ULTIMATE battery pack mod for Xbox one using two 18650 cells!

- I decided to try for a third time to make a battery pack for Xbox One controllers using 18650 cells. This time I want to focus on a less invasive route by making it universal with other controllers.
You should sell this in a kit. I would buy it.
Haha, I was thinking if hooking up a 18650 to a controller would work and if it could handle the voltage. I just typed "controller 18650" into google, this was the first video that popped up and it even answered my question about the voltage, amazing.
Also you said it draws about 60mA. I'm not sure about this, but doesn't the controller regulate the power draw and draw less current when you give it a higher voltage? If that is the case, I think it would be better to use power instead of current, since that makes it easier to compare especially to other types of batteries.
One day I'll have to try and see if the Steam controller can also handle 18650s, because that controller just sips power. Using the same rechargeable AAs it last almost 3 times as long as my Xbox One controller.
4:40 4.2volts, how did you get that number? Two cells 3.7V would be 7.4V? I am new to this, is the PCB you installed a converter? Thanks for the video
@@Doo-l5x I don't think you meant to reply to my comment.
Many Li-ion batteries put out around 3.7V, but when they're fully charged they can output as much as 4.2V.
Just search for Li-ion voltage curve
Also normal AAs are 1.5V each so you use two in series to get 3V, but since these 18650 cells are already 3.7V each, he wired them in parallel.
@@EVPointMaster thanks for the info. Specifically about them and the arrangement of the batteries being in parallel. I actually saw a video shortly after I had posted this question. Since then, I realized that I need a parallel battery case rather than yesterday a serial. Thanks for the updates!
Nice man! Wish I had your soldering skills and good eye sight to see the tiny transistors and diodes. lol
Thanks, Bruce! A microscope helps out a lot but for the sake of the videos I have to free eye it lol
@@Solder_king understand that my brother!
You can always just solder two 18650 holders (the same ones in the video) to the battery terminals directly and skip the controller board. You can just charge 18650s using a separate USB charger.
In Theory can't you incorporate step down voltage converter, and your circuit achieve closer to 3 V? Which would enable longer use of the controller in between charges
This is very important to me ☺️ . Nice video.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
@@Solder_king can you send me a link with all the materials
I have run my xbox controller off a single 18650 instead of aa's for years, and the controller is fine. 4.2v is not too much for the internal voltage regulator.
its not explode?
Great video man , but I have a question , can you do this with a AliExpress’ BMS ?
Absolutely!
You can do this with any wireless controller even for a television remote and it’s possible to do this with just 1 18650 battery also!
Do you happen to have a link to that? Or perhaps OP can provide the file for your circuit? Lot to ask I know, but would be extremely helpful for those of us who are less tech savvy
Hi, can you test LiFePO4 26650? It's 3.2V so you don't need to modify anything.
Nice hack man! Btw can you pls. provide a detail info. on that board. Thanks
I will in an upcoming video :) Thanks for watching!
@@Solder_king do you think you could possibly take a ps3 battery out of a ps3 controller and put the battery in a xbox one controller?
nice video mate ... wanna do that but for xbox360 controller ! will 18650 works well ? tried the use usb method and connected the controller to power bank which had 3x 18650 batteries inside (parallel) it worked but it lost sync with the console and kept blinking !
I'd try and Frankenstein my battery charger for these batteries if I still had my vape batteries or vaped still.
Vaping is gay
It doesn’t make sense why they don’t sell this or otherwise make the slot bigger to fit these batteries
Why not use the Xbox controller's charging point to also charge the batteries?
It's not rated for the same voltage ranges
@@unknownmanufacturer2669 is there a diagram breaking that down? I've been trying to find it
Great video. Is it possible to remove the rumble motors and replace them with one battery each side where the rumble motors should be? I would definitely try that if possible.
It is! I actually made that not too long ago and posted the video on my channel! My approach to it was rather crude but it did prove to work.
While repairing my d-pad the first time (out of 100), the motors became desoldered, but everything operated fine when I left them detached. I finally decided to just take them out to save some weight (the controller still feels the same in my hand). Sticking some batteries in there seems like a cool idea!
@@SeriesXM It also makes the controller last longer since the motors no longer draw current!
He did it here ruclips.net/video/9BoWzStfd54/видео.html
What would be the out put voltage of those two batteries going in to the Xbox one controller when they are fully charged ? 4.2v?
Fully charged is 4.2! Doesn't harm the controller at all. I set up my bench power supply over night and let it run at 4.2 and the controller didn't even get warm.
@@Solder_king so if i decide to run it on a single 18650 cell, i can just wire it direct to the controller without any battery protection circuit? I will take care of charging the battery outside the controller.
this is so cool. how you done this for a powera Nintendo controller? I've been working on that myself
I've buildt a rechargable pack using a tp4056 charging module and a 3.7v battery, when I put it in my controller there's a high pitched ringing, I can figure it out any ideas
can i just put a single 18350 battery without the charging board? i plan on charging the batteries with a separate charger.
Does the controller charge the batteries from it's own USB port?
If yes, how do you make it do that?
Afaik it won't try to charge normal or rechargeable AA batteries.
I'm talking specifically about the xbox series s/x controller but I assume the battery charging works the same?
No. I think there are pins inside that will backfeed USB current, but it does not through the battery contacts. Either way, the current would be low, like
I was thinking to do this to a ps3 controller 😅
I tried to do this to my Nvidia shield controller 🎮 and the
ribbon cable frayed. ): Why isn't there an 18650 controller on AliExpress dammit.
Where did you get that clear shell?
Stumbled upon it on Ebay! It was 10 bucks but it came from China so it did take a while to get but absolutely worth it!
Can someone please tell me if it's possible to power a xbox1 controller with dewalt 20 volt battery packs??
I will buy 6 if you sell these.
