Dude, you may not post as many DIY builds as other RUclips channels I subscribe to, but I can’t think of anyone who comes up with stuff as useful and well designed. I came onboard when you posted a video on how to build the keychain “spark maker” (can’t recall what you called it atm) out of copper tubing & a lighter wheel & flint. That video posted at a perfect time for me and so did this one. I’m currently sitting surrounded by my pile of recycled batteries from phones, power tools, cars, laptops etc… Currently, I’m leaning toward a battery spot welder, then portable battery pack like you did here, then a welder or powerful Bluetooth stereo done in the style of the early 90’s Ghetto Blaster, but with modern components & lots of lithium ion power. Outside of electronics, next up for me is a Clamptite tool build. If you aren’t familiar with those you may want to check them out. They seem pretty useful… Again, thanks for posting and if you keep on posting ‘em I’ll keep on watching ‘em. 🤘🏼😈👍🏼
Thanks mate. Always nice to know that there’s actually someone watching videos I’m uploading and getting something from them. I checked out the clamptite online - some very nice engineering right there.
Yep, got all that stuff to reuse the old battery in my makeup case😝 This is a fun project if you have all that stuff to work with, and a place to work in. Not feasible for most
could maybe run the wires underneath the module and separate them from the board with some non-conductive tape. That would allow you to turn the board around without needing the extra micro-usb adapter
Only thing you should’ve done differently is open up the battery top and take out the built-in BMS that way you’re not trying to work through two of them to charge your battery and use it
you need a slightly better (10pennys or so lol) dc to dc converter for that because : max amp @ 5 V is limited by the anemic cap impersonater on those board @ 1.5 A (linear degression -> 12 V ~ 0,7 A etc.) so you have no benefit of adding cells besides a non linear increase in Wh. If thats all you need you still have an issue : LOADING. You can load liPo and LiION(M) in parallel unregulated IF you know your batteries well ... meaning same Capacity (Wh), same capping Voltage (4.05 V vs. 4.22 V is not ideal...) same AS IS State of both etc. (Basically you need the identical same cell in the same point in its life) Otherwise you degrade the better Battery to the state of the worse battery in a couple of cycles. Even IF you have battery clones, tested by yourself to every spec it is recommendet to have at least a thermal fuse between both cells. Good DC-DC amps include connections for thermal sensors to adjust charging (stop, or even cool actively lol). For a small little toy project it does not matter if you have a firre extinguisher handy, but you cant rely on it that way.

Californiaprofile Actually he’ll get 100% of the battery I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about but what he should’ve done is taken out the built-in BMS at the top of the battery. I’ve built tons of these and I’ve never just got 10% if that’s what you’re getting you don’t know what you’re doing and you should stop

thanks so much for the dialogue, so many of these videos have no talking but annoying AF music. cheers
This was so useful, thank you, mate! Brilliant idea of using a resistor leg + adding an additional micro-USB!
anytime - glad it was of some help

Love this video! Thank you for taking the time to make and post it.
holy cow, the resistor wire trick 🤯

Nice little powerbank

Who the hell dislikes a video like this?
no satisfying everyone!
Hey, Why you are not connecting directly ro the Micro USB in the Module itself ??.That seems to be input rt ?
thanks mate, great video!
How do you got that box of goods
0:21 on nvm
They have them around supermarkets and other places in Australia
@@lonesoulsurfer im in vietnam XD
I guess there’s no recycling battery bins there?
Love Vietnam as well - was there a few years ago for a holiday. Beautiful country

and thx

Is it OK to use 5V charger on a battery rated for 3.7V? Because that's exactly the kind of a battery used in this video.
The module used is specifically designed to charge this type of battery so there is no danger of over-charge
Can you add more than one old battery to the same modules, and if you can, how or what is the layout?
not really with this little module. I'll overheat if you added more in parallel.
Could you stack these batteries and connect them in parallel?
you need a slightly better (10pennys or so lol) dc to dc converter for that because :

Does anyone have any ideas about how to make a slim enclosure for this? I want to permanently paste it to the back of my phone
also, is that a bad idea? Will it get too hot?

You'll get maybe 10%battery out of this
