If you use batts with built-in protection, then not an issue. I picked up a few to convert a LED lantern from 3AA's to lithium. It worked well. Note, there is a trace from the 4R7 inductor that runs along the edge of the board, If you cut that you can add an external switch. That powers off the boost circuit. The latern I had had apower switch so I added it there so there is no current draw when off but you can still charge the batt.

Wow, cool info. I did not look at preventing the current draw but that will definitely come handy some time. Thanks!

The voltage disturbance seen when the screwdriver is in contact with the trimpot is unlikely related to capacitance as the feedback divider is relatively low impedance. What you're seeing is likely erratic contact between potentiometer slider and resistive element when screwdriver pressure is applied. The failure mode for those $0.01 SMD trimpots is slider lifts off the resistive element so hopefully the pot is the grounded resistor in the feedback divider where this failure will drop the regulator output to minimum vs. let it fly to its maximum, potentially damaging whatever is connected to its output.

Yes, that is probably what's happening. I did not reverse engineered the circuit to know if it is grounded or not but let's hope it is 🤞

@@TasteTheCode What if you just stopped shoving down on it with an oversized, heavy screwdriver? There is such a thing as the right tool for the job and your screwdriver just isn't that. Try a regular flat blade jeweler's screwdriver, which requires practically zero downward force unlike a big phillips.

Sticking a a big lump of metal very near a high impedance, fast switching circuit is bound to cause problems! That is why trim pot screwdrivers are made of plastic!

The problem with this board (and a two board solution such as TP4056 + boost board) is that the maximum current it will deliver is 1Amp (shared between battery and external load). If the battery is getting almost flat and you run with a high load (over 500mA say), it will discharge the battery because the load will start drawing from the low voltage battery and then the battery will go flat until underprotect kicks in. e.g. We have a project+AC01+protected LiPo. If the LiPo is flat or nearly flat, and we then connect 5V Power AC adaptor - the project load will fully discharge the battery. If however, the LiPo is well charged when we connect the 5V PSU, the battery will slowly fully charge. Even if the battery is fully charged, the charger will not stop while the load is still on. This will keep a constant 4.2V on the battery. The solution is to wire up either two schotty diodes or a MOSFET+diode. See kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abConMeBsbHSoYU.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip1goKV5yq-zinU.html.

OK, that is an interesting case. In my applications, the load is usually very small.

You are misusing it. This is not meant to be a power supply for the device, just a charging and protection circuit for a charged battery to power the device. There is no problem with the board, rather it is what it is designed to be, not magically whatever you wish it was instead. However your argument is in error either way. If you are giving it a 1A (USB?) 5V input, and the load is taking 1A or less, you are not discharging the battery at all. IIRC, someone even covered this in a video, maybe it was Big Clive? Yes I think it might have been and he even pointed out the reason for misunderstandings such as the one you mentioned, something about not realizing that it charges at a lower rate till the battery gets up to (3.0V?) some voltage.

You can buy lithium-ion batteries with built-in protection, or add a small in-line protection module module to an unprotected 18650 for example. You just have to make sure that your battery holder can accommodate the sometimes slightly longer battery. I would have liked to have seen how the output of the module varies with load, perhaps up to about 1A at 5V. Also it would be good to see what noise is present on the output. That kind of information is usually crucial to whether a module is suitable for a particular application.

Great information the protection is needed.I have purchased one of these boards and added a protection board to the single 18650 cell.It is one that attaches to the + and negative and the feed out is taken from the centre of the board and soldered to the module you use.This adds shorting out protection and over discharge protection so it looks really good.There are modules that do both jobs but the Voltage output is not variable it's set to either 5v 6v 7.5v 9v 19v 12v but as I require 9v to power a radio it should do the job? Thanks agian for great upload.Perhaps there is a module like you demonstrate with protection?Does anyone Know it?

I'm not understanding why you are disappointed with the module. It appears to be functioning within specs. Your complaints: 1) Doesn't have a lot of current draw..... DUH.. you're converting current to voltage in a boost circuit from a single cell. Also.. Nowhere in the datasheet for the SDB628 IC does it say there is a maximum current. The only listed current information is it's quiescent (standby) current dissipation which is 200uA - 2.2mA. however, you're max current on that board is going be around 1A as the design of it is limited. That being said, i sure hope you not expecting to jump-start a vehicle using this tiny little boost circuit anyway, so if needing more than a an amp is a concern for you, than of coarse a little $1 charge/boost module isn't going to cut it. 2) When i bridge contacts in a metal-on-metal SMD Pot using a metal screw driver, things short out............... yep.. every time my guy.. 3) If you know your module doesn't have battery protection, then ensure your battery has battery protection. This is kind of a no-brainer. It's nothing to puck up a small DW01 based module for 18650's. (shocker i know) After watching the video... it seems to me you are having buyers remorse, because you didn't understand the product you bought. It's clear to see just by looking at the module there is no battery protection. If you didn't notice this, it's YOUR FAULT. It's OBVIOUS that you're not going to get more current than a few amps, just by the size of the device, and it's purpose for use. It's designed for small electronic projects, not running a microwave oven off of an 18650. Sorry my guy, but every complaint you have about this device is your own fault. It's like buying a volvo for $5, and complaining you didn't get a lambourghini

@stinkycheese8043 ай бұрын
While your argument is fair, some of us feel that such a board shouldn't exist except as some obscure counterpart, that the design should have a DW01 (or other protection IC) on it and not need that added with a separate board. What's the point of cramming what they did onto a board that's so small, that they couldn't even manage to fit mounting holes on it, and STILL need to add another PCB just to do the function almost everyone is going to NEED, even if they don't realize they do. However, on the topic of size, TP4056 itself is a bit ridiculous. Even if the module is only $1 each or rises to that (knowing they are cheaper in bulk), the cost to integrate a larger transistor in it would be what, two cents? It wouldn't even need a larger PCB sink area in instances where it doesn't need to go past 1A, maybe a slight layout shift for a few sq millimeters. I state this, having noticed the obvious, that being a linear regulator, they do get pretty hot for no *good* reason. This also means that along with no mounting holes, I can't do what all the kids on youtube are doing which is fasten it all together with HOT GLUE, lol.
