When you consider the range of tools used here, the result is pretty good. Nice with a DIY video without the use of CNC, 3D printers and other expensive machines. Good job, and good explanation.
I admire your hard work, your patience, intelligence, and your dedication in sharing your skills. I am a lazy dog that does not have the patience and time and would rather buy a finished product. cheers and more power Master Sorin!!
Very cool project. I probably would have tried to make it possible to take it apart and change stuff, all the glue is somewhat permanent. But when I first saw it I did not think it was wood.
When I first saw it . I thought it was 3d print! Nice job. Mine takes up about 1 sq meter! And only charges 12 cells ! And discharges 3 cells. Nice! Have you thought about using some thermal sensors in a silicone gel or something to get the charger/dischager to shut off if the cells get hot? I was getting up mid night for batt change. And put a cell in back ward twice. I started using more light when changing cells. Trying to charge and test 100's & 100's of fast as I can takes a long time. So I got up mid night for cell change for two months plus. I have 98 to go. Then time to get more! I only need about 10,000 cells with 2.5-3.0 ah each. (2600-3000 mah each.) In a 29.4v 7s bank. It's gonna take time!!!! I'm only like 1/100th through that at best. I guess about 5k cells would work. But what's wrong with excess!!! Nice video!!
Thank you for this video. I liked your approach to the charge/discharge issue. I don't know which I hate more, hot glue on the fingers or two fingers stuck together with super glue. Keep broadcasting!!
wow awesome. Could you make one that lets you set the voltage to charge to or discharge to? I know lots of people that would love this and if you put a kit together I'm sure you would get some community support :)
I just love this 18650 charger project even more than your last one. When I first saw the thumbnail to this video I though it was a textured 3D print. Nice work! Again, you've got balls of steel to solder smd circuit boards with a 100 watt soldering gun. Oh, and now subscribed and rang the bell.
You have a great project, but I thought of a addition, how about a voltage and tempreature connections to a Nano then to the computer so you can monitor and record these parameters. I connect 4 leads to the positive poles of the battery and 4 thermisters to the battery holders mounted in such a way as the press against the batteries. I am writing a sketch to monitor these valuse and send them to a computer useing putty. If you want more info let me know.
Great video as Always!! I think that everybody will agree that the best part was about the "spaghetti sandwich". (7:18) dont get me wrong all the DIY project is great !!! Sorin, keep creating us amazing projects!
Very good project. I like it a lot. One difference I would do though - Get rid of the blue LED's. I would have charging as amber LED's, and when fully charged, use green. Even better the Gallium Phosphide green which is more of a yellowish green.
3:00 be sure that over the charging duration it will soften the glue enough to where the wires might mode the charging modules around - try using sanitary silicone next time - takes forever to set, but it will withstand very high temperatures without breaking a sweat (and is also soft enough to rip in case reworks need doing, unlike epoxy)
Dunno if it's enough softening to worry, hot glue takes quite a lot of heat to melt, those circuits will shut down long before 100°c (the IC, the board is a lot less), dunno what type of glue he's using but from my searches they come in low and high temperature variants, so about 120ºc to melt on low temp. type (a bit worrisome) and high temp is about 190°c which is way out of the range.
Un proiect excelent! Felicitări Sorine. Circuitele de încărcare le.am testat si eu, sunt foarte încântat de ele. Cred ca ma voi apuca de proiectul asta in concediu.
La tp4056 fara " short circuit protection " ai putea folosi diode de 3A la ieșire și a pune o siguranță de 2A pentru a avea protecție împotriva polarității inverse și de scurt circuit ! felicitări esteticii îmi place !!!
Wow, muchas felicidades Sorin! Tu proyecto es asombroso, super funcional y con un acabado muy profesional! Me encantaría poder replicarlo, deseame suerte para que funcione!
Very nice project sir. I was amazed by the transparent daylight reading plastic for the LED displays. Very very nicely done. But I must say, it will be a bit expensive this way? You could also use the same holder and a iCharger with a 4cells balance plug.
hi. it is a bit expensive, because it has a lot of components. but I like these tp4056 charging modules, they are very useful in a lot of DIY projects. you can make a cheaper charger with these charging modules, without all the other components, I have a separate video for that.
@@Sorin_DIY Thanks for the info! I do like the sturdyness and dedication of your project. This thing is built to last! I am sure in a 100years they will still be charging 18650's on your project.
2.2K gives right at 500mA, I love those TP4056 charger modules Such a great build and very clean an innovative...GREAT JOB! That battery protection circuit on the charger will protect the TP4056 from reverse flow and killing the charger module (ask me how I know ;) )
Hi sorin, i had a small request, can you do a DIY video for a device that has three different 3.5mm audio inputs and gives out one 3.5mm audio output, with a switch that allows to swap between the three audio inputs...👍👍👍

I noticed that the schematic did not include the led indicators for the charging and fully charge, was wondering if it would be included, I'm confused, But nice build!
thanks a lot! now i have something else i have to make with the batteries i have lying around. As if i didn't have enough projects i'm working on already :)
Excellent presentation, educational and well spoken. Beautiful tool, too. I like the wood. I'll need to watch a few more times with pencil and paper! A schematic would be nice for those us climbing a steep learning curve..;- )

Taunter Atwill I bought for 8.50€ (9$) a double usb battery charger for AA, AAA, 18650, 26650, 18500 and more, which works with usb/pc or wall. But no display, only green or red leds. For 12.90€ double battery plus decharging function, or for the same 12.90€ a 4x slot. This DIY isn't very cheap but it's nice. I would build one, if i could understand if i may install a spring as size adapter and use it for any kind of batteries...... Once you buy a 10x pieces of a component, and assembly only 4x, you spend the same amount of money for a 4x or 10x!

hi. the USB connector is ok, it doesn't heat up. I took it from a printer cable, because is better than other USB cables. if you use a thin USB cable, it may heat up. that's why I used thick wires. the USB connector is just a piece of metal and plastic, it's not the weak point in the circuit, to heat up. only if there is an imperfect connection between the USB connector and USB port (oxidized contacts), both port and connector can warm up.
Did you put a pull down resistor on your sensor wires so your voltage reading doesn't have a seizure when you remove the battery? Even a 10M pulldown will be fine, which would drain nearly nothing.
hi. I don't have it anymore. the drawing was made in ms word but not with the exact dimensions, but only for reference. I marked the exact dimensions directly on the plywood.
