  • In this video, I will install a solar panel on my 20Ah Teslapple phone so I never have to plug it in to charge it ever again.

    I'm glad to come across this channel just when I needed it. While cleaning up my e-waste yesterday, I stumbled upon an iPhone 6S with a dead battery. Inspired to revive it, I thought of getting a large 10000mAh battery. Today, I found your channel, watched the relevant videos, and am grateful for the helpful information. Could you guide me on the best approach to connect the new battery to my phone, ensuring it remains portable and functional as a smart yet simple device?

    Love your hacks, where did you purchase the solar panel?

    I love the look of those polycrystaline solar panels. Also, is that magnet on the camera by any chance to disable the OIS? I have an iphone 6s plus that has a similar issue with the OIS.

      Iphone 6S has a problem with the camera where it's very shaky and unstable. Putting a magnet next to it stabilize the camera.

    Have you tried to reprogram the BMS to show the real percentage? I have done this on my iphone Xr with 6x18650s works amazingly

    I like what you did there, but why couldn't you just hook the tp 4056 board directly to the phone battery?

    • @vuaeco

      The tp4056 board is actually hooked up directly to the phone battery

    I'm surprised that solar panel puts out enough power to power the TP4056.

      Plenty of power. I also used it for my automatic pet feeding machine.

    If you reset the batteries board that goes to the phone, will it show the correct percentage ? I was just wondering since i did something similar and it shows 1% all the time.

    At this point, i bet your going to explain how the hot glue will not melt in summer sun😁....when are you doing vid on making a small carrying truck, so you can to pull behind u, thus taking the weight of the phone from your pocket to the lil truck.....p.s, u have the 1st phone to charge in full moon conditions🤣

      I would make the case out of wood, so it floats, give it a nice wood stain, and recess for the solar panels don't get scratches

    Since you're not using efficient MQTT charging circuit, It'll take that tiny panel 2 - 3 weeks of all day Sun to charge that size battery once....LoL
    Nice fantasy though'....

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      I've never heard of an MQTT circuit. Maybe something new from Elon? But there's no need for an MPPT for such a small panel. Yes, it will take 2-3 weeks of all day sun to fully charge the battery but why do you need to fully charge a 20Ah battery? You only need enough charge to offset your daily usage (and maybe a little more for a cloudy day) and you already have enough power to never have to plug it in again.

    Okay, imagine u need power from the sun, so u put your phone outside for HOURS - WHY i should have a phone, that must be lay outside to stay on battery "forever", when i cant use it, while its "charging"....thats a useless project. this panel have never the power to "charge and use" over time. if u use your phone, as many others do - the solarpanel never have enough power to hold it "forever" - but as always, if its shown in a video, its true....

      If you're a typical millennial who can't live without looking at a phone for every other second, I have a solution for you. Go outside in the sun, bring a mirror and put it under your phone. Position it in a way so that it reflects sun light onto the solar panel on the back of the phone. That way you get some vitamin D and your phone gets charged.
      Or if you're the kind who have a nervous breakdown if you're away from your phone for more than a minute then this hack isn't for you. You'll need to carry a generator with you or invest in a very long USB cable to plug it in. I kid you not, I've seen 20 feet long USB cables.
