DIY: Lithium 18650 Cells Charger By Using TP4056 Modules

This time I'll make a charger, which could charge 5 pcs of lithium ion 18650 cells at a time. Parts for this build cost only 5$ at ebay: 18650 battery holders and TP4056 charging modules.
In video, I forgot to mention about power supply current. In my case - to power up 5pcs of TP4056, it's need a power supply witch could give minimum 5 amps of current.

Julian Ilett video about charging 18650 with TP4056:

Thank you very much for not having loud music in the background... :)

That's some slick soldering you did there, nice job.

Thank you for the idea. I'm ordering the parts. I have the 12 battery holders, 12 TP4056 charging modules with protection, and I ordered a 5 VDC 20 Amp power supply. Thank you, Great project and excellent craftsmanship.

Not long ago I started playing with Li-Ion batteries from Dell packs just like the one you disassembled here. Most people don't know that a laptop battery pack can be "dead" when only one or two cells in it are "dead". I like your methodology of verifying and sorting the cells by remaining capacity and will get myself one of those charger/discharger devices. Thanks.

simple clean build, you put most of those Ive seen to shame, I especially like how you started soldering little bits of wire for the positive then realised how much quicker it would be to strip the wire a bit more and crimp it to make it stick out and just solder that, I like your style :)

[DarkMuhahaha]

Be careful when using an ATX power supply like that. It is recommended to put some load on the 12V rail, if you don't, depending on the quality of the power supply, the following things may happen:
- the 5V rail is very unstable
- the 5V rail doesn't work at all
- the power supply breaks after some usage.

That was a really WELL DONE TIP! - No annoying music and well explained. Thank you very much!

Cracking vid, and very neat. like the link to Julians video which he explains very well. Just doing some math for people it maybe worth to do this you need at least a 5amp supply or higher (1amp per cell) for any newbeies. You get a thumbs up from me.

Awesome skills there with the clip holding that wire while soldering. Plus that amazing wire-stripper. Wow. I just now saw how he stripped back the wire like 1/4", and then folded the wire in the middle of the stripped part, twisted it to make a tiny wire going to the connector. Forget the project. This video is about electronics skills. This guy's got em. Subscribed.

Super bien merci pour l'information et le Tuto je ne connaissais pas ce module tout fait. continuez à faire ce genre de vidéo vous contribuez à une éducation très utile pour tous à très vitre pour une nouvelle vidéo instructive.

Super good thank you for the information and the Tuto I did not know this module of charge. Continue to make this kind of video you are contributing to a very useful education for all to very glass for a new instructive video.

This was exactly what I was looking for. I spent hours trying to make sure I got it right. Thank you.

[aaronb]

Great video editing. You sped it up when necessary. Thanks for not wasting my time like so many other youtube channels.

[kevcarp]

Very neat and tidy charger on a budget :)

[CrazyCoupleDIY]

Thanks a lot mate, I have just made one

[ozgemmo]

Very cleaver - really well done mate! Cheers from DownUnder

[karimismail]

Very clever idea and the price is right as well. Thank you Sir.

[Robert.K]

Nice. I went straight on eBay and bought everything needed. :)

[johnnyjimj]

Beautiful workmanship, a pleasure to watch :-)

[hyperhektor]

add 5x "usb-doctor" module (3$ each) then you have a display which shows charged capacity + charging time + charging current. i did the same, by the way TP4056 is an awesome chip and costs with pcb only 35-50 cents

[ponkuna]

Nice and easy work. I want to do that. I purchased 10 x TP4056 madules from aliexpress and they were taking 1-2 hours at the begining and now even after 12 hours they are not completing charging.When I put those batteries to my smart charger i see they wer 80-90% only charged after that long time. Can you give me the link where you purchased your TP4056 Charger Module and please give a clear picture of the board for me to identify correct before ordering. Thx.
