New video uploading.
Added 2020-06-02 06:26:58 +0000 UTCI've just started a video uploading, so it should be up later today.
It's about a fairly neat rechargeable LED torch supplied with a charger that tries to directly charge an unprotected 18650 lithium cell to about 7V!
The video has full schematics for the flashlight and charger.
I wonder how many people are using these flashlights and leaving them on charge overnight.

I feel for just everyday folk that have no idea this could burn the house down, Standards need to be introduced.

2020-06-02 15:28:10 +0000 UTCI did wonder that, but the charger does say 4.2V and has circuitry that I would not deem suitable for charging any lithium cells.
