I have read through many post (around 20-30) and have not seen this idea yet so if there was I appologize.
I recently had a bonehead move, inserted a cell the wrong way in tp4056.
I was like wow both red and green light up, so I stuck it in another one same thing
turns out no magic smoke.
Curiously, I stuck another battery hoping that I just burned the led's out and no charging....
DOH!
Here's the question to all more electronically inclined than me.
Could you put a simple diode on the positive side of the between the tp4056 and the battery holder to prevent reverse current and
pulling a "Nautal"?
Or would the reverse current still be enough to fry the board?
Its easier for me to replace the + wire and diode, than the tp4056.
cut 2 ends of a wire... solder a new one in.
vs
remove stupid mistake by solder 4 wires to new board.
