i've been collecting these for about a year now., i have bout 100 batteries. i have lots of 550mAh, A ton of 650mAh and loads of 1500 mAh, i've made my own 18v battery using 3x1500mAh making 4500mAh per cell. then x5, i use it on my old 80s boombox, it takes 10 dcell batteries, but i checked the voltage from the transformer to the main board and it read 20v, so 18v doesn't harm it, for charging the batteries i did use a laptop charger and it worked but i've since realised it can harm the cells so i've linked 5 usb boards to each cell to be safe and to make sure they live a happy prolonged life :-) i hate that people are throwing them away, i know i've collected a lot, but that must be tiny fraction of the ones that are not saved.

@GrandadsOtherChannel Год назад

It is hard to walk past them, when they are laying in the street, especially when you can equate them to £1 coins 😁🥇🪙I probably have more than I will ever use, and I still pick them up when I see them, although I do ignore the ones that have been squashed flat 🤣

Pray to god you used a bms or 💣🎇🔥. But I wished I found them. I never seem to find any

@80s_kid. Год назад

@@thatyoutubeguy7583 The Little Charger Boards i use are TP4056, they are kind of like a BMS-ish, i mean when they get low i just plug the usb cable in, a red led lights up, and when they are charged it changes to blue, and as for actually using them raw without a BMS, its not that bad, they don't get hot while in use because the boombox isn't very greedy, batteries will mainly get hot when they are driven hard, if they were used with something like a drill, that might get them toasty, but my boombox was made in around 1983, the batteries that were out then were very low mAh, so these home made ones run it easily. as for finding them, i don't see them anymore, i see maybe 1 a fortnight, i think supermarkets and shops have started placing bins there for people to dispose of them properly.

My boombox uses 12V (actually has a D cell battery compartment) and I just made 3S battery with ballancing BMS ... For charging, I actually use the rectified voltage from the transformer built inside the boombox.. ..works like a charm for 5 years already .

it's sad people are chucking those out right on the street. Any place that sells them should have signs and collection points for the old ones, they'd still just chuck it out tho lol.

@GrandadsOtherChannel Год назад

Yes, there certainly are plenty of empty packages, although I did go out one day specifically to collect some packages because I wanted to check the information they contained and typically on that day, I struggled to find any. I ended up with only a couple of packs after a good walk. Vape Hunter 20230129 not all litter are vapes!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oqij-7UWfTM.html

@tikaanipippin 2 месяца назад

Over-discharged cells with less than 2 volts will often not take current from a charging module, since the charger detects that no current is being taken, so they shut down, and go into standby. However, in parallel with a healthy charging cell, they often start to polarize and then take a current and will charge fully.

@GrandadsOtherChannel 2 месяца назад

I just tell the charger that the cell is a NiMh or even Lead, and trickle charge them until they are over the threshold.

@MickeyMishra Год назад

I was picking up trash today, and found one of these Vape pens in my yard. ONLY time I was HAPPY to pick up after people.

@MrBobWareham 6 месяцев назад

Put a diode in line with the output from your pack to drop the voltage, 1n4001 and add a 1k pot from r3 to ground to adjust the charge.

@docink6175 2 года назад

they are free batteries so any use is a plus.. maybe set up a small solar and or wind charging unit and use them like power banks for lights and such.. the led light Im using right now is running on a 10000mah power bank I charge in BB.. the fan I used the other night was also on a power bank I charged off my large power bank which was charged using solar

@GrandadsOtherChannel 2 года назад

Yes, you would need to parallel them up to get a reasonable capacity, but it could be done, as you say, they are free, so I could put dozens of them together 😆

Hello, have you had in hand these new electronic cigarettes large capacity (Puff Tornado RandM 9000 puffs of 18ml for example), they have a system of LEDs RGB more imposing and I have the impression that there is a micro controller for lighting LEDs RGB and I would like to know if according to you it is possible to reprogram these LEDs with Arduino software, what do you think and how to do to reprogram them according to you?

Can tp4056 charge 2pcs battery its safe

@GrandadsOtherChannel 8 месяцев назад

I would suggest you read the specs for the tp4506 board, then work it out.

@AliAhmed-ls2uo 8 месяцев назад

@@GrandadsOtherChannel thank you 😊

@GrandadsOtherChannel 8 месяцев назад

The trouble with asking for advice from "a guy on RU-vid" is you never know if they are right or wrong. And the problem with answering people's queries is I never know what level of understanding you have. For example, do you intend to put the "2pcs" in series or parallel? What is their current rating? What type of batteries are they? How do you intend to power the circuit? That is why I suggest it is better to read the specification. The TP4056 is just the chip, so the specification will vary depending on what circuit board the chip is fitted to. Some boards include overcharge protection and over-discharge protection. Most boards default to a 1A charge rate. Some boards require a resistor to be changed to match the charging current required. Some boards have adjustable potentiometers. The list goes on 😁@@AliAhmed-ls2uo

@kaiobtc5584 Год назад

It is better to charge each cell individually before connecting them in paralel. Your charger is not able too see voltage in each cell.

@GrandadsOtherChannel Год назад

You are right, but can you measure the difference? As you can see, this works fine. If you were planning to use them in series rather than parallel, then you really do need to include balance leads for the individual cells. In parallel, they balance themselves. When we are just looking at small capacity cells like this all nominally the same value, we are not talking large currents, but if you are interested in charging much larger packs in parallel, you might like to read this article oscarliang.com/parallel-charging-multiple-lipo/

This batteries are very good. They are Free, curent îs good and The batery ca-n be keep very long without danger to loose capacity if IT îs not used. AT maximum charge IT has 4.2 V. The problem îs that you must not discharge under 3.0 V. The vapes have a smd LED în The black plastic part which ca-n be re used.

Yes, it would be good to make use of the other components. One suggestion was to use the heater element and vapouriser for a model train steam or model car exhaust. I do remember seeing a video on the car exhaust idea. Bigclivedotcom looked at the electronics with his usual reverse engineer detail.

@@GrandadsOtherChannel Instead of them being parallel.

@GrandadsOtherChannel Год назад

@Alberto Speed normal electronics applies. Batteries in parallel the capacity is added, voltage divides. Batteries in series, capacity divides, voltage adds. So two 4v 500mAh Batteries in parallel gives 4v 1000mAh. Two 4v 500mAh batteries in series give 8v 500mAh.

@blakey271able Год назад

Parallel charging is fine but the batteries voltage should be within 1/10th oa a volt before you connect them together so say between 3 4v - 3.5v ect because the lowest battery will drain power from the highest battery after they've been connected together you should be fine charging and discharging

@@GrandadsOtherChannel I meant no disrespect it is awesome to see people putting these things to use as I do finding so many on the street. I fly rc Drones and planes and do build a few battery packs I mainly meant my comment for any newbies trying the same and Oscar liang does make the same statement regarding voltage matching but yes of course with these little 500mah batteries it would most likely be OK but if one was drastically lower then the others you could at the very least damage the pack you are trying to make. So for anyone trying this I do believe a healthy lithium battery voltage is between 3v and 4.2v and I personally would discard a 2v battery as tested using a multimeter. Once again I apologise I enjoyed the video and am currently building a pack for a 5v led strip in the wardrobe I even have those same charging modules. Great video and I genuinely mean no disrespect
