cell in the series and balances the charge rate. Why you may not want to charge your phone as fast as possible (causes damage to the battery in the long term. I know you can't fit all of these ideas in one video, but without touching on some of the topics I've briefly mentioned, at least in a follow-up video, or mentioning that it's only a part of the picture, recommending other videos on KZbin for further watching, so people wouldn't get the feeling that what you've mentioned is VERY complicated or that that's all there's to it.

[@adamrichardson2227]

You hit the nail on the head when you said that you learn best when you are solving a problem, not reading a text book. As a self taught software engineer, I can say that many of us are the same way, which is exactly the skillset you need when what you learned in school is out of date within months or you need to learn to do something new that doesn't have documentation for your use case. You get bonus points for going through and soldering all those wires in the beginning knowing that it wouldn't work. A+ for effort!

[@TechnIx12]

Such a high quality video ! Well done :)

[@alejandrocertuche]

The BMS uses the cell voltage to estimate the battery percentage. 4.2v would be 100% and ~3.5v would be 0% so since you’re putting a constant 5v it’ll stay there. Would be cool to try those cells in series and remove the step up just to see the bms report an accurate percentage

[@MrJoegotbored]

I'm staggered at how small that supercar is. I remember seeing early caps that were positively massive compared to their counterpart chemical batteries. The one you have in this video is only slightly larger than the lipo from the iphone. Amazing progress in that field. I'll have to do some reading about the materials.

[@paulhan9843]

Yeah I remember the blue soda can like ones from Maxwell, remember those? That was about 2013. Really amazing progress.

[@drkastenbrot]

The energy density does not and will never get close to chemical batteries. Still neat to have that new form factor.

[@MasterThief117]

@@drkastenbrot Even if it was half the capacity like stated in the video, that's still phenomenal. Aside from significantly faster charging times, capacitors have significantly longer lifespans measured in the hundred-thousands and some in the millions of charge/discharge cycles.

[@SaNjA2659]

This one is a LIC (Lithium ion capacitor), which is more like a hybrid between lithium battery and a supercap. They are much more energy-dense than regular supercaps in exchange for shorter life cycle and lower maximum currents.

Yay another strange parts video! 😃 Are there smaller super capacitors available, that you could fit inside the phone?

[@neoqueto]

Amazing to see how much supercapacitors have progressed over the last 10 years. And I'm glad Scotty is doing well

[@fishstickrepairs1834]

I strongly believe that this isn't a supercapacitor but a boosted up Lithium battery. Capacitors and/or supercapacitors have to stand incredible pressures inside, and that's why they are usually cylindrical. That's also why capacitors explode from the top. If this was a supercapacitor the cell would have bulged in an instant because of the pressure inside. It is layered like a battery, and it probably is. But according to this testing, it's a pretty juiced-up battery, designed to charge and discharge more quickly than other regular batteries. still impressive, tho.

This was really cool! If I understand it correctly, you need to split up the LiPo battery into multiple cells so it won't overheat, then you can set the BMS to charge 0-100% in around 15 minutes without compromising the capacity.
