  • A powerful DIY power bank that can output more than 200w for only $95 in raw materials, while all other commercial solutions cost 300+ dollars. Highly portable and features DC 5-55V, AC 110V output, which can power virtually anything below 200W.
    Disclaimer: I am not an electrician. Attempt this project at your OWN risk. Lipo battery can easily catch fire and explode if mishandled. This project requires a more than basic understanding of electronics to complete.
    Also, I'm aware that the battery bank in this video is technically 20,000mah @ 11.1v. However, it is still the exact same amount of power as 60,000mah @ 3.7V; I used 60,000 mah to better express the sense of capacity to the average viewer. (Since nearly all commercial power banks measure mAh based on 3.7v)

    I read your comment BUT..... When you put 3 cells in series they become one practical cell... 10AH 10,000Mah.. put that new 12v 10Ah cell into parallel and you have 12v 20Ah..
    Theres no way around the math. If you want a constant use WH.. 248Wh.. Wait... Even then you don't get past that as the cells are series parallel. Im glad you built this cool little power bank. You have some skill but no matter how you look at it its still 20Ah. I gave you a thumbs up because its a nice little power bank but you really should change the title. Its misleading.

      @@squirrel6687 Couldn't tell you exactly, but let me put it this way. CellPro PowerLab chargers (high end LiPo chargers for the RC market) automatically lower their maximum charge voltage in low temperature conditions, specifically to reduce the risk of lipo fires from people charging outdoors in the cold, and then taking them inside.
      As a LiPo's temperature rises, so does its voltage. And if you look up LiPo fires, they're almost universally caused by either damage to the pack, or the voltage of one or more cells rising too high. So heating a fully charged LiPo is an extremely bad idea.

    Great build and stuff but one thing and it is the big thing, IT IS NOT 60Ah! If you connect the batteries in parallel then the capacity will be greater but the voltage will stay the same. If you connect them in series then the voltage will increase but the capacity will stay the same.
    Your battery pack should be rated at 11,1V/20Ah because you have 3x3,7V batteries in series and 2x10Ah in parallel. That is 3*3,7V * 2*10Ah which is about 222Wh, which is the same as 6*(3,7V*10Ah) or just 6x37Wh.

      Yes this is correct.
      The power capacity is 20000mah because the 3s lipo protection board delivers 12V output by supporting 3x 3.7v Lipo batteries. Which means thst for 6 pieces of 3.7v 10000mah batteries, there are 3 groups of 2 Lipos connected in parallel to obtain 12V 20000mah from protection board. You will need 18 Lipo batteries to with an 65 watts protection board to get 60000mah 12V output.

    i don't think, that's a 60000mah actually it's 20000mah, yes you are using 10000mah 6 cells but in your circuit you are using 12v circuit keep it mind if you parallel 2 battery, amp will increase but the voltage is same or if you series 2 battery volt increase but amp same in your steup two 3.7v 10000mah battery parallel=3.7v 20000mah and that 20000mah 3 package in series= 11.1v 20000mah other side parallel all 3.7v 10000mah 6 cell battery=3.7v 60000mah but both are basically same because 11.1x20000mah=222w and 3.7x60000mah=222w, yes your powerbank can give you more than 200w like 222w but but that's not a 60000mah steup

      Exactly! And I'm not one that easily goes "this thing isn't safe". But I (and many other commenters) see a whole host of poor engineering decisions or downright dangerous decisions. not a single fuse in the whole thing for example....

      20000mah 3s is the same thing as 60000mah 1s guys. It just depends on which way the cells are connected when measuring

    • @ertpecsertpecs
      @ertpecsertpecs Před 4 lety

      Let me clarify. It's the same if you were going from the balance plug on a normal 3s lipo which isn't on these lipos. These look like 1s lipos unless the cells are end to end instead of on top of each other. The 3s 5500mah batteries I use are 3 times thicker than these since the cells are on top of each other.
      The way he hooked these lipos up, with just the two wire positive and neg you guys would be correct since it's 12.6v being stepped down. On a regular non hacked 3s lipo you would also have another 4 wire jst looking connector for balance charging that you could use for stuff under a few amps that you could have hooked up to have a 60000mah @ 4.2v capacity. If it's hooked up just to the 12v you're loosing mah due to the efficiency and heat generation of stepping down the voltage.

  • @mwbgaming28
    @mwbgaming28 Před 5 lety +4

    That case you made up just screams SEXY!!!
    as for the internals, here are a few things that you could do to improve the device (a lot of these are in my solar generator, though mine is a lot heavier and bigger)
    > Use 24V as the battery voltage whenever possible when working with lithium ion batteries, 7S lithium is in the perfect range for 24V inverters, USB chargers and other accessories (no boost converters needed) whereas 3S us too low to get full use of the power and 4S is too high for 12V devices to work
    > Heatsink the inverter for Christ sake!!! (That thing will overheat and fry if you don't heatsink the inverter MOSFETs) just having a fan blowing on the MOSFETs isn't going to cut it
    > I would recommend using connector blocks instead of soldering wires together (solder joints often break in portable devices like this
    > Make the battery bigger than you think you need (less chance of inadvertently overloading the battery)
    > Add a fuse or a circuit breaker on the main power rail!!!
    Other than that, this one is pretty damn good
    Mine jas the following specs
    > all metal chassis (more durable than PLA)
    > 24V 40AH 18650 pack (made up of 3 individually removable 7S 5P battery banks for ease of maintenance)
    > 24V - 240V 400W modified sine wave inverter (couldn't find a 400W pure sine inverter that would fit in my design)
    12V lighter socket (120w buck converter)
    24V lighter socket (direct connection to the main power rail)
    > 10V-60V power input (can charge from almost anything, from a car battery to a rooftop solar panel and anything in between)
    > I use 2 BMS boards in parallel for redundancy (I also have top end balancing via the use of voltage triggered resistors if both BMS boards fail)
    > Integrated 20W solar panel (charger of last resort)
    > LCD battery power indicator (gives percentage remaining, battery voltage and a bar indicator)
    > The wiring is uprated to 200% of the maximum power draw I will be pulling from it
    > I use circuit breakers rather than fuses (replacing a fuse in the outback is kind of a bitch)
    > There is also a Li-Po voltage alarm connected to the spare 7S JST connector (there are 4 connectors, 1 for each battery pack and one for maintenance)

Easy to work with and super cheap!
      I just mean to say that 3D printing is cool, but ultimately unnecessary for most projects unless you have the extra cash just laying around. Designing for the printer takes some practice, and I'm sure that can be rewarding. But there is also something to be said for adapting an existing enclosure to your needs, or vice versa.

      @@kralyn3d you should actually measure how long it will power the compressor for in order to get an accurate number
      Take the hours it ran with the compressor on for, then post that as the actual runtime, 220wh/55w for the average 240v mini fridge = about 4 hours of compressor runtime or around 8 if you manage to find one that pulls 25w (this is ignoring the losses in the inverter which would amount to around 30% depending on the type of inverter and the fact that compressors are notoriously hard for inverters to run, then you have to account for the losses in the boost converter that powers the inverter, which would be another 20% on top of that, realistically you would only have about 110wh of usable capacity worst case scenario)
