    Trying to Get BMS to Supply Bare 5v

    Currently trying to get this board to simply supply me 5v through the USB terminals on the back. https://a.co/d/3mZtA3k I have the USB + and - hooked to a Wemos D1 Mini V4, and when I activate the KEY button on the charger board (with a battery powering the board), it flashes on for a moment...

    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...

    Is this circuit safe for 18650 charging?

    So i got this flashlight-it has built in lithium 18650. But i looked the PCB, i think it's way too simple. I only see resistors, and only has 1 super small IC. Does this even work for guarding and protecting lithium 18650 like BMS? I compared it with TP4056, tp has lots of IC (DW IC protect...

    Charging lithium ion batteries with laptop charger while supplying power to the load.

    I'm making a portable speaker setup that can be powered and charged at the same time by a regular 19.5v laptop charger. I'm kinda noob with electronics, so I'm not sure if this setup will work as expected. Anyway, the system runs on 4s 18650 batteries, the (protected) batteries are charged via a...

    Do LI Charger Chips Require Constant Current Input?

    LI charger chips are switching step-down converters with a constant-current mode. Say it's a single switch buck-type charger. It's input range is 5V to 10V, and is capable of charging cells at 2A. Will that chip require a 2A input regardless of Vin, whether 5V or 10V? Or, can the chip accept a...

    Li-ion cell charging module resistor selection?

    Greetings. A vendor selling TP4056-based 5 V charging modules for Li-ion cells specified the following resistance values and resulting current for selecting the current-programming resistor: R (kΩ) I (mA) 30 50 20 70 10 130 5 250 4...

    Appropriate charging method and wire pinout? (lithium ion battery pack.)

    Hello there. I have a lithium ion pack that I would like to use in a project to power lights for my bicycle. But I don't fully understand the pinout of the wires. Could someone explain to me how to connect wires up so I can charge this battery.? Also what type of charger I should use to charge...

    Most efficient method to switch between 2 battery system for EV?

    Hello all! I am currently conducting my thesis research. My aim is to determine the most efficient way to combine high power density batteries with high energy density batteries in an hybrid system for powering electric aircraft. The idea is by using two different types of batteries which are...
