Finally, someone comes around and shows HOW a decent power bank is made DIY. You made a superior product, so in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's just a little bulkier.
There is no way someone can make a better video on how to make a powerbank. I really like that you pointed out the difficulties someone may encounter with such a project. let's all hope that the other channels out there will do the same in the future.
this is the excellent diy powerbank I have ever seen in youtube. This is very eazy to build and your video is perfect to build the powerbank. Hatsoff to your idea and design.
A really well made video. I liked A LOT the fact that you used fuses on each 2 cells group instead of just connecting them straight in parallel. This is the kind of DIY videos I like. Keep up the good work!
Excelent execution on the explaination, I've understood it much better and much deeper, now i can move on to my future power generator projects that is completely pended for a very long time,my big problem is batteries, because they have limitations,excelent job man and thank you
I made this power bank! Confirmed working and a great way to create a DIY USB 2.0 Power bank. I think I need to get a better boost converter but it otherwise charges my phone and works as a powerbank.
Good explanation and easy to understand language at a moderate pace. Very useful video. Thank you Sorin. One of the best video tutorial with near to exact and real values. Best of luck on your journey of spreading knowledge.
i must say brother u r one of the world most organised and standard and clear human..... and for me honestly u r one them from today "MY PERSONAL UNKNOW FAVOURITR's' .........tq
Sir Sorin your videos were very interesting and creative. Thank you for making these videos. I hope you make a video on how to salvage a lcd of a defective laptop. I would like to see your version of it coz the other videos arent that good like yours. Thanks in advance.
Now, this is what i'm talkin about. I'm about want to make by my own using tutorial in YT, but non of them tell if the PowerBank itself have protection....And lastly, i found this, GG
hi. I suggest you use this step up converter: goo.gl/8HEsQ2 it's much stable, when the cells get low on power, than the one I've used in the video. and don't forget the 12 pins switch.
I made one using 3 parallel 4 series 4 cell 18650 battery,. I have a dedicated BMS to balance my battery,. And as an output uses a 5 pcs 6-24v to 5v 3A step down buck converter. I used 16.8v input to charge my battery. Usually it would take 2-3 hrs of charging. And can charge 5 devices simultaneously. And it's bulky, pretty heavy and would last more than 10 charges if I'm the only one using it. Pretty good for camping.
Fain de tot. Mă bucur că am dat peste canalul tău. Chiar acum o jumătate de oră am demontat o baterie veche de laptop și mai am vreo 3-4 prin casă. Am să scot modulele din toate și-am să le verific să văd care mai sunt bune.
In stores most of the power banks use large single cell type LiPo batteries or something similar like a huge phone battery. Basically it's just big and flat. I like the idea of adding in your own cells when the old ones wear out. Which you can do if you have a soldering iron, you need a pretty powerful soldering iron to solder things to the battery terminals though, as they suck the heat away fast into the battery and that heat can easily warp plates and damage the internal battery. So you need a soldiering iron tip that is incredibly hot so you can do the job fast. You probably need a soldering iron tip of like 400 degrees Celsius at least to do this. I wish they just made a cool empty battery bank that you could add say 8-16 cells to. And you don't have to solder them in, instead being held in tightly with high quality springs. And it would have USB output and 12v output, as well as input charge via USB or AC adaptor charging for faster charging. This would be really cool, because people could easily turn a bunch of laptop batteries very easily into a useful battery in their home. I mean just 16 average laptop cells combined will give you at least a 35000 mAh battery. Maybe they make something like this already, I haven't looked. But I would rather something with useful functions and easy to put together and replace batteries, instead of something I have to solder together while worrying about damaging the cells and needing an expensive high temperature soldering iron etc and then having a pain to replace them.
This diy power bank is very good, with some updates can get better, I'll do one, for sure (if I can get money because the situation of Brazil is a bit difficult here).
i mad a powerbank that has 26000mah and if i test it it had 16000mah at 5v 1.5 ah discharge current the onlt negitive it takes 17h to charge i can inprove the charging speed but the batterybank need's to be bigger. nice video and simple step by step instruction
This is a nice build. Thank you for your efforts to share with us. Would there be any problem taking this unit on a plane, because it is DIY? For lowering the profile of a toggle switch, another option is to trim down its lever. If the lever is metal, a hacksaw may be needed for cutting and a file for easing the edges. Remember to seal the entire device with painter's (blue) tape, before starting to cut, to keep the metal shavings out of the switch. I would also like to see a DIY battery bank project that uses a DIY battery management circuit. I just have a problem trusting the cheap Ebay modules. And, learning about the circuit and building it is way more fun, IMO, even if it costs a little more.
hi. I don't think they will let you take it on a plane, because it's DIY, it's pretty big and it has a lot of lithium cells. probably if you build a smaller version it will be ok.
Nyc explaining for battery... Same problem my powers bank increase and decrease power voltage 2days To charging BUT 30 mits working in 1500 mah battery in 12 BATTERY S
Impressive video! I wished if I watched it before making my bulky 6s 18650 pack. I wonder where did you get that soldering gun? I like the fact it can solder directly at a battery in mere seconds.
There are decent diy kits with type-c for about 4$ from aliexpress. Used 4 SAMSUNG cells taken from a business class dell battery with 2300mah left capacity (originally 2600) and bought 2 new ones.
hi. I've used it a few times, it can charge my phone (with a 3000mAh battery) 3 times. it works great. the step up converter gets a bit hot, but there is no problem. that's why I added the heat sink. and it's getting charged up very fast, even with a 2A phone charger, because it's using all available current, not just 0.8A - 1A, like the rest of the powerbanks.
You could have bought a power bank module, they are available online and have all the balance charge, over discharge, overcurrent and boost features, as well as the built in meter.
I thought about this too but I don't see any that can charge the batteries fast enough, most of them maximum charge current is 1A which is okay if you have 1-2 batteries. Unless you have a link to one that can charge up to 2A because I am trying to build one that has 6 18650s in parallel. Been looking but no luck.
Nice project! The most informative and safety that i found. One question though. How did you protect the 18650 from the modules from each other? In case 1 of them over heats
hi. I used sticky foam tape as spacer between the charging modules and the cells. the charging modules should not overheat, only if they are damaged. if there is too much current, the fuses will protect the cells.
UPDATE: Instead of XL6009 I suggest you use the MT3608 boost converter, it's much stable when the cells get low on power.
Xl6009 latest model instead of MT3608 how is possible?
i have a question , how many cells i can solder to one module ? tp4056
@@dellalioussama1124 2 cells max
3 more secure
R value? (link dead)
The project is amazing in general but the wizardry of getting all of that in the enclosure was the real brilliance!
Finally, someone comes around and shows HOW a decent power bank is made DIY.
You made a superior product, so in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's just a little bulkier.
Thank you for not putting crappy background music.
Yes and the narration is outstanding. This is a great video. You got skills mane
Schematic at 5:04 . Thanks Sorin!

I do like the idea of cell balancing in this way. Pretty unique, and honestly, simple. I feel a little stupid for not thinking of it on my own.
Thank you for another real nice video. Also your english is very good and easy to understand.
agreed
i just wanted to say the same.. lol
Lol. Same cmnt i was going to
Get all the parts of power bank
this is the excellent diy powerbank I have ever seen in youtube. This is very eazy to build and your video is perfect to build the powerbank. Hatsoff to your idea and design.
your work is so clean and clear. and you are a genius, really I like your work so much.
Same as you ❤️
felicitari,mai rar oameni care sa fie interesati de asa ceva,mai ales in Romania!
I just love the way you do things! Its not factory looking, but makes it more real for those of us messing in the garage!
this man know what he is doing, keep the work! for me as a newbie, this is explained very clear to me.
Bravo omule greu mai gasesti oamenii pricepuți ca tine mai ales in romania

These are the guys who make stuff we buy from the shops
自己做一個比買一個成品貴。非常感謝你的電池倉DIY視頻。
Remember, safety is number one priority

Best powerbank build i have seen so far way to implement protection to make sure there is no rish of explosion or anything
i must say brother u r one of the world most organised and standard and clear human..... and for me honestly u r one them from today "MY PERSONAL UNKNOW FAVOURITR's' .........tq
This is very good power bank. The power bank have a fuse, when chip have short circuit, blow the fuse not shorted the baterry.

Very good job 👍 I like that you're measuring and comparing overall parameter stability.
New subscriber here, most of your videos are clear and amazingly explained sir. Thanks, I'm learning a lot from you.
More geniuses helping out the minorities 🙏thank you friend I will share at my school my teacher is going to be surprised Monday morning😂😂😂😎✌
... just ordered the parts :) thanks for the shematics, i didnt know i could actualy connect all the negatives together :D

do you use a laptop PSU for the 16.8V or some other kind of charger like a LIPO charger?
Power Bank with full electronics research and precautions, Great 👍
I love the circuit simplicity. Thank you very much 😊
Happy 76k subscriber🥳🎉

Wow, you have made a good power bank
Really cool thanks for sharing, I will try one when I get through a few chapters in my Electronics for dummies book. 😁
My phone stopped overheating after watching this video! Great job, Sorin! Greetings from Poland.
This diy power bank is very good, with some updates can get better, I'll do one, for sure (if I can get money because the situation of Brazil is a bit difficult here).
best diy powerbank yet!
I wish you uploaded more videos
I'm not using NCR18650B cells in this clip, I'm using NCR18650. please watch the video carefully and don't misinform the viewers.
Bravo Sorin!👏
Even if i like diy projects since I'm a tinkerer myself I'd stay with my anker powerbank which supports quick charge and also up to 3A per port.
There isn't anything wrong with that. Sometimes you're better off buying than making, or in some cases, vice versa.
Foarte tare! Tine-o tot asa!
I love it. Go Sorin! You have to use the hell out of it to improve it.
Bro your projects are awesome I love watching ur videos they are clean diy .keep it up
Nice video shot, keep it up, thank you for sharing it:)
Extremely talented
