Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've posted anything, but now I'm back with another couple of quetsions re: tp4056 chip chargers.
Question 1: Is there any way to easilyuse these to charge up to storage state (3.7v) and stop? I don't really want to add an arduino or anything...just a simple solution if possible.
Background for Question 2: I have watchedmany videos of people building charging stations using 5 - 50 of the TP4056and powering them off of a 5v power supply with positive and negative bus bars to get the power out to all the chargers. I have seen lots where the 5V power supply only puts out 5 amps but is being used for 10+ chargers. The video makers claim that the TP4056 charge at 1 amp (which they do) so now in their charging stations they have 10+ TP4056 charging at 1 amp. To me this math doesn't work.
Question 2: Am I right in thinking that if I build a charging station with 10 TP4056 powered by a 5V 5A power supply, each TP4056 will really only be charging at 500mA? If I want to have 10 TP4056 charging at a full 1A each I'd need to have a 5V 10A power supply - right?I know that I'm using rough math here since the TP4056 is only going to 4.2V there would be a little more amperage...I'm just too lazy to do the math right now.
Thanks,
Eric
