Using the TP4056 1 amp charger

Post by dasfool » Mon Sep 11, 2017 7:07 pm

So I ordered the charger listed in the newest video (TP4056 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZSC7I8/). I figure battery plus and minus go to the lipo battery. What I'm not sure of is where we wire Helder's board in. Any ideas?

Depends if you're using Helders new Safe Shutdown board or not.

Either way, you're correct in where the battery is attached. B+ and B-.

As for the Out + and Out - it's as follows:

Out +
Goes to middle pin on power switch. The rightmost pin on power switch then goes to VCC of the button PCB.. OR.. Batt + if using the safe shutdown board. (Either will work).

Out -
Goes to GND pad on button PCB...OR... if you're using a safe shutdown board it goes to the Bat - or GND pad. (Either will work).

See generic 4056 image and one of Helders images below.

Pretty straight forward 😎

The charger Wermy linked in his latest update has different connections from the picture you provided.

My crude drawing was based on this:

Good call - mine is the slightly newer one with the protection circuit. Your drawing looks correct :D

Thanks for the replies everyone (and crude drawings!). I should be able to get things working from that. Any reason why wermy suggested the unprotected ones? The cost is pretty similar. The size is a bit different though.

I think most batteries have built in protection, so you don't necessarily need it in the board? I personally bought the protected ones. Little more money. But still really cheap.
