Summary of Solar Battery Charger (LiPo/Li-Ion) || DIY or Buy

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

This person created a solar battery charger using a few basic circuits and found that it was not as efficient as commercial products. They then went outside to try to find better sunlight, but the results were not good. They then performed an indoor efficiency test and found that it was 62 percent. They were happy with the results considering the difficult conditions.

• 00:00:00 This 1-minute video explains how to make a solar battery charger using a solar panel and a Lipo or Lithium-Ion battery. The circuit is suitable for small projects, but care must be taken to protect the battery.
• 00:05:00 The DIY solar battery charger schematic was created using Easy EDA software and a reference datasheet from Consonance Electronics. The schematic was then populated with SMD components and soldered to a PCB. The solar panel was then connected to the boards and tested to ensure that all protection features were working properly. Finally, the lipo battery was tested to verify the boost converter's efficiency and voltage output.
