Ultimate Mobile Soldering Setup?! (Omnicharge + TS100) 

Pretty cool thinking & now I'm gonna copy & use on the road when "need" to solder electronic components on the fly for laptop, networking, etc repairs. Thanks so much! Now don't have to bring item back to workshop,mor lug my soldering workstation to the place I'm at, if doing onsite call! Awesome‼️

$250 power supply for a soldering iron....yeah, hard pass on that. I recommend re-purposing LION bat pack for Makita/Dewalt/(insert portable tool of choice) with a mated usb or DC 12v adapter. That way you can use the battery pack for ALL your tools, including your iron.

The Omnicharge has been one of my best Kickstarter perks of all time (and I have backed over 140 Kickstarter projects). It is incredibly versatile and very useful in and out of the shop since it can power most anything reliably and safely.

How sad, that i have found your channel just now! Really cool CHannel und Super High quality VIdeos! Instantly subbed

I have an Omnichage, I fucking love it to death, worth every penny, and I have just ordered this iron. I thought I was gonna be the first with this setup, to be honest... it's a match made in heaven for portable soldering.

hi! i still didnt understand whats the connector tip for? Omnicharge said we should choose a connector tip for our laptop type (hp/dell/etc), yet, it seems like this connector doesn't help connect my HP laptop to the Omnicharge. The wiring doest make sense. Did you manage to understand it? Also, theres another weird cable added (USB charging cable) which in one end has the same connector tip (which fits the rounded barrel input of the Omnicharge), And on the other end its a male-USB. Is it for charging the Omnicharge itself?

A little pricey, but good mobile solution for a very nice TS-100. I've used the soldering iron for a while now, but been looking for mobile options.. Thanks!

Hey man, thank you for the video, could you please send me the link where i can get the connecting cable? the one you named Lenovo. i can't find it.

Perfect and modern setup

Can someone point me to the right unit to power the TS100 with a cable. The amazon link above is confusing with the comments below. Thank you!!

Yes, the Omnicharge is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I treated myself to one and I absolutely love it. Incredibly versatile and comes in handy all the time.

It's cool to watch the wattage will go up when you heat the solder. It'll actually go up to 60W on 24V

Nice Iron. But a nice tip: don't wipe off the solder when you are done! Always keep solder on the tip. Only wipe it just before use. That's how you can keep a soldering tip in perfect shape for many years :)

I guess it wasn't available when this video was uploaded but these days you can buy the TS80 USB-C soldering iron and a 20$ Quickcharge 3 powerbank. Similar performance, smaller footprint, way cheaper. You could also have powered the TS100 with a cheap Li-Po or some 18V battery from a power tool. No need for a 289€ (really!!?) power bank.

Beautiful work surface, is that the IKEA PROPPMÄTT bamboo chopping board?

Welke Mic staat er nou op de Desk??? Good Sound!!

thats what i need for my car audio setup. so i can solder wire together in different vehicles.

i have three questions Will the OmniCharge 20 work for the Mobil studio pro 16 or no? and if he does not should I buy a new set of universal AC adapter tips to fit the Mobil studio pro 16? and what kind of adapter i should buy ?

Isn't a mobile soldering station just using a lipo... for like 20 bucks total? Maybe 30 total if you get a balance charger? Thats what I do...

$199 power supply? Seriously? Argh.....

I’m looking for a kit that does this, but with a power cord long enough to move around. Sadly, these are not available in usable form, and you have to know serial numbers or something to get a plug that fits. I’ve been reading reviews and people have tons of plugs that look right but don’t work. You need a soldering iron to make this soldering iron into something you can use. Very cool, but not for the plug and play hobbyist like me.

You can go to good will and buy a discarded power supply for a lap top that will run your ts 100 cheap!!! Look for 20 to 22 volts. You can look for 24 volts but those lap top units are usually 22 or so.

A 15 buck lipo & a 2 buck xt60 to barrel connector would do the trick...

Actually an omnicharge is not necessary. Get 2 laptop batteries which I can easily find for 15$. Build a 4s3p battery pack and add a balance charging BMS. There you go. Under $50, you can get roughly 100Wh capacity, which can heat up the soldering iron for 4 hours of continious heating, which the iron cuts the heat when the set tempreture reached.

How long does it take to charge the Power Bank ?

Hello Do uou think the Omnicharge 20 USB-C could do the job ?

I love my omnicharge

Cooooooool!!!!!!

£318 in the uk for the power supply, TS100 costs £53. they look pretty together and the power bank has some great specs but i think it's a little extreme. I'd rather use a large lipo with an adapter and controller. for maybe £60/£70 total.

Omnicharge is REALLY expensive. Anker Powerhouse has the 6 times capacity and only the double price. It does not have an adjustable DC output, but you can easily use a step up converter or a laptop adapter to the AC output.

The HVDC setting I do not believe is related to the DC output. I think it changes the waveform of the AC output to high voltage DC. Presumably it might be more efficient for devices which can use it (switch mode power supplies?) but could be damaging to other AC devices you might connect - be careful.

The battery is so expensive :(

LOOOOOL when your power bank costs more than some cell phones

its nice.

So the trick here is to combine a 60$ iron with a 300$ power bank. 😅. OMG I've cried when I've spoted the price.

You probably know but now the ts80 is out and a great alternative i have a ts100 but am thinking about getting an 80 also

Please how can i get this Ominichager i am in Africa Nigeria

Off topic, but this is the first I've ever seen anyone using a Neat mic. Other than this I've only seen them on the Trailer Park Boys podcast but they weren't actually using them. How do you like it?

Is this tool from aliexpress?!?

If you need portable soldering you know they make butane irons right?

Your comment about being European threw me, until I realized you have much better pronunciation than many of us do. Excellent accent though. I don't believe a casual listener would pick it up at all.

Well..... forget the Omnicharge and get a 4s or 6s Lipo for a fraction of the Price...

20,000mah 5s lipo for 1/3 price and lasts much longer as it's 5 cells each containing 20,000mah each vs a single 20,000mah cell with an upscaler.

Much brightness, I can't see anything man...

Much better option for a battery pack then that overpriced $199 brick your using. Plus cable way to short and not silicone to be useable, as would be too much of a pain in the ass to be useable and easy to melt cable when it gets in the way and not heat resistant material like silicone.

Never trust anyone demonstrating electronics and tech stuff on a chopping board :)

The age of when your farkin' soldering iron has a USB port, The age we live in... Next thing you'll be telling me is that screwdrivers have them... Oh. Wait, www.banggood.com/MINI-ES120-Mini-Motion-Control-Electric-Screwdriver-Smart-Repair-Tools-Built-in-STM32-Chip-p-1160943.html

if you are into being ripped off, well this may be a way to go, but you can also buy a 4cell LiPo for 20 USD/EUR and call it a day.. not to mention that the brick shaped battery takes up 2 cells in my mini toolbox together with TS100 and all stuff for soldering. Thats what I call mobile :).

Direct DC, eh? Interesting.

ikea

bruh

Jesus...

Why do you keep saying 'Direct DC'? You can either day direct current, or DC, you don't combine them to say 'Direct Direct Current', it makes no sense...

Despite being less than intellectually privileged, you managed to find a decent combination of electronics. Please try to be safe and remember to put a resistor to the anode of your LEDs (that's the long side) so that you don't burn the out after a few milliseconds. Watch a video on setting up LEDs if you need to. Might I suggest Great Scott's channel or EEVblog or even ElectroBOOM... they all have great EE (electrical engineering) educational channels, and I'm sure they all cover how to set up simple LED circuits. And remember a soldering iron can burn you and your things, and can even catch carpet, drapes, sofas, etc on fire. Always double check your soldering station. Also be mindful that, that pinches style iron doesn't have very big finger guards so be carful not to let your finger slip off the grip and touch the heat dissipation sheath as this will likely cause you to drop the iron after being burned, risking fire via falling on things like carpet and drapes etc. Sorry to imply that I feel the need to think for you, but the way you conduct yourself in your video truly leads me to this belief, so it is only out of concern that I say these things. I believe in natural selection, but not at the risk of bystanders.
