    I have used this exact little switchmode module, they are really good BUT they are destroyed almost instantly if the input voltage is removed while a battery is still connected to the output. The addition of a reverse bias protection diode from the output positive terminal to the input positive diode will protect it.

    I used this to charge my 12 volt battery on my Bluetooth boombox, works perfect. My fuses were blown on my volt meter and didn't work at first. I use a laptop charger putting out 19 volt and connect it to a 2.5 jack and then to the step down board that brings it down to 12 volts that I need. Thanks Steve

    • @wanting2makethemoney
      @wanting2makethemoney 2 года назад

      Sorry I realize this is old, but I have a question. What are is the 2.5 jack you add in? I am trying to picture what your saying but don't understand that part. Are you meaning you in-line a 2.5a plug in and then reduce the voltage on the voltage screw like he has? I have a Monster RR2 speaker and I am having a hard time getting it to charge, but I think it is because I am using a 10a 12.5v cord and it states on the back to only use a 15a cable? I don't think it should take as long as it does to charge. It has been plugged in for 15hrs or more and moved one light. That didn't last long at all. I recently purchased the battery so I had it checked at Advance and it is good to go still do didn't hurt it, so do I have to let it charge longer and if so I need to figure out something more practical charging even if I have to charge outside the speaker. It is very easy to access anyways. Thanks in advance, and appreciate your response if your able.

      @@wanting2makethemoney always remember that the amps on whatever power supply your using has to be greater than the number of amps on the device that your trying to charge. And that's because amps are pulled out not pushed in like volts so when the device has met its required number of amperage it automatically stops drawing out anymore the device only draws out what it needs and thats why the power plug/supply your using has to have a higher amperage rating than your device. Hope that help. Good luck 👍

    These low cost, simple switching regulators are brilliant for this kind of job when a DC supply (of the wrong voltage but the right power is available) and I have bought many for many different types of project. Great informational video BUT ...
    1. There is simply NO need to cut off the jack plug from the PSU at all. This is plain wasteful and reduces future flexibility. Simply obtain a suitable jack socket and wire THAT to the regulator instead. This means you can keep using your laptop supply ... for other things (e.g. other low cost voltage supplies) if not for supplying your laptop as normal.
    2. When using this type of switching regulator one should ALWAYS fit a Schottky diode (or diode pair) between the regulator output and the battery to protect the regulator from probable reverse voltage damage when the mains is deliberately or accidentally disconnected before disconnecting the regulator from the battery. One diode ... a few cents and problem solved, circuit protected.
    3. by implementing 1. above, the regulator can also be housed in a plastic weatherproof box together with a low cost voltage or volts/amps display available from eBay or Banggood or others for less than a burger, and can be left connected to a car battery in the car - set the output volts (measured AFTER the Schottky diode) closer to 14.4 volts and the output current limit to 4 or 5 amps for a large, wet tech battery e.g car though. A permanent connection can be made to a dedicated charging socket inside the vehicle cabin ready to just have a laptop supply plugged into it whenever charging is required. No opening the bonnet, no messing with croc clips just plug in, switch on the mains and away to go. Just remember this will NOT provide enough power to start a car, just to recharge the battery over a few HOURS! It's not an instant fix.
    4. If you implement 3. above with a volt or volt/amp meter, remember to fit the meter AFTER the output diode otherwise your charge/battery voltage will not show correctly although the amps might (depending on exact meter type and circuit wiring). If you intend to leave it in the vehicle permanently remember to EITHER fit ONE extra lead input to the box - an ignition switched positive feed to the +ve connection on the meter, OR the meter can be connected direct to the incoming supply (voltage permitting) and because of the Schottky diode on the output there will be no power from the battery to power it either..
    5. WHATEVER amps you wish to utilise, ensure the input supply can provide them, but remember though that although a 19v, 4A supply will have almost 80 watts available assuming the regulator is 85% efficient (they usually are, or better) then taking a conservative 80% figure ... 80 Watt x 80% = 64 watts at 14.4 volts = 4.4 A. 85% efficiency gives 4.7A and 90% efficiency gives 5A! How can you get more amps out than in? You are converting ENERGY not voltage so look at the power IN compared to the power OUT multiplied by the expected (or measured) efficiency of the regulator.
    6. Finally, if you want to be able to charge OTHER types of batteries (e.g. rechargeable electric drill batteries, then simply replacing the two on-board trim pots with the same value panel mounted ones will allow you to set both Volts AND current EXTERNALLY so that your supply can be set for constant volts (lead-acid charging) OR constant current (NiCd or NiMh) but be wary of using it to charge Lion or LiPo batteries/cells due to their much more complex charging criteria. For 18 volt batteries you'll almost certainly need a higher voltage input than 19v. It MAY be sufficient to use 24v but I'd expect you to require a few more than that even ... say 26 to 28 volts.

      Just to show I wasn't just trolling the other day with my long comment above I was actually awaiting a couple of parts for my own 12v lead-acid charger based on exactly this idea. The working (but still incomplete) charger is now in use keeping my vehicle battery topped up. Unfortunately, the meter I received from China quite some time ago doesn't appear to be able to display amps so I am awaiting a new one. I also have ordered another regulator since the ones I currently have (several) do not have any current limit setting pot. Consequently I set the output volts a bit lower than where I'd like them to be at 14.1v open circuit and it is keeping my battery very nicely sat at 13.8 to 13.9 with a trickle charge of around 360 to 370 mA (measured with my mutimeter).
      Another thing I'm awaiting is a pack of heatsink adhesive pads so that I can properly affix the two heatsinks I have, to the regulator chip. The one finned heatsink you can see is basically just stuck down with silver heatsink compound! You should also be able to see the black "transistor" like object just next to the regulator which is actually the dual Schottky diode I mentioned should be used to protect the circuit from reverse voltage from a still connected battery should the input power be lost or removed before disconnecting the battery itself.
      As I mentioned I have the meter connected to confirm the battery voltage but I had a rethink about what I said previously and I power the meter from the incoming supply rather than the battery output as that prevents undue drain on the battery once power is removed. However ... If a 9v battery e.g. a PP3 is connected at the input it can just about power the meter but not provide sufficient voltage for the regulator to operate and the meter would then show the true battery volts. A working ammeter would confirm this of course.
      I had to come back and re-edit this due to a complete shambles with Google providing links that didn't work so apologies to anyone who has been confused and also to anyone looking for the other replies i made to try to post pictures - IO deleted those and instead put all the pictures into a public Drive folder: goo.gl/Rn2dXY which hopefully all can access without problem

      @boblewis5558 7 лет назад +1

      Jerome Daniel sorry I'm not certain what you actually mean. Is the "boat" 12v or 24 volts? if 24 volts and you need to use a 12 V fan (or fans) then just get one of these little DC to DC regulators from eBay, set the output to 12v and connect as many fans as you need up to the maximum supply capability (with and without appropriate heatsinks as stated previously). if the boat voltage is 12volts already, then just connect your fans direct to the 12v supply.

I will be returning the module and hopefully the replacement will work as shown. I raise my hat to you sir on a clear and informative video and only wished I could say yes it works for me.

    Thanks for the clear, simple video.
    We are wanting to run / charge a portable device powered by a 12v, 7A/H AGM battery, from a car cigarette lighter plug, and this looks like the perfect circuit for limiting Amps and Volts to safe levels.
    My question: Is there a built-in function, or a simple modification for disconnecting the load battery if its voltage should fall below the safe minimum for gel batteries? Some customers will likely take the running device out of their utes into the field and may forget/fail to plug it back into the car in time, thus compromising the battery.

And that is very very cheap price for those I paid $5 usd for one unit similar to that but it does have a built on voltage monitor screen so I don’t have to use a multimeter.

    It took awhile but read through all the responses and would like to confirm and ask a question(s).
    The order of disconnect from the battery if it is important is what battery first then supply?
    Never looked at the inside of my multimeter so have to ask what does the input look like when connected in current measuring mode?
    The diode you speak of for preventing the Solar panel from acting as a load at night, if used for this purpose, is in series with the positive side between the solar panel and battery?
    My battery is 5Ah 12V.
    Marking on the battery
    Standby use: 13.6-13.8 Voltage regulation at .75amps
    Cyclic use; 14.5-14.9 Voltage regulation at 1.5amps.
    In my case, the output at the battery for this charging device should be 14.5 to 14.9 and set
    the current to 1.5amps.

    Can you pls give me a detailed description of how to accomplish this? I am a novice in this field; but I can fix it if you give me the necessary me guidance especially concerning the installation of a diode.
    By the way, will this setup require an inverter for the laptop charger to pick up the energy coming from the solar panel?
    Thank you in advance.

      @SteveWillsonKujur  7 лет назад

      +Muhammad Salau yes you need a inverter or a boost converter to boost the 12 v
      Connection
      1. Solar panels got 2 wire negative and positive
      2 . Converter got 2 input and 2 output
      3 . Output directly goes to battery okay?
      4. Input - connect solar panel positive wire to input positive .
      5. Input - connect Solar panal negative wire to a diode before connecting it to input negative .
      got it ?

    help, I have a large 24 volt lifepo4 battery in my camper but the camper is 12v /13.8v. should I keep a 12v/13.8/ battery charged with a 24 to 13.8v stepdon or just get a giant 13.8 step-down and have no battery?

    Is it capable of charging 12v 7ah lead acid battery?
    If yes, then what voltage and current should I set so as to charge my battery as soon as possible

    • @ravi28270
      @ravi28270 4 года назад +1

      Charging voltage between 14.4v and 14.Safe charging current is 0.1C.That is 0.1*7=700 milliamps for a 7Ah battery.You can increase the charging current upto 2 Amps,but that will heat your battery and reduce its life.

    Nice video!!! If there’s a device that runs on a 6V 4.5 AH SLA battery, isn’t it possible to take it out and connect the device leads to a 6V AC to DC power source and run the device through an electric outlet without the battery?
    If so should any consideration be made to the Amps of the adapter to be used or any 6V adapter would work?

    Hi great vid! And great to see how you did the setting upTHANKS. I blew my meter in Amp before so were a bit nervous! I want to ask why you leave on cable the "lump" by the plug on charger? Has it any use? Seems a bit in the way. thx

    • @gillyarchtop
      @gillyarchtop 4 года назад

      The “lump” is an inductor.
      Inductor: They are used to block AC while allowing DC to pass; inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes. They are also used in electronic filters to separate signals of different frequencies.

    You used DC to DC Buck converter which can give 14V 2A is that a constant current source because considering property of lead acid charging its current remains constant for a while and then it decreases to around 0.03A ?
    Can 12V 2A SMPS will suffice to charge 12V Lead Acid Battery?

    Hi I have the same step down module. When I plug in the battery to charge I still get the red led along with the blue.
    What does the red LED mean?
    Obviously I'm doing something wrong because on the video you only get the red when you're short circuiting measuring the Amps and it goes to only blue once you plug the battery

    Thanks for the great video. I have a question about a similar subject. I live in an area where there is a constant breeze and want to build a small wind generator. I thought it would be nice to charge my phone from this generator. I am new to electronics so if this seems like a silly question I apologize. Since the power being stored from the wind generator would fluctuate with wind speed, would that harm anything you are charging? Sort of like a power surge. Or are there things you can add to avoid such a situation? Thanks

    • @ChibunduUmeh

    Does dc dc step down convertor automatically stops the flow of current after battery charged? I guess it does not. After battery fully charge its voltage will be 13.5-14 volts. The circuit must be cut when the voltage reaches the desired value.
    After the battery is full, the energy of the battery should be automatically cut off.
