Budget Power bank for a laptop!


Good day or evening!
In this article I want to introduce a portable charger with the ability to adjust the output voltage from 12 to 35 v
This device was made to charge a laptop, but can also be used for other devices, such as high-power LEDs.

Principle of operation:
3 series-connected batteries (18650) give out 12 v then there is a dc-dc boost module
increasing from 12 to 35v and with a load of up to 150 w (150 w subject to forced cooling).
Toggle switches select battery connection modes (SEQUENTIAL, PARALLEL)

For manufacturing, we need:

1) Case
2) Toggle switch 6 PIN (ON-OFF-ON) 2 pcs
3) 2-pcs RCA jacks
4) 3-piece 18650 batteries
5) Li-ION charge board on TP4056 chip
6) Boost stabilizer
7) Multimeter
8) Soldering iron, tin, flux
9) Wires
10) Drill
11) Hot melt adhesive

I took the case from the old power supply


Mark the holes for the toggle switch and drill


Then we solder everything according to the scheme


The wires were taken from a computer power supply


This is how it should turn out


Since a laptop needs 19 v 3.5a


Boost stabilizer needed

Budget Power bank for a laptop!

The converter was purchased in China and has the following characteristics:
Input voltage - 10 ... 32 V.
The output voltage is 12 ... 35 V.
Output current up to 6 A.
Input current up to 10 A.
Free cooling output power is 100 watts.
The output power when blowing is up to 150 watts.
Efficiency up to 94%.
The open circuit current is 25 mA.
Dimensions - 6.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 cm
Before assembly into the enclosure, everything must be checked and configured.



Total:
As a result, we get a charger with two output voltages of 19 v and 4.1 v, if you wish, you can add a USB socket with a boost module to the case and eventually get two in one.


Demonstration of work:
7.8
8.3
6.8

In addition to what has already been said. When the voltage at the output of the converter increases by 1.625 times, the number of times (and taking into account the efficiency of the converter is even greater), the current consumed from the cans increases, they will not last long.

It depends on which laptop it might not be enough for 5 minutes, judging by the photos there are 19.5V, 3.33A, 65W! It should be borne in mind that when connecting a similar battery to a laptop with a discharged battery, this battery should not only power the laptop, but also charge its battery, and they are not always removable.
Ivan_Pokhmelev,
I think we will not find out about this))
If we do not see the date of manufacture of the elements, but that is another story.
Most likely, you are right, though, the use of batteries from a disassembled unit still does not say anything about the term of their use: it could be that after some time the laptop was in use, its owner changed the battery pack, but soon the laptop failed and he gave up disassembling it.

This photo will answer the questions. 18650 pairs are welded and tap as in notebook ones, isolation from paper tape ... In the photo there are just 6 pieces with a standard battery.
The photo is not displayed. In general, the photo after the inscription "For the manufacture we need:"
I’ll ask the question differently: where does the author write that used ear batteries are used?
Maybe because of the common cold I’m dull, but how to understand?

It does not follow from anywhere, the rest is correct.
Mysteriously described mysterious device. As correctly noted popvovka, the batteries are not protected, the laptop can work for about half an hour, so it is suitable only for emergency cases of short work.
It is not clear why two connectors, a charge board, for what
you can add a USB slot with a boost module to the case
.
There is no electrical circuit, only the electrical circuit of a piece of the product is shown.
And I repeat: tin is used to solder dishes, not electronics.

Since the elements are boo,
It does not follow from anywhere, the rest is correct.
The boost converter will squeeze out all the juices from your elements, their discharge limits are not implemented.
Since the elements are used, their capacity is different. One element will have 3.2 volts, and the second may already have 2.5 volts.
At a current of 3 amperes, to power a laptop, for example, the device will last for a small amount of time. The path without taking into account the converter itself.
It is necessary to introduce control of each cell. It is advisable to use elements new or of the same capacity.
This is not all the subtleties of this device.
