charge service to battery is 2nd priority.priority is given to external load unless faulted or overload on hard start.I.load + I.bat > I.charge.max, reduce I.bat then

So draw a block diagram / wiring schematic and define all interfaces specs for voltage and current and see what needs to be done with parallel load and battery charge to prevent the above failure when current sharing. and load) independently and have flow control from both voltage sources.

So you need to consider how to regulate both output ports ( Bat. The DW01 balancer disconnects charge discharge FETs on the low side The TP4056 uses a high side FET switch to regulate battery current This is to prevent cooking the battery at 4.2V CHRG drives the load draws more the 5%CC used for battery cutoff. However charging and discharging simultaneously requires independent Ibat and Ichg sensing so battery current can be cutoff while charging the load directly. You can use as many cards in parallel as long as do not exceed the source current limit.Įach card has a Rprog to set say for 0.5A or 1A and USB charger hubs often support 2.4A per port such as 6 ganged ports with 60W max which are low cost.(eg Blackweb)

series to charge 1 card to 1 battery from a higher voltage.

parallel operation is to boost currents by sharing.

I forgot to add that the charging time is of little importance. Any extra thoughts on this last point appreciated.Įdit: Added diagram. I have read about there being TP4056s on the market with and without protective circuitry, and I'm thinking this might be what that SE thread is referencing, but I might be wrong about this. This would of course not be an issue with my proposed way of doing things, but it would be for the other two methods.įurthermore - notify me if this requires me to open a separate question -, this SE thread's accepted answer advises that one connect a protective DW01A in between TP4056s and batteries, but as far as I know, that exact circuit is already present on the TP4056 itself. I was also told it'd be bad to connect the inputs of three TP4056s in parallel to one USB breakout board, and I don't know what's up with that (I'd be fine in using diodes, if current flowing in and out of the modules would somehow be the problem). A diagram of this proposal - not including switching mechanisms as mentioned since those are not fundamental to the question at hand, and therefore assuming the TP's OUT will never be outputting anything when there is current flowing into the IN - is found all the way at the bottom.

Personally, I'm most inclined to go with the first approach, since I don't see why a TP4056 would treat three (balanced) batteries differently from a single battery with triple the single-battery capacity. This is an example of people approving the first, this is an example of someone approving the second, and this is what I mean by the third configuration.Īll these seem conflicting to me, and so I'm wondering which is considered bogus, and which is considered good practice. Three TP4056s in a series/parallel configuration with the first having a 3P pack.Three TP4056s in parallel with each having one battery.I've seen people recommending for and against the use of each of the following three scenarios: One of the tasks is to be able to USB-charge three 18650s (Panasonic NCR, 3350 mAh each) in parallel, whilst also being able to draw current from the batteries (not when charging we already have a switching circuit to separate charging and discharging automatically, but this is besides my question).Īfter days of research, it seems to me that over various forums, people are split on the use of multiple batteries and possibly multiple TP4056 in this regard. For a project at uni, I'm trying to learn to work with 18650s and TP4056s.
