    DUDE SALUTE TO YOU...
    NO MORE WASTED OLD SMARTPHONE BATTERIES!!
    THIS IS WHAT I WAS IMAGINING AND LOOKING FOR!!! (unfortunately I'm a dum dum and Doesn't possess the knowledge for this...
    But thanks to you....now I have a guide

    Very Good. But i think the clip may damage the cell. What is the name of this configuration of lithium ion cells wrapped in the form of flat rectangular shape with 3 or more pins? Seems like samsung innovated on nokia type of batteries with similar configuration

    I had an old iPhone charging case with the huge connector and I opened it up so I could use it with newer devices the battery got disconnected from the board so hope I can do something like this with it

  • @JasonMasters
    @JasonMasters 7 лет назад

    Um... the diode in the positive battery connection would make it impossible to recharge the battery since it opposes any reverse current flow, which is required in order to recharge the battery.
    Or am I missing something?

    i just slipped the battery out of an old samsung tablet, and it says it was supposed to be putting out a nominal 3.8v, which would be absolutely perfect for my bike headlamp. i really need to figure out how to capitalize on that. especially at the 15.96Wh that the thing was originally designed to do.

      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад

      Thanks for your comment. This selfmade powerbank is indeed a great power supply for Pi's and arduino's cause it features a switch instead of a low-power-consumption-turn-off-function (i'm pretty sure that there is a shorter word :D). I don't know if you ever tried to power an arduino or a small circuit off a usual powerbank but I tried it and it was always shutting off after 30 seconds, very annoying:D.

    I have an internal battery that has 6 wires coming out into a single small, white plug. How would I adapt this tutorial for this battery?

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  6 лет назад

      6 Wires sounds like a 3 cell battery. The BMS board that i am using in this video is made for a single cell so you would need one for each cell and wire the inputs as well as the outputs up in parallel. To find out if you have multiple 3,7V cells you can use a multimeter and measure the voltage between two of the plugs pins to find out which wires connect to which cells. If you get readings that are far below 3,7 V you probably don't have standard lithium cells therefore you would need a different charging pcb.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад +1

      Yes it is, but you will need an individual charging and protection board for each of the batteries. You can then go on and connect all of the board's the outputs to a single step-up-converter and all the inputs to your input connector.

    • @robertcartier5088
      @robertcartier5088 6 лет назад +1

      There are two versions of the TP4058 charging board... The older one, which has a mini-USB socket, does not have the discharge protection. The one you want has a micro-USB socket and has both OUTPUT soldering pads and BATTERY soldering pads. At exactly 1:20 in the video you can see a close up view of the board. The 4 soldering pads are near the index finger. That is the board you want.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  6 лет назад

      If the battery is a Lithium-Ion battery with a nominal voltage of 3,7V it will work. But be very careful not to deform or puncture the battery. I ones removed a similar battery from an old phone and accidentally punctured it with my screwdriver. Luckily it did only sizzle for a bit and didn't catch fire.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад

      If it does'nt work on first try, you should hook it up to a USB charger. The board should respond after it received a bit of input power. I hope this solves your issue:).

  • @robertdbettis

    • @BasementEngineering

      To charge the batteries you can simply use a regular 5V USB cable like the one for your phone and a micro USB cable.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад +1

      I can understand you, it is always a little bit tricky to get your parts as a kid. I remember when I was younger and had to ask my parents to order all the components for me. They where a little annoyed sometimes. Unfortunately I can't give you any better advise than asking your parents or another adult to order those things for you.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад

      Yes you can indeed use more than one lithium ion cell and combine them in a bigger battery pack. However you can't simply hook them up in parallel. As the individual cells will most likely differ in capacity, you will need a charging board for each individual cell in order to prevent overcharging. I already answered that question in the comment section over on instructables and included a few graphics so you can head over there as well www.instructables.com/id/Reuse-Old-Phone-Batteries-As-a-Powerbank-earth-Day/.

    • @BasementEngineering
      @BasementEngineering  8 лет назад +1

      The premise of this project is the recycling aspect. It gives old phone batteries a second life :) . There is even an advantege over a standartised power banks, you can quickly exchange the cells in case you need some extra juice.
      With a price tag of around two euros it is a fairly inexpensive solution as well.
      I would also be careful when buying very cheap power banks because there are many cases in which the actual capacity of them is lower than 10% of the value stated on the enclosure. Even aged quality batteries (from sony, samsung, panassonic,.. etc.) have a higher capacity than those brand new cells.
      I guess this answers your question.
      Have a nice day :).
