In this small project I will show you how to create a DIY USB Type-C PD powerbank the super simple way. To do that I will firstly test a powerbank PCB based around the IP5328P IC I got from Aliexpress. The measurements will show us how suitable the PCB is for creating a DIY powerbank. Afterwards I will then show you how I created a Li-Ion battery pack and a custom 3D printed enclosure before I will put all the components together to form the powerbank. Let's get started!

He has everything laying around btw
Yeah gone are the days with sticky back plastic and sellotape 😁
You can't fish without bare. You are right.
hahahaha rightly said
If you like to do DIY stuff, you probably going have random stuff laying around
Ahahahahah. He does! 😆
Who else remembers when he used to highlight only two times
😂 Now he's doing it four or five times over again 😂
I don't know why but it annoys me greatly because the ink drips out and becomes blurry. Also the highlighter becomes dirty.
What's the point here?
○hšë3|}ĕə
Haha
Gotta get that watch time 😂
This is soo relatable. The amount of times I decided to cancel building my own circuit because someone in China already made them pre-made and even cheaper, is just astonishing. I find designing and building your own is only worth if the application is very specific or you just want to learn something. Other than those, just get them pre-made.
I think you should be a little bit more steady during soldering, those crystallized solder joints are painful to watch..
Or maybe you can make it more powerful than pre-made pcb like episode of diy or buy bms
Please don't tell him about flux ;)
- often the boards designed in China are under-designed in regards to cooling, components cut to save cost, schematics and bom missing, errors in layout - fixed in other revisions/sellers - and you can't be sure if it has the right/'original' components mounted or not. It is a gamble, for what it is worth
He's steady enough while soldering, lead free solder tends to make all the joints look slightly crystallized.
That and tin whiskers are why I still use leaded solder.
EDIT: I only use leaded solder for electronics, if I'm doing plumbing I use lead-free plumbing solder.
I know about the harmful effects of lead, and I use a fume extractor as well as wash my hands after I've touched leaded solder.
@@EgonSorensen My experience with Chinese module boards is that they often enough just follow the datasheet typical applications to the letter, a totally no-brainer approach. It probably costs them more to cheap it out removing components and testing (or having someone that knows electronics to that point) than if they just have a quick turn-around with minimal develpment cost, down to 1h board done with auto-router. What they definitely do often enough tho is terrible power supplies or crap component quality, specially filter capacitors.
Things probably start to become ugly when they start going with some very no-name ICs, and even that is usually down to the IC being straight out made for crap products and they just follow as told on the manual.
@@44R0Ndin I have absolutely no idea why you need to solder something when Plumbing I thought Plumbing was just sticking a bunch of pipes together and sometimes using some glue to attach some pieces with joints

"I then got out my thermonuclear power plant which I had in a spares box and connected it up"
Well yeah? These days basically everyone has a few fusion reactors lying around. My toolbox is covered in scorch marks from when I dropped one in and it cracked. Luckily not using the old fission ones, they're a mess to clean up
@@chrisrandall7381 scorch marks and burns are always better than radioactive fallout, pretty sure the liquidators can agree.
7:59 wow what a beautiful piece of art
Your descriptions of your journey is great. Love to show your notes and and diagrams to students. It is a great example of documenting your process. You don’t need fancy tools for documenting your ideas. Well done.

bro, i watch your videos all the time, and ordered this board like a few weeks ago without doing research, now that im looking it up i see your video! absolutely perfect man, thanks!
With 20V PD laptops getting more and more, PLEASE do a video about a DIY 45W/65W PD power bank. Commercial PD powerbanks for those (in my case a Thinkpad L390Y) are still rather expensive. And in my opinion this new capability of also charging laptops is the true advantage of USB Type C. Fast charge for phones is nice, but not needed. Having a power bank for your laptop is just a new, really useful class of mobile charging
I guess they are expensive because you need more cells and a BMS
I agree. Not sure why there are no DIY versions? Patents, proprietary laptops making a universal BMS impossible - no clue - anyone? Also wondering if laptop batteries are 10.6V why can't power banks with usb-c power delivery also be 10.6V or 3S2P battery packs, help?
There are now several available but none of them work beyond 60W. I have another coming in that I ordered last night but my experience has been that no buck boost IC can stay cool enough to handle more than 3A at 20V
@@ericklein5097 hey man, do you have a link to a 60w one? I’ve found a single “model” on aliexpress that claims 100W @ 20V5A, and has a bms built in, but in general there seems to be almost nothing above the QC3 12V1.5A modules.
Check this out. Although I would be carful and add batteries in parallel, because 100w draw will quickly burn down your house alongwith a fan maybe.

I remember that moment when there were less than 10k subs. Video quality has definitely improved and the content is extremely informative as always.
This man deserves 5 mln subs for sure!
Very smart decision GreatScott. That is an excellent board you found. I put together a simple 5 volt portable power bank using an attiny85, a 2S bms, buck converter all connected via a custom jlcpcb board. It was a lot of work. You are much smarter than me.
I was just looking for this type of pcb to make my own qc 2.0/3.0 power bank your video appear exactly at the good moment!! Thank you!👍👍👍👍Your the best!
Nice video as always ! I recommend to use recess in your 3d printed housing, so the parts will connect better with fitting into each other, then you will get the joinig surface smooth, and and also stronger.
Great decision on go the pre-built power building blocks.
Thanks for sharing 👍😁
Been watching your videos for a long time and you have come a long way. You should be proud of yourself!
Scott rocks when it comes to projects. Another great one!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Very good. Also, clear, concise narrative. A+!
This guy actually replied me on messager... really impressed...great as a person
did he said how much his tools are worth? A random nuclear power plant laying around...
The subliminal "STAY" on your T-shirt made me watch the whole video..... seriously though, this was a great video
Shutup and take my money lmao
@KeeganDitty of course, I knew that already. But just look at how intelligently he uses his visual space, subliminal and all. One bright cookie, methinks!!!
Hell yeah, finally something I could recreate :D
i was watching your videos on headphones and i MUST say, your microphone quality is pretty good!
Simplest of great scoot!
Jus’ loved it
Thank you for listing the parts I've been looking for a pcb like this for a project!!!!!!
i am watching your videos for years but this is the first time i am seeing for face. you have a nice smile.
Scott, Very nice to meet you, I can finally put a face to the voice, hope to see you in more videos! Fantastic find and great video!
Finally! I was asking for this like year or two ago!
According to the design, the connecters on the board is made with a little space in front of the plugs. It means that you could easily have some material in the front to hide the pcb screws and the pcb itself and still connect the plugs as they are supposed to.
My first time seeing you since following you years ago , nice to see great Scott
Another vid! Pleasure to watch you
I was so impressed with this powerbank bord I BoughtOne and build a power bank is it been using it for awhile now absolutely fantastic thanks for the recommendation and also very cheap from AliExpress
Hey Scott lots of love from India , you have a great voice . And also you have a very good knowledge of electronics
added bonus - that dang gorgeous calligraphy
I was legit just making this, ordered the PCB, and then saw this on my recommended-
Fantastic, dude! Thanks a lot!!! 😃
I'm going to build one, for sure! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice as always, well explained
Love it! I'd like to make a huge capacity(light weight) power bank for backpacking/frugal living/societal collapse scenario. Could charge with solar or small water turbine. Seems like a fun project now, later maybe not so much.
love your passion for electronics....
I learned a lot of new things from your chanel
Got one of this power bank PCB,working on my 30000Mah power bank from 26650 cells now ;) thank you for reviewing and testing this btw ;))
Always enjoyable to watch.
Happy to see the IC can meet the output current requirements. Will order one to upgrade a DIY power bank I have.
1 week ago?
Patreons get early release. Join the club
Edit: I’ll be upgrading mine too!
There are better capable circuit board available than this board power bank.
It's was lame job from him this time.
If you plan to build power bank consider at 45watts, or PD3.0 capable circuit, otherwise buy ready made
what an amazing video greetings from mexico💪🏻
Hey great scott. I love your channel and the diy or buy series. I would love to see an episode of diy or buy of a good quality amplifier that can power bookshelf or larger speakers.
This is a really cool project. I want to do the same thing with removable 18650 cells. I've always wanted a power bank with removable cells.
I am following you for a long time and i like your Electronic Basics series of videos which helped me a lot, try to make that kind of video and new electronics concepts.
Excellent project 👍
Love your videos!
Love your work and you brother
PCB costs over 8$ now. Maybe they rose up the price because they had seen your video.
Shipping cost look around can find for less
Yes
They are sold out on the link he provided and it is only been 2 months.
And for those of us that dont have a 3D Printer, DIY Powerbanks on Amazon worked for me!
USB Cable quality matters, when testing this can be important. And YAY we have the same USB Tester, wooo hooo!
You should do an Arnold Personation at the end "I'll be back." Great job on the video as always.
I was waiting for you to make this video haha
Very interesting video, thank you! Are you sure it can output 3.1 A @ 5 V? Because there is a visible voltage drop to 4 V in video, when applying load of 3.1 A.
Great video as always and i'm loving Fusion 360, so easy to use.
i really believe u deserve a lot more following
Great videos. I been watching your videos for a while and I also have a love for diy and electronics
Great!
@@greatscottlab Scott!
@@greatscottlab can you make a video for ultrasonic welding for mask ear loop welding. Help the world.
I have to say your salutes are becoming more and more SICKKKKKKKK.
This is so cool. If there is one thing every powerbank I think should have is an microsd or sdcard slot
This is much better than other channel who doesn't gave any disclaimer which ended up exploding like a bomb
Just wondering. Didn’t you attach „temperature meter“ to switch off charging procedure, when 18650 gets too hot?
I love your idea ❤️💕
I always push the like button before watching your videos.
now that PD 3.1 is out i really think you should build a USB C Ebike battery you can charge with USB C. No one seems interested in this but charging your phone your bike everything with one usb 3.1 charger is basically the dream. One cable to rule them all.
Finally!!he realised he makes everything complicated 🥵🥵
Nice, I would love to see a similar project with, 12V IN and 12V-24V regulated output (maybe USB as well) and several cell in Series (with a proper BMS and protections)
Also the Milwaukee m12 knockoff (and oem) heated jacket adapters have a module for 3s cells you might wanna check out
Your love with USB c is unbreakable.
@GreatScott
Really a nice small project.
A small power bank story.
I visited Fare East via Beijing and had one simple 1 cell power bank with including LED torch (from ebay) and a 3 cell powerbank made by FSP in my board case. At airport you have to put all electronic device out of the case for scanning. Because the nice 1 cell powerbank with torch had no label with voltage and energy information on it the security people take it away. I explained them that this small powerbank will only have 30% of the FSP and that there should be no risk. But there was no chance to get it back.
So if you fly (to Beijing) do not forget to put a label with voltage and Wh on it!
Otherwise security people will maybe confiscate it.
Nicely done
I LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!
To hear you spent 3 hours searching for the right IC makes me feel better about myself. I spend like 2-3 hours for just about each IC I use in a project. And I spend another 3 hours just to find the right passive components at times…
I love your projects. And i would love to see more DIY projects as simple as this one. I don't know coding so the harder projects are impossible for me to even try. Thank you, Love from Bangladesh
learn to code. start with arduino.
@@noweare1 I would love to but I don't get enough time bro. I'll start after I pass my college
I love your idea💕
Nice, I bought one of those boards with your affiliate link, keep up the good work!
Nice video, and great explanation as always! Keep up the good work!
PS: finally you hide those screws into the housing! Its much more polished looking :)

I am a new subscriber to your channel here on TH-cam .. Your work is very great .. Keep your creativity 👍👌
Cool Project - Haven't heard of that Chip and I think I'll add it to my Outboard-Motor powered USB Charger. :)
good explanations.. thank you:))
Amazing video🙆
Thanks a lot, great video
Thank you for your videos you are the reason why i started wit arduino
Hilarious 😆! 👍 Thumbs up and subscribed!
Ah so sieht Du aus, liebe deine videos...👍🏼
Hey, thanks for the info about that PCB, was exactly what I was looking for! But the next step: adding an integrated solar panel?? Show us the way master! 👍
Great as the name suggests
Good job!
Great one !
Quadratisch, praktisch, gut
Hey scott good!!!!
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Great video! Thanks, I was looking for the same panel for my project. I would like to use a solar panel to charge my batteries and power a RPi 3. Would you think it is possible? Or which parts should I order?
You should make a USB C PD e-bike. That would be so cool!
Awesome voice" see u nxt time" 😊
Thanks for the video. Have you you ever looked into USB C with pass through charging? I’m looking for a solution where I can use wall power but still have battery backup in case the power is killed. Maybe pass through charging isn’t the right solution for that. Thoughts?
thats amezing bro
ich liebe Ihre videos!
Love your videos, I have a question about a car jump start power bank that can also charge electronics, have you done a video on this?
Perfect project for those 20 18650 cells I salvaged from a hoverboard.
This is awesome
Hey ur vids are cool
you convinced me into trying to build one and parts are still available on ali. just one question: the cell holders/spacers, did you get those from ali as well? would love to see a link for those as I'm in Eastern Europe and don't want to get into size issues when I put it all inside the printed case. thank you
Nice build. One question. Don't you normally compare the final price to one that you can purchase already done?
it would be great a video of scott comparing usb-c pd and nintendo switch charging metods.
i've seen a lot of videos of the topic but they don't usually know about electronics
