It’s pretty neat isn’t it? Cheers Julian.

As you can tell I was pretty impressed! May have got a little over excited. How much power does the switch pull? I presume it does use PD?

Joining the question

@@DynaZor yes you can if you hold it down at the current setting it'll remember that mode

@@JoseMariArceta Thanks!

Sorry. I used my lead acid battery bank for the supply - 12v 136Ah.

Possibly you are right. I was definitely seeing some voltage drop and the 1m usb cable is possibly the most obvious candidate. Half a volt at 3 amps isn’t too bad though - could be a lot worse!

Yeah, you're right, it's not too bad, but at 5V it's already enough that most devices will cut back on the current to keep the voltage above the 4.75V specified by the USB standard.

@@blubbspinat9363 cable or charger

Good question. I’ll investigate.

I am shocked at how a communist country demolished the Imperialists at their own game! China was a shithole 40-50 years ago. It was considered to be yet another 3rd world country. Now, go to Shanghai, Beijing or any other large city, and its as modern as it gets and has more Millionaires than America. While America is in a free-fall in every imaginable way, including politics. Maybe democracy isn't that great, when citizens are uneducated and stupid!? Buying cheap from China, will drive us to poverty.

Glad you liked it. Cheers MrBrymstond

PirateKitty + They didn't do that on their own. There's a thing called NAFTA. The Clintons sold us out and gave all sort of information and businesses away to them as our country went down by the billions of dollars each day

> If you set it to load 24W with 12V charger/powerbank then yes theoretically you should get 2A, but you will get some voltage drop across cables/connections, In fact, it looks like most of the tests here are consistent with a USB cable resistance of about 200mOhm. The voltage read by the electronic load fell by about 0.2V per amp of current draw.

The goal was to test the USBC PD module not the chargers/powerbanks.

charger's limitation, not the board

If you want something to do that - I’d look at using the car adapter I used in the video. If the size and shape is a problem you could always remove the circuit board from the device its self.

No I think most starter motors will need an awful lot more current.

Do you imagine there will be much difference? There is clearly a buck boost converter in there.

@@AdamWelchUK the alternator on my pickup puts out 14.4v and 136 amps. I think it would be interesting to see if that made a difference in the results.

Yeah, the lower voltage from his 12v battery would def be making life a bit harder for it. Giving it a 14v supply *might* get it up to its specs (not likely, but maybe a bit closer).

Yeah I made a similar comment. The lower voltage would make even a buck boost converter struggle more, especially if the current protection regulation is blind to the input voltage(likely)

The goal was to test the usbc PD module, not the charger.

I imagine it’d work reasonably well. Oddly better than the TS80 - which despite being USB-C actually uses Qualcomm quick charge not power delivery!

@@AdamWelchUK QC2.0 12V-1.2A is enough to turn on TS100 but it could be possible adapt PD2.0 20V USB-C To jack barrel with a cable. Also TS80P uses PD not only QC3.0

Messian Hello. Yeah, check out @Brian Lough for a neat solution to the ts100 issue. He’s developing a PD to barrel jack solution (although I think there are some solutions already on the market) Is the ts80p a newer model?

​@@AdamWelchUK TS80P a new model that accepts PD and Q.C3. On Aliexpress the are many cables with capacity to release 20v o 15v from PD source. In other hand if we want take power from Quick Charge, there are modules that forces change voltage 5v to 12v or you can make your own module using resistors and diodes. I think It's possible turn on TS100 with both technologies.

That's exactly what he shows at 8:40.

Did you figure out a solution for this? Looking for something similar myself

@@simmelj 8:40

@@alexisfrjp Yeah. I saw your comment. Was just curious if he had figured out a "complete" solution. I'm also way out of my comfort zone with this stuff. But are you saying I could basically just hook this up to a 12.8v battery (with a fuse ofc) and it'll charge my laptop if I connect a USB-C cable between the two?

@@simmelj 1. You don't say what is your 12v battery. A CAR battery? 2. You don't say if your laptop has a PD usb C port (Macbook, Thinkpad X1 T480/s, Dell XPS...) What you're looking for is a simple USBC PD charger. Since you want to use a 12v car battery, search "car charger usbc" and you'll find a lot. Take the 65w to be sure it'll be compatible with everything. USBC needs to communicate to enable higher voltage (>5V), that's why the small board presented in the video is useful. It communicates with the charger to provide a simple power supply. 12v -> charger -> cable -> board -> simple power supply The "reverse", is simply a charger and you don't need anything special since your laptop has already an internal board communicating with the charger. 12v -> charger -> cable -> laptop

Yeah, you really should ;-)

@@AdamWelchUK I have 👍

No I don’t believe so.

See his comments above

if you mean the video description, in the ebay links there's no sign of the green item... if you mean other comments, i checked them all and again, no references to it...

Sorry it seems the few sellers have run out of stock. Hopefully that link (which searches for the right key words) will find a listing again soon.

If you search AliExpress for ‘pd trigger’ there are a few similar modules but not the exact same one I’m afraid.

@@AdamWelchUK called "ZY12PDN"

Cheers.

I don’t think so, but I’ll check.

They can, you need to hold down the button to program those modes. Check the other you-tube videos.

I think I mentioned that the usb-c plug is reversible didn’t I?

@@AdamWelchUK not sure

@@alexandreesquenet3736 usb C yes, the output of the board, no.

Yes twelve volts in, twenty volts out. It bucks and boosts depending on the mode.

This ones just PD. The red ones I showed briefly were QC.

@@AdamWelchUK thanks a lot. Have a happy Halloween week...

It's USB PPS (USB Programmable Power Supply) which some trigger boards don't support. Regular PD trigger boards will automatically choose the next lower voltage. So if you have a 12V PD trigger board and you have a USB PPS power supply, the output of the trigger board will be 9V.

Can u help me with the project I m a bit confused and I don’t no much about this and I have batteries I want to make use of them u can WhatsApp me +917020064054

It would be great help

Yeah the module requests a nine volt charge and the power bank delivers it if possible. So if you use a power delivery compatible device it’ll request what it thinks is the best voltage to make the quickest charge.

@@AdamWelchUK Thanks Adam, love your videos man.

Cheers Joey.

Thanks. That is probably a good suggestion. Perhaps now I’m married I should take a step away from living on the edge!

It's programmable, you long-press the button to save it.

It saves the last one before cut off

Sorry no. How have you been contacting me?

USB-C connectors are fitted to mobiles which are being recharged daily - I guess time will tell but I know they’ve been around a year or two now.

@@AdamWelchUK My Galaxy S8 has a bit more of a year of life now. I charge it pretty much daily and is in healthy conditions.

Even if it wasn't very robust, just about any other connector beats the old micro usb standard, I've had cheap cables last as little as one or two months before they just slide out, only the good cables ever last more than a year, but an inexpensive and not particularly great USB-C cable I got from the store has held up almost as good as new out of the box after more than six months of charging my phone daily with it, so yeah I'd say it's definitely more robust from my experience using both anyway.

My phone, tablet, vape device and camera batteries are all charged via the USB-C lead that has been plugged into an inaccessible wall socket since I got my first phone with that connection. Now on my third or fourth phone, so probably 5 years and never a problem with connections.

Well, the comments are positive for USB C which is good to know. I've found that the curse of the lightning connector is that that one of the tiny tabs on the the cable goes black and fails relatively quickly when charging my iPad at 2amps.

Hello.

The usbc pd board doesn't contain any MOS for switching, the power is directly connected. We can go at full power.

Wouldn't you just need a car adapter for that. Most of them are rated up to 24v to cater for coaches and lorrys
