    Charging 18650s - Series or parallel? Reverse polarity protection?

    So, I have a few things which use 18650 cells. I also have a balance charger for hobby RC aircraft, an IMax B6AC to be precise. Instead of buying an 18650 charger I went for the cheaper option of using the balance charger that I already own. It comes with several outputs, one being two female...

    Outdoor LED / Solar panel / Battery Charger Design

    I'm working on an outdoor LED lighting project. It just basically works as a motion detection light (turns on when movement is picked up through a PIR sensor). The amount of LEDs I want to use brings the power consumption to 7.2W (12V, 600mA), but the LEDs will only stay on for 20 seconds per...
