День томуWhich battery operated power supply is best for our project? In this video, I have ten boards for the Raspberry Pi, as well as for Arduino, ESP, and STM32 boards. We will compare their features, find out the differences, and test them. Because of the test results, we will not stop there. We will design our own “SuperPower” branded battery power supply.

This project is very interesting, thank you! When one speaks of battery powered devices, there is one question which should be answered :do we want the device to run the longest possible time when on battery, or do we want the battery to have the longest possible life ? As far as I understand, 4.2 V is a maximum to charge a Li-Ion battery. Li-Ion batteries hate high charges, they degrade much faster when maintained at high charges than not. A perfect ups/power supply should allow to maintain the charge of the battery at a lower voltage, say 4.0V for example in case we want a longer battery life. This raises a new difficulty, as most battery protection chips will cut the charge at 4.2V.

@@AndreasSpiess BTW some of voltage converters (up or up/down) I tested behave strange when battery was LOW (below certain point but higher then discharge protection), for example when sun start to charge batteries converters stayed in "off" (or similar) state and only disconnecting them completely and connecting them again fixed that (but I did not dig into it so maybe it was my fault ?). But important to test this behavior when creating ultimate "UPS" :)

Useful to have an interrupt, or digital line, for battery low, that is active for some time before dropout, or a small supercap to allow graceful shutdown when the battery drops out at low voltage.

Nice idea. If you want to be able to carge a 4.2 and 3.6 battery tipe changing just one jumper (or switch), you can take a look at the TP5000 IC, it's a buck charging, up to 9v input (perfect for solar) up to 2A charging. Also, a nice feature would be an intelligent dual function: if the output is 400mA and the battery can charge, at it's current voltage, at 100mA, the carge controller should be able to compare it and still let 500mA go to the battery, since 400 will go directly to the output. If not, each time you have the output on, the cell will be depleted until charging and output current is even, and you will never have the full battery capacity (plus, it will be running charge-discharge cycles depending on the weather, if it's connected to solar power, and the battery will age faster...).

Wow, been looking at this kind of thing for a couple days.

Unfortunately the project was not finished…
@SamFugarino 2 роки тому
@@AndreasSpiess Do you mean is not or was not? Was not is past tense and suggest that it won't be finished. Still sounds like a great idea. I'm trying to build a rover using ROS2, Realsense, OpenVino, RPi, and Aurdupilot. What you described was something I've been looking for to power the RPi (or other sbc). I know there are a couple solutions available, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet.

@@SamFugarino The team does no more work on the project because they were hit by the supply chain crisis and did not get the parts they needed. Your project sounds very interesting. A lot of work, I assume ;-)

Think you should specify parts for JLCPCB SMT assembly libary, as it is a subset of LCSC parts library. To make it feasible for smaller orders a focus on the basic selection should be encouraged.

You are right. I already added a link to this "library"

Excellent... was just wondering if at all my power supply boards will be useful ever..after discovering that they take more power than my esp and rpi ;). I will join to brainstorm and help wherever i can.

Another 'Cruise Missile' of a project homing in on a much needed and beautifully researched and defined application. Glad that it's not just me that discovers the backwaters of Chinese only data sheets. It will be very interesting to see how high this flies. (Give Andreas his due - he even manages to slip in another reference to a non-existent individual).

@@AndreasSpiess Yes I'm sure about that. Also, I found a Wemos esp32 board that comes with a 18650 battery holder, charging and protection circuit, so that's a pretty good premade solution.

I think their reason for putting voltage and current sensor on 5V line instead of battery voltage was not to monitor battery level, but more like to report how much current and power connected device draws, for optimising power usage. And while they could use only current sensing for that they probably wanted it to be more precise. Some time ago I made something like that, I used tp4057, mt3608 and fs312f-g and 8205 for protection. Put everything on small pcb, set it at about 9v and put inside small cheap dso150. Works great. As i made a lot of pcb's due to small size of board (I got like 80 of them at jlcpcb at 5$ probably) I use them sometimes to power up other not very power hungry devices. And as it's common with all my designs, I managed to make a mistake when designing and mislabeled output pins.😅

Hi Andreas, I love your videos! I was wondering whether the four cell variant, from this video, can be used as a UPS for a Raspberry Pi? In your Excel Sheet you remarked that it has a "short interruption if charge is disconnected", so I am wondering whether this short interruption is short enough for the batteries to kick in and start powering the RPi before it has a chance to shut down, as this is a key feature of UPS devices and regular power banks do not support that fast switching. This board is also pretty cheap and can hold 4 batteries which means that it should keep the RPi powed for some time if the power outage is bad. Could you test this and report back the results as I am wondering whether or not to buy it for my RPi. Thanks and all the best :)
@AndreasSpiess 3 роки тому
I will not use this board for the Pi because it does not have the features needed (shutdown, etc.). This is why I started the Superpower project.
@sullivanzheng9586 3 роки тому
SuperPower board is exactly the battery board I am been searching helplessly. Make it happen. Joining github now.
