simon starting the 18650 builds

so i thought i would just start by showing the cabinet i am making, its a charge station of tp4056, 20 in total at this stage but still room for another 10 and the other side will consist of discharge testers, once they arrive in the mail, i will be running the unit from a 5v 60amp 300 w psu, i made it into a cbainet which is lockable, as i have a young daughter, so i dont want any risk or little fingers getting and playing with the unit when it is in operation, i will update photo's as the unit progresses.

finally the portable charge/discharge case is up and running, had a couple discharge boards faulty, so waiting for replacements for them, but all ready to start capacity testing batterys , and yes all batterys i have ready to capacity test have been sitting for over a month +

im runnin



g from a 5v 60amp 300w psu, each main power line has only 10 charger or 10 dischargers running from it, each row is fused and switch to turn on or off, when not in use

Outstanding work mate !!

Some cells get hot when when charging, resistors get hot while cells discharging and power supply too, that's because it have a fan, I wouldn't close the cabinet while working at full capacity.
