Power Anything with USB-C Instead! (USB PD DIY)

With a USB-C PD Trigger Board you can adapt ANY device to use your USB-C charger or a power bank!! It takes only 2 minutes of simple DIY! If your device needs around 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V - you can adapt it to use a USB-C Power Delivery source and reduce clutter around your house. It's quick, cheap and convenient - so I plan on upgrading most of my non-USB-C electronics this way :D

I learned something today, didn't know USB type C could accept other voltages. This video gets a well deserved Thumbs Up!

[@CMKOGAMING]

that's funny I'm looking for usbc pd to 12v for a vehicle and found those on Amazon. but needed more clarification. thanks, it seems this is exactly what I needed

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

This is by far the most coherent and easy to understand video I've seen on PD. Thanks!

[@arenomusic]

I don't know why there aren't more guides for this technology, this was a great starting point. Trying to figure out a modular way to supply power to 4x Raspberry Pis and 4x portable monitors at work, thank you for sharing this helped a lot!

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Take advantage of the multiple voltages you can get from USB PD. Use the 5V for the RPi's. So a 4-port USB-C Adapter with at least 65W or if not 100W for all for of them. They take 5V/3A each for the RPi4. So 15W's each at 5Volts. Then you could use the 20V of the USB PD to get the full 100W's of power and have enough power for the Monitors. Find the Specs of the Monitors and see what they're input voltage and Amperage are. If you need to lower the voltage for the monitors you can use an adjustable voltage regulator so you get nice stable voltage, unless they run on 12V then you can decide whether to use the 12V PD but with a lower power output or use the 20V and drop the voltage down..

[@crazyperson4949]

Great video! USB Type C is so useful, PPS capable adapters also open up voltage from 3.3v-21v. One note for all USB Type C compliant adapters is they will not supply 5V on VBUS (main power) until proper pull-down resistance or current sink is detected on one of the CC lines from the device trying to be powered (sink). If you probe the power lines of a type-C cable, there should be 0v until negotiated.

[@howevisual7099]

YES! Been trying to convert things for a while to simplify some video gear cable packouts. Reached out to some electrical engineer people a few years ago when PD was still developing and they didnt really have a good answer so I love this being one that I could even do myself!

Great video! I appreciate it being concise, I'm tired of 8 minutes videos of fluff for the algorithm

[@mc.the_machine]

A potentially serious issue to be aware of is that not all USB-C power supplies and power banks can actually produce all voltages. In fact, I would say most can't, except for higher-end ones designed to charge things like laptops and such. I believe that means in some cases that it's possible to plug into a power supply that will output a lower voltage. That might not necessarily harm a device, but, it's always possible that some device will have a problem if you give it too low voltage. Basically, to use these, you have to check both the voltage and amperage that the PD power supply puts out, and, only use the board with a device that is matched to the USB-C power supply. Obviously, if you are making your own device you can deal with those issues, but, if you are converting something else, it's pretty important to know about this issue and deal with it. For example, I put a number of USB-C wall plugs in my house as replacements for regular 120V receptacles. Most of the common brands are 5v only. I got some from Amazon that could also do 9v, but two of them failed within months. I'd love it if someone made one of these PD boards with a voltage governor, that would make sure that it would definitely not output an incorrect level. Then I'd love to use them all the time.

[@OWK000]

I have seen the 12/24 volt usb C outlets that light up and say how much voltage, but there is voltage IN and voltage OUT. For instance, this guy was running his laptop directly from a solar panel through a 12 volt usb c outlet and the usb c outlet port was displaying an amount of voltage. . . in? or out? I've got to watch that video again. That's what I want: to charge one of those battery bank and jump starter things that charge by usb C and bypass battery and charge controller and see how that works. Having the right charge cable is important too, as there are chips in there, too. So there are control chips at every step of the charge. Gotta watch that.

[@lyn1337]

IIRC this is what universal notebook power supplies for cars do now, adjusting voltage depending on which included adapter is used.

[@Cynos_3D]

Oooh those adaptors are brilliant, i have so many devices with clunky or proprietary chargers that would benefit from this. Thanks for sharing.

[@stinkycheese804]

None will benefit at all. There is no such thing as a "clunky" charger, and if it is proprietary then you need to DIY the extra adaptation for zero gain so it makes even less sense to do. Wow, mindless black hole of WTFBBQ.

Wow. I have an electric piano that uses a separate mains-powered 12v plug pack. So it needs mains power to run. Using this USB-C PD idea, I could power it with a battery pack and play it ‘untethered’ anywhere. 😊

[@daveh7720]

I wondered what the PD meant. Thanks for explaining!

[@krisarmstrong-CISSP]

Thank you. This is precisely what I needed, so as long as the PD (Power Device) does not exceed 20v 5a, anything can run on USB-C. This is a very relaxed time to buy adapters and build cables. :-) My soldering skills are lacking, but this will be good practice :-) Thank you again.

[@jeffdege4786]

@@juzzz. From what I've read, USB-PD 3.2 maxes at 5A, and provides increased power by increasing voltage. E.g. achieving 240W by providing 48V at 5A.

[@juzzz.]

@@jeffdege4786 ok got it. i always had this hunch as cable thickness is directly proportional to A. One solution for my use case is - using a discarded PC's SMPS to get 12v 10A output. But if buying new SMPS, building a custom power board looks more economical.

[@bramvanzuilen8960]

I have added usb c to a few 12v devices and i heared/ noticed that 12v is not common for a charger or powerbank (they only use 5v 9v 15v (and 20v) and skip 12v). you need the look at you charger/powerbank to see if it support it. I used a 20v trigger board and a step down buck convertor to go to 12v. If the voltage is not aviable on the charger then the trigger board should go to the voltage below that but i not know if every board will do that

[@tecrack5569]

I just came across your video while searching if I can use a UCB-C to DC converter adapter with my laptop. I didn't find any thing useful but your video actually made me think about that TRIGGER voltage chip. Well, I am not an electric guy and can't figure if understood really well for my problem. So I'll just put my question here in hope you may reply. I have a laptop that comes with a USB-C Power adapter. It's 65W adapter with all those voltage points you mentioned - 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V. A USB-C to USB-C cable comes with it in the box with the laptop. The PD USB-C port in the laptop serves also as a display port. The problem is when I want to use the port for external display, I can't do that unless I put the laptop on battery. The solution is to use another DC-IN port (which I guess is 3.5x1.35 as I read somewhere) but I can't find the full power adapter for it. Though I found some USB-C to DC converter adapters which I wonder if I can use with my original USB-C power adapter by just attaching the convertor adapter onto the end of the USB-C cable and insert its DC pin into the laptop. Now after watching your video, I am now wondering what role the this TRIGGER voltage play in this scenario? Can I even use such a USB-C to DC converter adapter? will there be any downsides? or even if it can harm the laptop circuitry? Hope to have an answer.. thanks in advance for taking time to read it. Edit: another thing with those converter adapters is that they also mention the trigger voltage. most of them are 19 or 19.5v... I didn't find any 20v.. what should do about that? will those 19.5 or 19v converter adapters will work with 20v output from the original power adapter? I am not sure how much power the laptop uses, whether it's fixed or variable voltage through the battery charging levels. However, the original rating on the power adapter is as follows: 5V*3A 15W / 9V*3A 27W / 12V*3A 36W / 15V*3A 45W / 20V*3.25A 65W

[@TheStigma]

Great advice. It makes sense to consolidate many of the old power delivery to USB-C, and with those handy PD boards being easy to exchange you have a lot of flexibility to power most old tech. Not sure why you would consider a USB battery bank more reliable though. They are mostly Li-ion or LiPo based, so it's going to be the same chemistry. You can get LiFePo4 packs that are inherrently way more stable and safe (and last a lot longer in terms of cycles) if you want a better alternative. The only real downside is a little lower energy density. I suppose you do get a capable controller with some safety features built in with a USB power pack, but thats something you could add to any raw pack too. Anything lithium based really isn't a good idea to run completely raw for several reasons. They arent like old lead acids you could abuse all you wanted :P

[@Zibartas]

The "getting a capable controller" part... That's the whole point for me to standardize my projects under USB or whatever else - no need for extra work and in case you run out of power you can borrow/buy one when you're away from home and what not. Yes, there is nothing magical or extra safe about store bought power banks - the biggest benefit is convenience and compliance to same specs across brands and models :)

[@Soupie62]

Thanks for the search term "USB trigger board". I have a ham radio power supply (12V, 25A). Is there an adapter board that can change that to 5V / 9V / 12V ? What is the right search term to use?

The problem is the information was nonsense. Yes you can power a limited number of things with a USB-C PD charger of sufficient quality, but it never makes sense to do it unless you happened to buy more of them than you need and happened to misplace or have the original PSU die, and even then, if you keep losing things, you'll lose USB-C PD chargers, and if things die, just repair them. Like. A. Boss. Usually costs $1 or $2.

[@mcslender2965]

This is so cool! Ive been planning to do a usb c charger adapter for my gaming laptop (no pd charging support sadly).

If say a "legacy device" say a cordless drill wants 20v will a variable V PD send it 20 somehow sensing its demand? WIll it know when fully charged, I'm thinking probably not???

Nice video. Yes, I use a variable USB-C to DC (5521 + other heads) to use power banks for different appliances. The adapter I have has a button to set 5, 9, 12, 15 and 20 volt. Only I have to be careful not to use the wrong setting for each device as it will kill their board.

Alas, it does not work well when trying to power 12VDC LEDs with a very capable PD power adapter. For some reason, if the power adapter is plugged first and the LED second, it works. But if the LEDs are plugged first (as in 99% of devices) then switching the power adapter on makes the LED badly blink in an endless cycle. Perhaps this is due to the inrush current that confuses the PD board or the power adapter (?) Bummer.

You can definitely find 12V version of those strips :) if you MUST use 24V you can try a step-up converter from 20v or find usb-c pd trigger boards for the newer 38v(?) I think, and use a voltage regulator to bring it back down to 24v. But those new higher voltages are rarer as the spec is a bit newer.

[@Zibartas]

The current limiting should be done on the device - the amperage of the power supply denotes the capability of delivering that much current, not affecting what the device consumes :)

Well well well, it seems i have found the thing i need for all my projects now. Do you have any idea in how to make a multi powersupply unit that can deliver power from all the batteries to power hungry things like lighting or just function as one big battery for things you want to charge in remote areas? meaning that it does not communicate just on voltage, but does what the charger does(modulate the voltage). Do i have to jerryrig cables to a board that delivers the max voltage to a board that delivers it onto an inverter of some kind? like 12 volt from all units spearately to a controller based on available draw? and just use an inverter that is like 12V 600W max and then do like a regular outlet to deliver it to whatever i need? A have very specific needs, but i am willing to jank this to make it work. I am trying to use all of my powersupplies without having to buy, as you say, expensive work arounds or batteries that cost... lets be honest much more than they are worth "coughing in Millwaukee". I do a lot of filming and working in a place without lights and i need to keep power to all units. I have issues with keeping lights on and i struggle to find a solution, since i am not a rich man, so i try to find things that work in the way you have. Do you have any advice in how to construct a multi powerbank board into something that can deliver variable voltage you want on the other end. Im trying to see if i can power my survaillance system over longer periods of time with several powerbanks instead of 1 extremely expensive one. thank you for reading my word vomit!

[@Zibartas]

Hmm what about a USB-C 20V 5A trigger board, and then a regular potentiometer (if you need to adjust output on the fly) or different pre-set voltage regulators that could step it down for you to 5 or 12V that you need. That way you'd be within USB-C PD spec and have at least 100W of power available to you. As for connecting many power banks in parallel to improve capacity - I'm not sure if just connecting a couple of such circuits to the same voltage regulators be enough. Maybe, if the power banks would be "smart enough" and not try to charge from one another? In any case it's a bit complicated once you start adding batteries in parallel due to uneven charge, internal resistance and what not.
