@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.
So happy to see you back! It's really great to see you building cool stuff again. The number of supportive comments on this page is just amazing, it's so heartwarming to see this many people caring and sending well-wishes.

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I can say that many of us are the same way, which is exactly the skillset you need when what you learned in school is out of date within months or you need to learn to do something new that doesn't have documentation for your use case.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!
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.
@@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 😉
Since he mentions the chargers are 1A, maybe they're just really old school 5V 1A chargers (would explain how he would've gotten loads of chargers for a reasonable price) And in that case I assume the old school chargers would top out at 0,5A if the data lines aren't hooked up, would explain how the charge time pretty much doubled
Scotty, your channel is amazing and I’m so glad you’re doing well. My friends and I sat and watched a bunch of your videos, leaving us entertained for hours. You are incredibly entertaining and great at what you do! Never give up!
ngl I was expecting the multi-battery approach, since two half-size batteries cuts the time down by half, five fifth size batteries to a fifth of the time, and so on without sacrificing capacity. This works better tho because more batteries means more heat and more heat means more chance of going explode-y
I actually got very disappointed from this video, after seeing him build Iphone with USB C - I thought it going to be a true and functional build, not an clickbait for battery + iphone.
@@kaukon not really it's about the voltage if you keep voltage high then your current to get same output power at low voltage will be much smaller And also it's 150W at 230V and it's using 2 bats in parallel can't find much info but it's probably 20V 7.5A charging
Scotty! I lost track of you on youtube a few months back. Great to see you again! Love your style! I plan to catch up on your brain health progress videos! Hope all is well!
back with a vengeance damn, good subject good editing and looks like you've built an awesome setup there. Hope you're feeling yourself again now, great to see you smashing them out
Super cool video! So glad to have you back to digging up these Strange Parts! I've been paying attention to battery and supercap tech for years, and I've never seen titanate batteries nor seen flat supercaps like you have here.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
No man it's showing 100% because you are using DC to DC 5 V even if the cells are at 1% it will still show 100% in that case with the step up DC to DC 7:43
Scotty, you are the segway MASTER! That sponsor segway was as natural as it gets. 👍 Great video (as always). Great concept too. Always fun on your channel my friend. Thanks again.
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 RUclips 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.
@@MichaelFri Agreed. I've missed many of that stuff because I don't know and wished he went a bit more deep into the topic, nonetheless a very interesting video.
I didn't realize that battery capacitors could be so size efficient. I thought the disparity was much worse. Would totally take a phone that was twice as thick if it meant a few minutes of time to charge to full.
Oh how I've missed these meticulously and perfectly planned, filmed and edited videos. Stopped 1/3 through to write a comment, which I never find myself doing. But, I really see the love for what you do. Welcome back.
for fast charging it needs data wire too by increasing amperes you can't fast charge a phone as fast charging is software based not hardware based so not connection the data wires the green and white wire don't trigger the fast charging software on your phone instead it will charge your phone by a normal charger phone
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.
Well, I mean... you didn't really build an iphone that charges fast, you temporarily hooked one up to a battery that charges fast. I was kinda expecting it to be a self-contained thing that outwardly appears normal, ie a useable thing
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.
Great video! I really like your experimental trial and error process of modifying smartphones. They seem like a ‘black box,’ but are really just made up of smaller, simpler parts that can be swapped out, bypassed, etc. It’s very encouraging!
Atleast this video there's no triál an error he know what he's doing he was acting outside his garage bsing us "aww I was expecting a battery fire(he gives his act away) idk what I'm gana do continues knowing what hes doing he's just acting now
Interesting but a bit disapointed I expected you to address how good smartphones can succesfully charge very fast now like we have 150W charge and some manufacturers are even pushing that number higher, you could have talked and showed us about how their batteries are made.... and actually I was also thinking you would integrate one of those multicell batteries and chargeboard into the iPhone.....

Hey Scotty! I havent seen one of your vids since the OG Iphone videos in china. So its been a while to say the least. I can say your production / videography has increased drastically. I wish you all the best luck man. keep up the grind!

@@STANI420 hooked to an iphone is not the same as i built an iphone as he claims
@@michellefernandez3155 i think you just find out about Clickbait, everyone does it and has done it since the past 8+ years, get over it
@@hizutoff127 he never did it before, kid. look for his mainland China iphone build series
The advantage of the supercapacitor is that they can be cycled millions of times as apposed to lithium cells that loose their capacity quickly
