    Nice video. I’ve just changed one of mines to lower the max current to 0,4A (3k Resistor) and I’ve succeded. FYI I’ve used a 0603 and no problems. 👍

    All the people asking "what resistor do I need" just do R = 1200/mah and you'll get what you need in K ohm
    aka
    R=1200/300mah meaning R = 3k ohm.
    R=1200/100mah then R = 12k ohm
    R=1200/240mah then R = 5k ohm
    So on and so fourth.
    As a side note, the mah charge rate is not the mah capacity rating of the battery. You need to look at the spec sheet of the battery for suggested charge rate for your specific battery(ies) to get the charge rate mah. A 1700mah capacity battery is not a 1700mah charge rate.

    Thanks. I've been buying boards like these or similar for years, and each time forget WHICH resistor to change. And of course none of the "bargain" sellers remind anyone. Most of them come with USB-C connectors now, but the parts layout looks identical, so hopefully its still always R3. I usually set them for 500mA instead of 1A anyway, because at 1A they do tend to get a bit hot. Especially if the cell being charged has run down to the protection level of about 2.5 V, 1A would mean the board is dissipating 2.5W right?

    Thanx for this nice video especially for the microscope view!
    I just changed the R3 resistor but use a standard resistor, thats what I had around. It works fine.
    IMPORTANT DETAIL: when you chose a resistor superior to 10K (because 10k is the max value in TP4056 datasheet), it messes with the led of "charged completed" !! so according to what/how the led is blinking, you should try to understand when the charging of your battery is done.

    • @RexxSchneider
      @RexxSchneider Před 2 lety +1

      In reality, batteries like the 18650 don't suffer any irreversible damage even at around 2.5V. If you connect a voltmeter across the battery and discharge it until the protection kicks in, you'll see that the battery voltage rebounds to around 2.8V or more without any charging. It's probably a good idea to then recharge them sooner rather than later, but the chemistry is much more forgiving of over-discharge than it is of over-charging.

    • @DustyClam-vx5fb
      @DustyClam-vx5fb Před rokem

      not sure if you need it still but, the formula is Ibat = (Vprog/Rprog) x 1200 where Vprog is 1 (for 1V). Since you need Ibat to be 200mah, This would be written as "200 = (1/Rprog) x 1200" Simplifying it to Rprog = 1200/200. You'd need a 6k resistor.
      That goes for any of these calculations. Rprog = 1200/mah to get your resister value in k ohm.

      Explanation: lets say you want to charge your battery to 3,8V, so you need a Schottky diode of forward voltage of 0,4v.

      Hi, thanks for the comment. You should lower the charging current, 1A is too high for your battery. I would charge it at 30% of the total capacity so use a 4K resistor to lower the charging current to 300mA.

      Dear MR /@@rlopezxl Thank you very much.You advise me to use 4K resistor.my Q is if i change the resistor to 4K then can i use 5V 1A mobil charger ??
      do you have any idea from where to buy those littel resistors 4K or i should use normal 4K R with colore line .Once again Thanks and God bless you The earth thanks the clouds when the rain comes!!

      @@biancad6289 Yes a 5V 1A mobile charger is fine. You can buy SMD resistors online on eBay or Amazon, you can use a 1/4 watt resistor (the ones with the colored lines) just cut the leads short so it will be easier to solder.

      Dear MR /@@rlopezxl Thank you very much..really you helped me i was struggle in the time i bought 20 of those battery last year after that i look every where on how to charge them even here in youtobe some they dont give proper help .and you solve it for me..sorry one last Q if you dont mind 1/4 watt how to describe it 1/4 watt means 33 Ohm or 3K and the smd resistor in ebay i just type smd resistor only theres number I apologize very much for bothering you Ruben..you are a Great man has Great heart Thank you.. Greetings and appreciation to you from St. Kitts Island

      @@biancad6289 1/4 watt refers to the type. Here is an example of an older TP4056 board that I modified using a 1/4 watt resistor rlopezxl.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/ds_tp4056mod1.jpg and rlopezxl.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/ds_tp4056mod2.jpg. Use a 1/4 watt 4K resistor. For the SMD resistor, search for "0805 SMD kit" on eBay. It is cheaper to buy SMD resistors in a kit. The kit should include most common values, including 4K.

    These modules are awesome! You can combine those to charge a pack of any S. Check out my review of TP4056 balance charger after 1 year of exploitation czcams.com/video/XrSCNwitxjk/video.html
