Handy little multi-cell lithium charger
Added 2024-10-15 15:50:24 +0000 UTC
A very simple, but useful USB powered charger for up to six lithium cells. This is designed for the cells used in things like drones, where you want your spare cells charging while you use the drone.
A couple of odd resistors in the design, mainly to provide some stability when the outputs are open circuit.

I don't know ours- or if we have one tbh. but good idea though

The end of charge trickle will be in microamps so unless the cell was left charging for a very long time (days to weeks) there's no real risk.

I have a drawer full of them. I asked the street cleaner if he would keep an eye out for them. Nice chap!

Woul there be any benefit in adding either a DW01 or 8205 to stop overcharging?

I have yet to find a single discarded disposable vape in my area- even though eveyone seems to be using them as opposed to cigarettes.

One of these might be handy for my mum's vape batteries that always seem flat when she needs one...keeping 5 full at a time could be a "Good Son" gift :)
