Could you provide some reference for those of us that have never created a PCB? Maybe in the future, you can make a separate video on just using EasyEDA for the PCB you created? Thank you
Check out instructables.com, its where i learned how to make a schematic in CADsoft EAGLE - a PCB Making Software, free with limitations for home use, but all professional editing options available, only the Max PCB Size is restricted. Once youve followed those tutorials (search for Eagle Tutorials on that website) then you will be able to grasp the use of Virtually ANY OTHER PCB Making software. Cadsoft Eagle is in my humble opinion, the best there is, with intuitive buttons and libraries - also check out Sparkfun.com for really good tutorials for PCB Making and Adafruit.com - three very good resources for ya :)
DUDE !!!!! WELL DONE MAN !!!! B-E-A-UTIFUL DESIGN MAKES AN OFF THE SHELF MODULE --- EVEN BETTER !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing, you are a LEGENDARY PCB WIZARD !!! Any chance you could share the schematic too, just to see how you made the PCB, i cant get at the schematic from just your provided gerber files, although those are so very very gratefully welcomed !! Please would you share the schematic too ? Regardless of your answer to the above Question, keep up the very VERY Inspiring work on PCB's and NEW PCB Creations, youve inspired this old Dog to get my hands outta me pockets and start tinkering again - Thank you so much for that !!!!
Hi Steve this is nice. Is it possible to buy this from you or any other source and discharging at a faster rate to quickly get the results by changing the loads as the 18650 batteries have very high discharge rate. Thanks.
Very nice, well done. That's a great set up. I don't like those battery testers because of what you said, they can be a pain. Could you design one with a fan port for a small fan for cooling? Great job. I really like it.
@@cosmo15900 24 of these modules ??? WOW NICE GOING hahahaha !!!!! Just goes to show, these work perfectly haha ! I somehow blew one and have no idea what went wrong with it but ordered another for now, but saving up to buy 4 to make a 4--cell discharging unit and then 4 TP4056 modules also on-board to recharge them again ! Do you have anything like that already constructed by any chance ? Thanks muchly in advance for any reply you decide to give, would be very grateful Cosmo15900 !
@@mranilkumarsethijr1368 Sad part is I ordered more as my bro stole my bench to test his. not sure how you blew one unless you went over 3 amps. I keep my test regulated at 1 amp or 0.5 amps. do not install the chargers to the same battery holder. its better to build a second unit for charging that way you keep charged batteries away from testing batteries. Just in case a battery fails it wont take all 4 or in my case 12.
@@cosmo15900 Yaa it was wierd, just went to use it one day and it wouldnt even turn on, plus i only use a max 1.5A, 5v regulated supply coming from a home built 7805CV Regulator with heatsink. i will get around to probing it with a DMM one of these days lol Thanks for your tip too, i will make a separate PCB for the charging of the cells, better be safe than sorry lol Thanks also for being positive, really grateful for that kinda attitude :)
i would test them after giving them a full charge first, but if they are Lithium and UNPROTECTED, it would be VERY WISE to get some Lithium-Protection-PCB's FIRST and connect up each battery cell to the protection PCB, then to the charger/tester... So: 1. Full Charge with PROTECTION PCB 2. Discharge with this Module 3. Write down recorded Result of the mAh rating on the battery cell with Sharpie, Put Clear Cellotape/Kapton Tape over the sharpie written text ! 4. Recharge Cell 5. Rinse and Repeat BE WARNED - CHARGING and DISCHARGING WITHOUT PROTECTED LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN/MAY/COULD EXPLODE THE CELL/s OR CAUSE FIRE/BURNS, i take no responsibility for your own actions, this is just how ive done things, always safety first...
Thank you. You can use bulbs instead of resistors. Thus, when the voltage drops, the current stops almost constant.
Please make 6 to 10 multi 18650 Lithium Battery Capacity Tester
You're amazing...

Okay I'll do that

Very Cool Steve!
Thanks man
good work
Wow really great ... Come with one more best video
Thanks

Nice project again Steve, just ordered 5 pcb"s
Thanks
@@OfficialPCBGOGO Very Nice - Checking out your website now !!
Thanks so much for coming on youtube and seeing us little people haha :)
Good work. Any chance you could design a discharge board using a 4 bay cell holder?
Thanks for the nice video. What is the reason for the red/black 5v wiring? Just curious.
for extra output volt.
Hi Steve this is nice. Is it possible to buy this from you or any other source and discharging at a faster rate to quickly get the results by changing the loads as the 18650 batteries have very high discharge rate. Thanks.
Can you prototype a pcb for 60 battery 18650 and 10 26650....with polarity protection ?
Can you show the circuit diagram that is not converted to gerber yet. I have trouble opening the gerber
what are the 2 wires you solder onto the under side of the tester for?
If i want to power 4 Tester with one Micro USB then I'll connect 4 tester in parallel
Very nice, well done. That's a great set up. I don't like those battery testers because of what you said, they can be a pain. Could you design one with a fan port for a small fan for cooling? Great job. I really like it.
VERY Good idea, this would benefit from a cooling fan and heatsink on top of those 2 5-watt resistors, they get VERY Toasty
I have one of those unites but that is a pretty neat design
How can I get your board for this project. The Gerber file is empty.
That is brilliant! Do you have any spare boards left over?
can i test a non rechargeable Li-on battery capacity?
Hi, do you know if it can test larger batteries? over (9999 mah)
What is minimum cutoff voltage we can set in this module?
2V
How much for 18650 ( discharge 2A ) capacity tester x4 this one from your other video ?
That's a nice idea. Can you provide me with one pcb?
Why need to put 2 Resistor?
Good idea. but This ZB2L3's voltage, current, capacity are inaccurated. note please.
So i do not buy ZB2L3.
I am not sure what you mean. I have 24 ZB2L3 units and they are all accurate. If you do not recommend ZB2L3 then what do you recommend??

Use 7.5 Ohms 5 Watt Resistor
can you give me this layout diagram
Sir how to test mobile battery capacity...bl4c nokia mobile battery??
Are you selling this project... What is the cost...can you deliver to Bangalore....??

Chciałbym kupić jedną płytkę pcb.
Why do we need dedicated PCB when such simple design can be achieved using multipurpose board
To make look clean and professional
please write english subs, I can hardly guess what you say.
Your edit is sooo great! Quality is awesome! Again this is the reason why *how much subscribers you have ≠ quality.* Can you say first song's name?

I hope that in 30-50 years max capacity of 18650 batteries will be more than 9999 mah, and this tester become outdated! =)))

Может продаете 1штуку платы?(и отправить мне в Белоруссию)
use jlc pcb they are only 2 bucks
It's not "Build"... It's "Upgrade"...!!!
thanks for explaining the step by step.... i joke.. you didn;;t
Another video where you explain nothing! Amazing!
