Make high current Li-ion battery charger from IP5306 and TP4056 boards

Make an adjustable current output charging board for Li-ion batteries that can charge 2A, 6A, or 8A all in one unit.

I learn a lot from your videos. Still learning the basics of electronics and batteries. Thanks!!

[@evanbisson159]

Vuaeco : * builds a phone that lasts a month* Also vuaeco : i have this portable charger, its very light. In all honesty thank you for your videos i watch them everytime you release a new one. It even inspired me to repair one of my sons toys that the battery pack was broken. It used to take 2 AAs but i replaced that with a 18650. It last forever now. Even after 3 months we only used 25 percent of the battery. Thank you again for all of this!

[@vuaeco]

LOL! I'm kind of backwards a bit. My phone charger weighs only a few grams whereas my actual phone weighs half a kilogram! Way to go Evan, eventually everything you own that runs on AA will be powered by 18650s. :D

yes you can connect them to increase the amp limit, just a parallel connection of 6 of them, but you have to have a 12 Amp supply

[@batterynerd8779]

Hey Vuaeco, i like your idea but in my case, i used a step down converter, which has an output of 20 amps max. (10$). I use a usb c pd trigger board (10$) to get 20 volts from a powerbank and then step the voltage down to 4.2 and in my case CC 10 amps, so 42 watts. Works flawlessly.

[@vuaeco]

You are stepping the voltage up from a power bank to 20V and then step down to 4.2V? That's a lot of wasted power though.

[@batterynerd8779]

@@vuaeco yes, you are right. But the PD protocol supports 20, 15, 12, 9 and 5 Volts. So i have a lot to pick from.

[@fun_ghoul]

@@batterynerd8779 Just so I'm clear, the battery pack is 20v? I've defo contemplated stepping down instead of stepping up, but I envisioned a 2S pack stepped down from 8.*v to 5v. Even so, 20v would make using power tool packs (e.g. DeWalt) simple... 🤔

i made the same thing, i use a powerbank module (ip5328p) to charge mine. It charges at 18w. It can also be used as a power bank. I'm using molicel p42a 4200mah 21700, my iPhone 6s has a total capacity of 21ah. It takes about 1hr30 minutes to charge the battery.

[@algivarirramadhan9939]

I want to ask about the ip5306 module, by combining it with a parallel circuit, how much current will come out through the output to the load?

[@fun_ghoul]

That glowing wire was fun, but for sheer exhilaration, it's hard to beat -dropping- making accidental contact while using a folding Allen key set on your Headway pack. It shorted 7 cells, and glowed like a stove on high in about 3 seconds. I used a sharpening steel to smack it off, but not before the end went molten, leaving the screw head completely smooth. Oh, did I mention that this was in the kitchen? 🤤 #DIYWelding

[@milvolts1]

Did you fully charge your pack and how was the heat during the charge at 7+ amps?

[@vuaeco]

Not this particular pack because I need to run it down to empty to see how long it lasts on a single charge. But I did try this IP5306 board on other Tesla cells and they stay cool at full load. This is much better than the TP4056. The only problem is, you have to run it at 2 Amps each and not lower.

Could possibly your controller can only support that much output. Or your battery might have a problem. If you have a new set of better battery and controller, swap it out one by one and you can possibly figure out the problem.

It is balanced because you only charge a 1S battery this way.

What does it look like when it gets to the end of the charging cycle does the current fall down and then switch off at the correct battery voltage?

Yes, it will reduce the current and cut off at the end. It'll work just like one single unit, just faster.
