This BQ24295 IC is like a super smart charger chip. This one is not just for charging battery, but also doing many other jobs like boost converter, USB detection, power path control, and even OTG (host power supply). So we can say that this is a full battery charging and power management IC. Let us […]

What is T856-C Power Bank Module? How to Connect
So here we are talking about one small board called T856-C. We use this little module when we want to make one DIY power bank at home, like those we use to charge phones and other USB things. It can charge one 3.7V Li-ion battery like 18650 and also give us 5V output to run […]
Use this Battery for 50 Years without Charging
A novel battery technology, developed by Beijing-based firm Betavolt, has been introduced. It boasts an astounding 50-year lifespan without the need for maintenance or charging. With 63 radioactive isotopes contained in a module the size of a penny, this ground-breaking nuclear battery is a leader in the field of atomic energy miniaturization. https://twitter.com/Byron_Wan/status/1746801325722239367/photo/1 Advancements in […]
Accumulators Explained [Rechargeable Batteries]
Unlike dry batteries, whose stored electrical energy can only be used once, accumulators have the immense advantage of reversibility, which translates into the possibility of a series of charge/discharge cycles. This means that they can undergo a series of charge/discharge cycles. They are found in applications that may require more power, such as starting the […]
Laptop Power Bank Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple laptop power bank circuit which can be used for charging a laptop battery during travelling or during outdoor trips. This device can be specifically useful on situations or places where an AC mains outlet is unavailable or difficult to find. Why Laptops Need a […]
Gel Cell Battery Charger Circuit [Constant Current, Constant Voltage]
In this post I have explained what are gel cell batteries and also learn how to build a specialized charger for charging a gel cell battery, with full calculations. The proposed circuit works in two modes: it starts charging a discharged gel cell battery with constant current, until the full charge voltage is reached across […]
